Should Strip Clubs Limit Strippers to One Drink Per Hour?

ilbbaicnl
This is largely a hypothetical, as most clubs seem to turn a blink eye even to dancers shooting up in the bathroom. The main reason strip clubs cause problems is that they attract dancers with substance abuse problems, and that in turn tends to attract criminal types to the locality. But gubment would rather do a DOGE, close down clubs, rather than make them benign amenities through regulation (as is typically the approach with businesses providing alcohol).

last commentI think this might be hard to do to subcontractors but they should definitely send home over the top intoxicated dancers. I NEVER deal with drunk dancers for any reason period.

I haven’t known this to be a problem. Occasionally I’ve encountered a dancer who’s obviously drunk or on drugs, who I’ll simply avoid. But I always thought that the clubs encouraged dancers to have customers buy drinks for them (whether they drink them or not), and often the dancer drinks are significantly more expensive than the customers drinks.

I've only encountered the drink hustle in a minority of clubs.
It's pretty common for clubs to ban certain dancers from drinking while working. Assuming that's legal, a club should be able to limit drinking.

Strip clubs that sell alcohol make a ton of money that way. It's not likely a club would willingly cut out a legal revenue stream. Clubs are a business.

Alcoholics (and other types of addicts) are generally functional enough that they don't typically pass out or get disruptive when they're under the influence. But their addiction does seem to make them more likely to get involved with criminals. It stands to reason that criminal guys are going to gravitate to places with women willing to get involved with them.

When you're at a table with a stripper and order drinks, you don't get to see how the drinks are made. You get served a real drink. The stripper knows the drink she ordered will actually be non-alcoholic fruit juice. The club makes a ton of money on stripper drinks avoids the possibility of drunk strippers.

If I knew a dancer ordered (and I paid for) an alcoholic drink and I was aware it was fake, I'd grab a manager to give them an earful, leave, and probably write a review here. I would be p..i..s..s..e..d.

It varies on the club and dancer. I have seen some that made a habit of needing to be cut off and some clubs where you didn’t see dancers messed up. Like patrons though contractors or not dancers shouldn’t be over served.

I don't care if the club runs a drink scam or not. What difference does it make me? And seeing how I don't like drunk dancers it's a good thing she doesn't get thrashed when we are together.

I experienced a drink scam being exposed at a well known club in RI. I was sharing a table with another customer because the club was very crowded. They were having some porn star feature entertainer that evening who used puppets in her show.
I had my drink and a stripper joined us. She asked the customer to buy her a drink. After some small talk about drinks and what she wanted he agreed and the waitress came over. She ordered and he said that the drink she ordered sounds good and he'll have the same. The waitress returned with the two drinks and placed one in front of the stripper and the other in front of the customer.
He quickly picked up the strippers drink and began jokingly comparing it to his drink. He then switched drinks and placed his drink in front of the stripper. The stripper complained that he switched drinks and she wanted her drink. He said that the drinks are the same. She insisted and he refused. Finally, he tried the stripper's drink and said something like just as I suspected, a fake drink, no alcohol. The stripper left the table. The waitress took the real drink and left the table without getting paid for anything.

One night at Kings Inn on Cape Cod was ordering drinks on the fly for a dancer who had been cut off. It seemed like it was a routine event for her. She was apparently enough of a hard core alcoholic that she didn’t seem impaired, so the bartender must have been keeping track.
I had a flight attendant on a cross-country flight pull the “one drink an hour” thing on me. She laid down the law when I ordered my second beer, so it wasn’t like I was in the bag. Never happened before or since. In fact, I sat next to a guy who put away 5 or 6 on a flight from BOS to PHL. He was bouncing off the walls of the jetway when we exited the plane

I think some dancers get cut off on an individual basis.

No because liquor makes them do nasty and naughty things. Which I likey

I wish to clarify my post that says no.
That is an answer to the title of the OP.

If clubs chased away all the girls with substance problems, there would be almost no American Born dancers left

I love drunk strippers. Ive had the most fun getting wasted with them.

Lol! No Icey, you probably enjoy stroking your ego and think everything they tell you, or any consent they give you while wasted is legit.

Some have to drink to handle their job. I knew one dancer who had several shots in the parking lot before she came in. She told me she had to be at least half drunk "to suck 7 or 8 dicks every day"

@gm It's dubious whether it's helping her, to have the option of living that way. I would guess she's an alcoholic, doesn't only need to drink to excess while working. If she couldn't work in the club, maybe she'd touch bottom and be motivated to go into recovery. Or maybe she'd just be a sex worker in less safe circumstances.

I dont know any girl who can do her job sober. Because of the types of customers they deal with. The shit work conditions

What nanny nonsense. A grown ass woman can make those decisions for herself. Also most clubs won't do this simply because it reduces drink purchases from customers.
Instead many clubs keep "safe" bottles behind the bar for dancers who want to limit their alcohol intake. I know that a lot of guys object to this, but what's the functional alternative? At least in the clubs that I frequent, most girls would be out cold if they drank all the fully loaded drinks that customers offer them. From my perspective, if she's making the effort to be sociable, I'm not going to question closely what she's actually drinking, nor will I feel ripped off if she's sitting there with me for a bit.
And yes, many clubs will restrict specific girls if they've had a problem in the past. But IME that's often a case-by-case situation.

Icey your goal seems to be to get the girl so drunk she cant properly consent. You also think anything they say or do while drunk is evidence when its not

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I have to agree with RMD on this one. 😏
Don't get me wrong, I'm guessing that RMD has a much more sweeping view of "unable to give consent" than I do. Fortunately here in the free state of Florida, we don't infantilize grown adults. Unless one is very visibly fucked up to the point of near incapacitation, one can generally give consent.
But falling down drunk is falling down drunk. Even serious degenerates have to have lines they won't cross. Mine are when she can't walk straight, or stay on her own two feet, or is heavily slurring her words, or pukes, or is nodding off if not outright passed out, or any combination of these since they often come in combo packs, lol.

Unless she passes out she can choose what to do. Last time I was drunk with a stripper I was falling asleep and she was trying to get me to fuck her. ... I didnt feel violated
