llcooljoe 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 If you are doing a disco from say 7.30 until 12.00. Would you have an alcoholic drink at all during that time? :dan: Do you drink booze at all while you are working? I am whatever you say I am Link to post Share on other sites
High Fidelity 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Depending on the time factor, I normally allow myself 1 bottle of beer while I'm setting up (if the bars open), and then one after I've finished setting up. After that it's iced water all night. :hurt: because I'm driving. Best drinks I've had was a disco in a community centre/village hall, where they kept me supplied with cups of tea and coffee all night. :Thumbup: Quitting Smoking & Drinking doesn't make you live longer It just feels like it.

Would you have an alcoholic drink at all during that time? :dan: Do you drink booze at all while you are working? No, I don't drink any alcohol at all whilst working. Apart from the extra toilet breaks required, it affects concentration and as I usually drive, I don't mix drinking with driving. I usually only drink water. Link to post Share on other sites

rictic 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 to be totally honest it depends where i am. if i have to drive, no way. if it is a normal gig or a party or wedding no way. but!!!!!!!! there are 2 venues i have where i am more pals with everyone than just the d.j. these 2 places i can let my hair down,metaphorically cos i'm bald, and party with the guys. i really enjoy those 2 gigs, got one of them tonight. i'm not just the hired help and we have a great time. but normally no. i dont drink. just cola and stuff or even as stated earlier a nice cuppa is always welcome. <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
Corabar Steve 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Like it's going out of fashion if I'm not working. I may have a pint at the start of a function then it's soft drinks all the way. The pint would be well out of my system by the time I've done the job & packed down. I think it's psychological. Have a pint, relax, do the job & enjoy myself. Steve... Mad bad & dangerous to know Better to study for one hour with the wise, than to drink wine with the foolish.

DJ Marky Marc 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Depends on the venue and type of function.. but if I do, its just 1 bottle of beer and then soft drinks all night.. Im not fussed about drinking anyway.. I dont drink to get drunk, and becuase of the amount of work I do im always the sober one who drives.. <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites

D.X 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Depends who the disco is for. A customer then no, but me and my mate organise events for charity or our friends and only our friends attend so I get as hammered as the next person :dan: Doesn't affect my ability to perform but would look totally unprofessional to a client.

Norfolk DJ 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 90% of the time it's bottled water. 10% of the time I will have a pint if the client offers only. This is usually about 8.00-9.00pm Link to post Share on other sites
robbiedj 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) Best drinks I've had was a disco in a community centre/village hall, where they kept me supplied with cups of tea and coffee all night. :Thumbup: My kind of customer! tongue out icon Seriously though, usually coke all night. My driving licence is too valuable to even think about alcohol. The only times I have indulged in a couple of drinks (and I mean a couple) is at two shows where I was very friendly with the customers and they had booked me a room in the hotel. Only had to pack and go upstairs. We did join them in the bar for a little while after the party had finished. Edited November 17, 2007 by robbiedj You want me to play what?

milhouse 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Red Bull usually - 1 or 2 cans max during my usual 6 hour club/bar gig every night. Used to have a couple of beers but I tend to drive to all my gigs now so wouldn't ever think about it. Occasionally have beer with the venue manager at the end of the night and with the rest of the staff if I'm not driving. Link to post Share on other sites
KrazyKaz 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 No alcohol, but might have a red bull if available other than that diet coke, lucozade or water They don't call me Krazy for nothing!

brianmole 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Red Bull usually - 1 or 2 cans max during my usual 6 hour club/bar gig every night. Jon, please be careful with that stuff, it's not got a very healthy list of ingredients. I will resort to Red Bull only in extreme circumstances.

jamesmurphy 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 I don't drink alcohol when I'm woorking. Unfortunately if I'm gonna have a drink I like more than one, so I feel its better for me not to have any. And before you say it.....no I'm not an alcoholic...lol Link to post Share on other sites
eazy 0 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 never drink when im workin ( diet coke only ) a job is a job you wouldnt get away with it in any other job and i think the more you drink the less you focus on the crowd having a goodtime and more about if your enjoying yourself Eazy Entertainment Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Westcott 0 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Never. I don't drink anyhow, but even if I did like a can or three I think it looks unprofessional to be slurping whilst your client, who has paid you a lot of money, looks on. Save the alcohol for when you aren't being paid for your time. Link to post Share on other sites
