A new bill in the Washington state Senate would allow alcohol sales in strip clubs.
Dancers at a hearing on the measure seem to be all for it.
“The time for a change in this industry is long overdue,” Sharla, one of the dancers who testified, said.
Right now, only non-alcoholic beverages are served. Alcohol sales would bring a new source of revenue to the clubs, something the entertainers are all for.
"It would take away a tool that abusive clubs use to put pressure on dancers,” Emily said. “It would make Washington clubs on par with other states where alcohol is sold, and house fees for dancers are substantially lower.”
Currently in Washington, dancers pay a fee to work in the clubs. If this bill is passed it is likely that dancers would have to pay less.
Entertainers say there are also other benefits.
“In clubs that don’t serve alcohol, I had to deal with more violent or aggressive customers than places that do serve alcohol,” Lexi said. “The sales of alcohol would allow clients to bond with their friends and with the dancers as well.”

LOL
We are already going to hell, on the way, lets grab some vodka and tequila for the road..
Maybe they are the kind of strippers for whom alcohol is needed first.
“In clubs that don’t serve alcohol, I had to deal with more violent or aggressive customers than places that do serve alcohol,”
Sounds backwards.
Where the music stinks and they water the drinks. The nudie bar.
Where the girlies dance in their underpants. The nudie bar.
Where you see their butt and their trap stays shut. The nudie bar.
Dancers are for it! You think??
LOL. I had no idea that strippers in WA couldn’t pull the old “Buy me a glass of champagne?” gag on unsuspecting drunks.
It loosens up the purse strings they think
Wait until things get crazy
No booze at a strip club? That’s just wrong.
Where I live, you can drink at a topless bar, but the bottoms stay on. Or you can go to the “full” strip club, but then you can’t drink. Guess they want you to prioritize.
"Dancers are for it! You think??"
I went to a BYOB strip club in Philly once.
That was...interesting.
I thought Washington strip clubs required you to buy coffee?
What’s a titty bar without a bar?
Sounds backwards.
It is backwards and she knows it, she's just spouting BS. Violent and aggressive customers are what the bouncers are for anyway. The real reason the strippers want booze legalized is because drunk customers tip more. Nothing loosens up the purse strings and turns $1 bills into $5's like having some booze in you.
A strip club without booze?
That is a weird state.
They use heroin, instead.
That, and guys get talked into buying them champagne...cheap swill that the house charges them $7 (that was 40 years ago) a glass for, then splits the proceeds with them.
