How to drink in moderation at the club?

Order a bottle of water in between drinks

I almost never drink booze in a club. And I don't pre-game either, unless I'm out with friends.

First, I mostly do my PL time in California clubs, where nude clubs can't serve alcohol.

Next, if I'm at a nude club I'm almost always looking for extras. So I don't want to be encumbered by bad judgement or the adverse affects too much drinking can have on my...Ahem!... "performance."

There are exceptions, of course, as in some places NOT drinking makes you look out of place. But even then, I can nurse a beer for over an hour.

There are other places and times when I drink; a great wine paired with a great steak, a vodka martini (very dry, no olive, with a twist, please) at a business or social dinner, and a good single-malt (neat please!) as a night cap. But when I'm looking to get me some quality time in a club, I want to be sober.

If you can't stop once you start, you might be an alcoholic. And just haven't admitted it yet.
Something to THINK about. Especially before driving on the same roads the rest of us do.

Not remembering your strip club fun seems like a sin against your humanity.

I don’t remember who said this but you are a drunk not an alcoholic
Best thing you can do is pace yourself to not drink more than I alcoholic drink every 35-40 minutes if you need to order a water after each drink and don’t order another drink till you finish the bottle of water.

If you don’t like to drink water order a coke, tonic water, club soda, etc.

If I were you and you want to drink - go to a sports bar and have a good time, Uber it home. It will be a lot cheaper than strip club drink prices.

When you want to see some T&A go to the strip climb but don’t drink that way you’ll remember how you spent your money and hopefully remember the good lap dance you got from a hot stripper instead of forgetting everything.

Discipline. Know your limit and condition yourself to walk when you've reached it. If that's not possible then IMHO you'd better off avoiding places that serve alcohol.

I'm with Rick D on this one. Go to a BYOB club and bring only water. That's my MO generally.

I had the same issue at first, the water in between each drink is a great way to go. Better for health, sleep and hangovers as well as pacing.

Stick to light beers - they have somewhat low alcohol and have a lot of water already in them to keep you more hydrated than liquor would. I usually do 2 max then switch to water or red bull. If I still need more drink after that, I've been in the club too long already

If you can’t prevent yourself from drinking and driving, you have a problem. You are putting lives at risk. If you are unable to drink in moderation, then you need to either stop drinking or stop driving.

^ it amazes me how so many strippers get totally drunk at work then drive home.

For an LDK Pimp like the OP - you must always be in control of your facilities.

If you get drunk in a club - how can you be a stone cold pimp?

You may need to turn in your pimp card...

"it amazes me how so many strippers get totally drunk at work then drive home"

It's like the dead squirrel you see on the the road. Little guy no doubt made dozens of successful crossings.

I’ve known strippers who can’t work sober. There is something about their job that bothers them so much that they need to be drunk to put up with it. That’s a clear sign that they need a major change in their life, starting with a new career.

In my pre-pandemic clubbing days the dancers either hid their drinking very well - or they indulged in other chemicals to get out and do extras for the filthy customers.

However, I noticed one dancer who seemed to enjoy drinking too much. It was interesting to watch - as she was clearly uncomfortable being on stage (it was a small stage at best) - and she would generally find a customer and make conversation and order beer. One night I saw the manager cut her off - as she had gotten a bit sloppy and uncoordinated.

It’s easier now to notice when a dancer stops by with the smell of marijuana on her. Booze can be less noticeable if they freshen themselves up after downing a few shots.

This thread has taken the usual turn when discussing alcohol in strip clubs. We've once again entered the bizzaro world where supposed strip club patrons pound the drum for alcohol abstinence and even get judgy about dancers who partake. Meanwhile, here in the real world, alcohol consumption is a common occurrence with the vast bulk of club customers and no small % of dancers, especially on night shift.

But I do apologize for interrupting these virtue signaling festivities and by all means please proceed. I'd hate to rain on the self satisfaction parade of dayshift teetotalers who take great pleasure from this sort of exercise. 😁

^What Rick said. I'm always amazed at how none of the guys on the strip club web site drink, smoke, use drugs, etc. A bunch of choirboys!

One of my favorite dancers told me she drank 12-18 drinks a day. No way would I try to outdrink her!

I agree with Ricky. He definitely knows his limits when he is around me because he doesn't drink when we hang out 😉. He has to drink heavily and be drunk to look at yucky vaginas though. I can't blame him for that 😉

I also think that you may have an alcohol problem if you want to drink less but can't stop yourself once you get started.

If you can't control yourself after you have that first drink, it seems like the options are: 1. always take uber/taxi/etc to the club, so you don't kill anyone on the way home, or 2. abstain from alcohol at the club.

There's pacing you can do, like promise yourself "one drink every 45 minutes" and program your phone to alert you when you can have your next drink. That might help if all you need is a little pacing. But if you overall completely lack control after that first or second drink, you'll ignore that too.

I love love love drinking with strippers, so I usually take public transit to the club, or just pace things out when I drive my own car. If you drive your own car and drink too much, grab a hotel room and crash.

I'm like you Subraman. I have times when I drive, usually daytime, but moderate at those times. At night, I will get a hotel near the club or Uber because I enjoy partaking with the ladies. Tipsy strippers tend to be more fun when you take them back for VIP.

If you know youre going to be in the club for 2 hours, slam 2 shots as soon as you get there. 3 shots for 3 hours. only order non alcohlic beverages after. wait until enough hours have passed since your last drink. 1 shot or beer equals 1 hour after you have finished your drink.

I drink; I smoke weed; Desires is almost 50 miles from my house. I don't like clubs sober at all. I drive there and back. Oh well.

It's a natter of self control. When you get older like me (79) alcohol and erections don't work together and I would prefer the sex. So I have been dry for 12 years. I don't miss the booze.

if im sober, i dont enjoy the SC experience without alcohol. if im not drinking i dont go to the club. so girls dont look that great without alcohol. Alcohol clouds my judgement in a good way for the strippers

^5 well said.

I've been down the heavy drinking road while clubbing - and I can offer insight from years of experience. Its a bad choice - if its a choice. If its an addiction - its a bad one too.

If you can avoid heavy drinking while clubbing - that is a good thing. Heavy drinking is more dangerous than getting a buzz. A buzz isn't always good either - as the lessened inhibitions can lead to poor choices. If those two dancers want to go otc with you and you are buzzed - you might still recognize red flags - but when you are very intoxicated you might miss everything and end up with no credit cards, a bank account that has been drained, a stolen car, identity stolen, and you could endanger your family too.

Its good to enjoy yourself at the club - I agree. But waking up somewhere and not knowing where you are or how you got there - is especially dangerous if your night began in a strip club.

I agree Cash, but after 45+ years of strip clubbing while hammered I haven't done otc in over 30 years, so other than getting arrested, which has had its opportunities already, I have no concerns lol.

Ski - true. You are an experienced clubber. You don't need my advice.

Younger guys or guys new to this hobby - may not know their limits - and it can lead to many bad experiences.

I Probably do need it lol. I just won't listen, cuz I am me lol.
