Dance Floor

Hi there again

Following on from a conversation that I had with someone at the weekend ....

Many of you reader folk out there may know that I have a hatred of people who drink on the dance floor. Yes, I can understand the whole argument about not leaving your drink unattended in case someone spikes it, but do the ladies leave their handbags lying on seats unattended? Course they do!

When I ask folk not to drink on the dance floor, I am not doing it through spite. Nightclubs dont let you do it, and here`s a few reasons I have come up with and seen.

1) You get bumped while dancing and spill your drink. It either lands on your nice sparkly top you bought for the evening, or lands on the floor making the dance floor a paddling pool.
2) Guys who are drunk and get their pint spilled switch from having a laugh to having a fight very quickly.
3) Assume you drop the glass and it breaks, at the start of the night. Its never really all swept away - just as much as they can see in the dark. Later on, when drunk, females remove shoes and dance. I`m sure you can think the rest through.
4) Packed dance floor - girl takes drink from bottle of Bacardi Breezer etc. At that moment, she is nudged and either swallows more of the bottle than she wants, or it breaks up in her mouth and carange ensues
5) End of night - Loch Lomond on. Crowd go mental, alcohol goes everywhere. See Number 2 on the list for the outcome.
6) You cant dance with a female properly with one hand can you :)
7) You look a tosser bouncing around to the music with your pint dribbing all over your arm.
8) Your top cost more than a drink. Dont ruin it
9) Lots of DJ`s who work in pubs now work close to the dance floor. Last thing we need is some drunk person coming up and spilling alcohol all over our equipment, which usually costs a lot of money.

I could go on and on with loads of reasons. Maybe in the cold light of soberness, people may read this and realise that stewards who tell you no drinking arent doint it for kicks - its to save them from hauling you out a fight.
