Are you guys sober while working?

Personally I cannot be sober if the visit is longer than an hour. Having a couple drinks before a visit makes the anxiety, nervousness immediately go away. I’m MUCH more nicer, playful, and flirty with a couple drinks. I’m more loose and confident. It doesn’t feel like work when I’m a bit buzzed. It also depends on certain clients. Some clients I can be sober and some I have to have a drink or 2. My friend told me if you have to drink to work then you shouldn’t be working in this industry. Is she right? Like entertaining somebody you don’t find attractive or don’t really like for hours sober seems miserable in my opinion. I also had talked with a couple of dancers that work in the club and they all said it’s “part of the job”. But is it really? Also I only drink during “night visits” I don’t drink during the day. But also I don’t really see clients during the day.

Edit: thanks everybody for the advice but I’m NOT leaving this career whatsoever. I realized I just need to be discipline to not drink that often. I never even tried to stop. It just became a routine. I make too much money to just quit and love being my own boss. Just gotta quit a bad habit.
