Carol doesn't drive but still has 2 glasses of wine with lots of J2O inbetween (she doesn't like coke) I have seen heavily drinking djs at work and didn't like it. I have also been told horror stories by clients who have suffered from them. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/nono.gif Not my style thank you. You want me to play what?

Steve_Mitchell 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 A lot of you are saying,,"when there are no guests in the room" What difference does it make?

jackcu 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Seems like there's an awful lot of the brown fizzy stuff being drunk - I hope you're all signed up to weightwatchers ;) I'm always driving so I drink pints of water. When I get offered alcohol I just say "damn, I'm driving." Then 2 bottles of wine and a few treble vodkas when I get home. Jack. Link to post Share on other sites

Steve_Mitchell 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 We are talking about drinking here and lots of you are drinking alot of water.. Does anyone have a problem going to the WC?? Leaving your gear alone ETC. I personally have a pint glass at hand to urinate in. When the glass is full I pour it into an empty gallon smoke fluid tube, take it home, dilute it with water and pour from a watering can on my lawn. It make your lawn nice and green.

DJGAVT 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 The agent I work for wont let us drink (alchol) or smoke while we are working. I would only ever drink coke or j2o while working anyways and I dont smoke so that is not an issue. I think it just looks unproffesional. Link to post Share on other sites
DJ Geco 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Always Coca-cola http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/pepsi.gif (as the song goes) a nice pint of the stuff with plenty of ice, at least 2 pints a night! As for smoking, i don't do it but i don't think it makes the DJ look un-professional! Link to post Share on other sites
robbiedj 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 QUOTE (stevemitchell @ Aug 9 2005, 10:42 AM) Robbie What if pepsi isn`t on sale ? Lemonade, fanta, 7-up, any thing similar. I don't want to drink alcohol while working and especially when I am driving. My licence is too valuable to lose for a couple of drinks. By the way, I don't drink beer or lager anyway, though I might have a guinness when out socialising, not working. You want me to play what?

Corabar Steve 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I tend not to drink alcohol when there are guests present with very few exceptions & then only 2 spread over the night. If people persist in trying to buy you a pint just tell them you're an alcoholic, this soon gets the cola flowing! (only ever done this when working a bar & not DJing but I'm sure it would work, most people will accept the fact that you are driving anyway) Steve...

Paul Forsyth 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) I drink Diet coke / pepsi (shows, doesn't it) which I take myself. Will, like others, have a glass of something for toasts, non-alchoholic if available. Neither me or roadie (if attending) drink alchohol whilst working. I think people's attitudes to being offended by refusing alchohol have changed, and most people will accept that you're working and buy you a soft drink.
