R U a DJ alcoholic, if you take more then 2 or 3 Drinks a night.... This post is for you, Do you take a shot or a drink of something to calm yours nerves, Do you take shots with random customers and buy drinks for chicks with short skirts. How many drinks do you have in a night while DJing, Have you ever been so drunk to where someone has to drive you home, and you can't pack your equipment up! So you gotta leave it in the club. R U a DJ alcoholic

I used to be like that when I Dj'ed and lived downtown, but now that my gig is in Decatur and I live in College Park I can't get wasted. I drink 2 or 3 Beers in course of my 3 hour gig and occaisionally take a shot.. I used to drink a whole six pack of beer and buy my own 375ml bottle of rum or vodka to sip on during the night. Those days are over, besides I'm trying to get my weight right so I can't do all of that.

my tolerance for alchohol is pretty damn high so i have to bring my own bottle with me just to get a good buzz. since the drinks i get there are pretty weak, that and i like having my drink there when i need it cause im pretty low on my bartenders priority list whenb we have a good crowd of tipping customers

When I was in the states and played strictly HIP-HOP and DANCEHALL with my crew in Detroit, I crush Heinekens and Guiness on the regular, lol, we always had a DD, one guy never drank. In Germany it's serious, drinking and driving is NOT tolerated at all.

My DJ buddy works for them and hooks me up with free cases whenever I help him out with stuff. I stopped drinking alcohol and switched to red bull, a couple a night.

I've been sober going on 6 months now, it give you a different perspective on things. It also makes it harder to deal w/ all of the patrons and their drunkenness :)

At the bar I dj at, I get my tab compensated. I find it easier to deal with the rediculous drunk chicks when I'm drunk. I usually will have about 5 Jack and cokes in my 3.5 hour set.
It never fails: there's a sound-cut switch behind the bar, and at 1:59 every Saturday, they cut the sound off to close the bar. Every single time, I freak out because I think that something went horribly wrong. When you're 5 Jack and cokes in, the freakout is amplified.

Try waking up every 30 minutes to a waking nightmare you fell asleep while DJing and the music stopped and you're frantically trying to restart it but it won't start back up... Then you wake up... I don't get that much anymore..

1 to 3 blunts makes me play chill shit and want to order a pizza wile playing< not good
1 to 2 lines not bumps lol special k < wow i had to crawl of of the dj booth and left everything on and walked straight out of the club with all my shit left there.
2 to 5 rolles i djed for 10hrs plus countless times with my best playing to date, i dont do it anymore though:(
asid mushrooms < not that fucking crazy and now that i play videos i might have been tempted to play some insane clown posy..< not a good idea!
Sober the last to weeks and i felt like my set was kinda boring so im going to stick to 3 to 8 miller lights!
I can keep a case of beer in my fridge at home for a month i only drink at work to get on there level and it helps! I have not done drugs in 5 years i think you just grow out of it!
I must say getting paid good money and keeping my job now for this long and doing all that i have done makes me really love djing!

I'm talking about dj's who drink 6 beers, 4 shots, a red bull and vodka 4-5 times a week. We all know plenty who do this. Eventually it will catch up to you, either by DUI or health issues.
