Buying 18-20yos drinks...?

"I tend to bounce the 19-year-olds from the table when I'm in a drinking mood"
I know at my home club it's pretty crazy easy to buy drinks for 18-20yo dancers. Is this difficult or risky in other parts of the country?
Got something to say?

I've heard tales of customers bringing in alcohol for some girls, either because it's a no-alcohol club or...other reasons. That seems to me to be a practice more risky than it's worth. All it takes is an undercover to see her with it; I find it unlikely that an 18, 19 or 20 year old girl is going to be able to resist the types police intimidation in use today; it's almost a given that she'll finger the provider.
There is one club that requires dancers to wear wristbands, but that is because they have received attention from TABC before.

@PaulDrake It was at your home club that I actually got shit from one of the bartenders. The customer offered me a drink, so I ordered one. And she asked me if I was old enough in an aggressive I’m-on-to-you kind of way.
I offered to grab my license from the dressing room, and she responded with “I DON’T serve to underage girls”, glared at me, and then went off to get our drinks.
But there’s a certain type of aggressive/insecure female who occasionally like to make up excuses to come after me for whatever reason. These types also like to portray themselves as a bad bitch. I only met her once but I’d say there’s a 95% chance she is one of them.
Either that or there really is somebody who works there who actually does care about underage drinking.
Beside, most clubs seem to be good at self regulating the issue because the last thing they want is trouble with their liquor license. I've noticed a lot of girls will drink "vodka and redbull" that is actually water and redbull.
This exact scenario happened to me as well. In my case, she had apparently been served alcohol before but for w/e reason, i forget, they didnt give it to her that time.
As a general matter, I won't do that. But I will also admit that I've had a few lapses in judgment over the years. I've never been happy with the notion that a 19 year old can sign contracts and even die for our country overseas, but can't buy a fucking six pack if he/she wants.
Anyway! Long way of saying, it does happen sometimes because it somehow pops out in conversation, but I often don't know how old she is when I try to order our first round. Often, it's at that point that she'll tell me "I'm only 20, I can't drink", and then she gets thanked for her time, tipped if appropriate (that is, she had already spent a lot of time with us), and bounced. I have to admit, I have sometimes heard "I'm 20, but as long as we keep it on the down-low, it's cool", and have run with it

Sounds like someone was jealous
Even with Wristbands all the girl has to do is ask you to order the drink. Waitresses know the expensive vodka or tequila drink is not for me, but bring it anyway. At one club the waitress asked if I wanted one or two.
I have no issue with 18yo's drinking whatsoever. Particularly those who are deemed mature enough to dance nude on a stage or a lap. At the same time, I do have some respect for club management that makes an attempt to honor the terms of their liquor license. So, if the adults serving drinks are willing to serve the adult asking for one, I'm not gonna stop them.
I'm nearly positive the girls only need to be 18 to get their dancer cards though. As in, I've seen a girls ID showing her age at 19 and her dancer permit. This was some years back though, so I guess its possible it could have changed when they had the little scandal with the fee's being pocketed and subsequently made some changes to the program. I do still see under 21's at the three major clubs in PB, and I've been told SR/Monroes have zero flexibility on girls having their cards to work. They literally hold the girls cards when they check in & return them when they pay their fees at the end of the day I'm told.
I've never noticed wristbands on any of the girls but I'm willing to bet if it is an issue or the club has been warned they are keeping a close watch on what the girls drink.
