drunken dj question

[Student]

You can drink much more when your spinning simply because you need to stay focused and that helps a lot. One drink after spinning though and you're knocked off your feet

It's fine as long as you steady the room with one hand...

I feel like i listened to too much rap back in the day.

Its a white substance that sobers you up when wasted.

Young jeezy had a phrase " Jeezy the snowman, I make it winter time."

metaphors and lingo maneeee

(it was a joke)

A drunk DJ, to me, is incredibly unprofessional. From the outside looking in, it says that you aren't taking your job seriously. It makes me laugh when I hear (usually new) DJs whining about how they want to be separated from the pack and be seen as a pro, and then are hammered out of their gourd an hour later behind the decks. I will have a beer or two after my set. The job I was hired for is completed, and I got paid. I can relax now. But to drink on the job (which, if you're getting paid for the night, is exactly what you're doing) is a pretty amateur move.

That's just my $0.02 though, I'm sure some people will disagree with me.

Kinda depends where you're playing as well.
I'm sure a pissed up wedding dj won't go down too well, but I've seen many wasted dj's and done it myself and never had any problems.

It's like bartenders...some drink while they're working, others don't.

I've bought a lot of bartenders a lot of drinks over the years, and I've never heard anyone claim that drinking with customers wasn't a part of their job.

Drinking too much is unprofessional.

Still...how hard is it to just not get wasted? Getting drunk in clubs in Atlanta is more expensive than going to a strip club.

it looks like most people find it unprofessional. cracking open some beers at home is ok. its rum and egg nog season to.

You meant bourbon, right?

I agree.

I think bourbon is rum? I think Atlanta is in bourbon country. I am in Vancouver BC
