alcohol free clubs

[Joseph Schweizer]

In my opinion, people can moderate. Mnay of the parties and clubs have
people dancing and drinking (among other things) with no problems.

Yeah most do, but the bar licence only goes on till 2 or 3am whereas the club
itself will probably carry on till 6 or 7am. You don't usually get drunks at
these sort of places though.

I definitely definitely think that there should be more alchohol free
clubs, its not like me and my phriends don't get admitted (people
usually don't card) but we've just been hit on by way too many obnoxious
DRUNK guys who figure you'll f*ck them because you're E-ing. Whats the
point of alchohol anyway, it just makes people all surly and I
personally can't dance worth shit when I'm trashed.

Fair enough, I guess any drug can be used well in moderation, including
alcohol.

One thing that the sceen has taught me is that alchohol is not important.
I used to enjoy drinking but noe even if i'm at a top forty club (rare) I
order the big glass of water.

Never seen a fight at a rave, but I have seen lots of agression by those
using acid or pcp. I don't care for the edge. Its a cheep high...

Most clubs here do sell Alcohol but only early in the evening. The bars
normally stop serving beetween 11 and 2.
