Bar drinking Tips from your friendly Bartender!

1. Normal amount of liquor in OKC strip clubs that have the attractive dancers are around 1 oz. In regular OK bars it averages around 1 1/2 oz and the average for everywhere else is around 2 oz. 
2. Alcohol dehydrates you, so yes, while water is important to put back into your body if you do it while drunk or hungover you are rehydrating the alcohol still in your system, so making it more likely to get the spins and puking.
3. A cold soda will actually help make your head feel less intoxicated than coffee or water. The carbonation gets you burping out the alcohol and really will make your head feel more clear.
4. No matter what you drink or eat when being drunk nothing but time actually makes you sober. 
5. If you chill your liquor  by shaking with ice, your cup will need a little more room than before to go back into your glass. 
6. You can freeze fruits like grapes, strawberries, and orange pieces to use as ice to keep your drinks cold and not get watered down.
7. Tipping per round instead of waiting at the end, especially when paying with cash is a good way to ensure you are checked on more frequently by your server which is a helpful hint when at a crowded bar. 
8. It is not only against most club rules but is also illegal to take photos inside a strip club, even if you are just trying to take pictures of your buddies. You need to remember and be respectful that not all or probably even half of dancers tell their friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, or family members that stripping is how they pay their bills. Most will tell others they are waitresses or bartenders.
9. Strippers are not made to wear "pasties" to just "cover" their nipples. This is enforced legally in most areas because women's nipples can excrete a clear fluid so the pores must be sealed to keep any "passing of bodily fluids" between patrons and dancers, which is illegal. Just like a dancer can get a prostitution charge in Oklahoma for removing their shoes when on their shift.
10. Finally, bartenders, especially ones without a free pour system are taught to crush and cram ice into the glasses so when they pour liquor first it is the part that has less room in the cup thereby filling the cup more and using less juices or soda as the filler. It's not done to be mean or to try to gyp the customer out of a full drink. It also explains why a lot of times your alcohol will all be sitting in the bottom of your glass. Just like a bartender who cuts off someone who is noticeably drunk they could be held accountable if that person goes out and gets into a wreck drunk driving and be fined a very hefty amount like up to $500 dollars in the places I worked and could also lose their liquor license which would cost them their lively hood, not just trying to damper your good time. 
                     Remembering whatever tips fits for your drinking style may just help you have a better time out next time you go out drinking. Have fun just don't forget the people waiting on you are at work, so treat them as you would like to be treated while at your place of business. ;)
