Sure I DO have a beer or two every night when I am working for free, but come on... how can you pass off free beer. And sometimes I'll have a drink or two before I go to work. But not very often. Since I worked 4 nights last week, and have 5 lined up for this week I only had monday and tuesday off, so I figured i'd go out and party some.
And I was drinking with other people.
How is that alcoholism :fawk:
I bartended for 6+ years and grew up not only in bars but with an alcoholic father who also owned bars and bartended...I know how things in the industry work. I also know that working in a bar you are one of two things..an alcoholic or becoming an alcoholic.
Not ripping on you so don't take it personal but after being around it for 20+ years total I know the deal andhave heard all the stories to go with it.
