I hear you! I used to run the lights in a dance clubs. Free drinks all night! I drank coke. Once, the DJ and I were both sober, so that was cool. Place closed at4am and the employees would sit at the bar and have a few. I usually skipped that, or I'd stay once in awhile for the conversation. They weren't drunks so it was cool.
I actually miss those days. It was fun and I enjoyed it. Sober
