Hence,
they served soft drinks. The group I was with (I seem to recall it was a
bachelor party) guzzled down heavily iced (and I suspect watered-down) soda
pop. It may well have been diet. It was definitely flat.
CERTAINLY
NOT ANYTHING that would have provided the “manly” image we’d like to think we
were projecting that night.
I
actually do recall one of my colleagues making a public comment to complain
about the lack of liquor on the premises.
However,
we had engaged in other activities prior to entering the strip club, all of
which involved alcoholic beverage consumption. Which is why when one of the
strip club staff snapped back, “You guys look like you don’t need another
drink,” we had to laugh.
It
was true.
SOMEHOW,
I CAN’T help but think that response to us is one that many strip club patrons
in Chicago need to hear, particularly since city officials are; considering
lightening up their opposition to liquor licenses being issued to businesses
where the female staff expose their nipples to the public for show.
Some
let you bring your own liquor, while others follow the lead of that strip club
I was in all those years ago (seriously, once you’ve seen one, there really isn’t
much point to making repeat appearances; it’s not like you’re allowed to “touch”
the merchandise, unless you’re willing to risk the wrath of the bouncer).

Ninth
Ward Alderman Anthony Beale says he’s willing to issue liquor licenses to such
clubs because he thinks the potential for problems on the premises is worse if
people bring their own liquor.
Who
knows exactly what they’re bringing with them? And he says he’s aware of
instances where people brought gallons of alcoholic beverages with them to
consume while they leered (and ONLY leered) at the overly-tattooed ladies.
CHEAP
HOOCH, AND easy women. Not a nice combination.
Whereas
if you let the clubs sell drinks, they’re going to have to comply with the regulations
that come with a liquor license. Plus, they’re going to be serving people
watered-down drinks at ridiculously-absurd prices.
You
may wind up paying more than the $9 or so that one has to cough up for a beer
at the ballpark.
Which
is another place where it seems some people think it is a part of the
atmosphere to consume alcohol.
I
HAVE TO wonder how many people managed to endure the capacity crowd on Friday
of Chicago White Sox Opening Day by getting as ripped as their wallets would
let them.
How
much beer wound up being consumed within U.S. Cellular Field? Was it a
combination of the white of beer foam and snow, along with the chill of the
temperatures of the air and the beer that resulted in some parts of the crowd
to start getting all rowdy that day?

Will
at least some of those people wait anxiously for the day this week when the
City Council takes up the strip club liquor license issue? Will Mayor Rahm
Emanuel feel compelled to get involved – although I can’t help but believe the
mayor’s sarcastic praise last week for aldermen being able to find the time to
research the strip club issue was somehow right on the mark.
Personally,
I’m not going to be impacted by whatever the council chooses to do. I’m not a
strip club regular; I can find enough places where I can’t touch the women on
the premises without having to pay for the experience. Having a drink isn’t
going to make it feel any less tawdry to me!
