"My thoughts are that people at swingers clubs are generally more sensible with alcohol than your local revellers/lager louts. There's always much less trouble at swinger clubs than regular bars. Also, if this is the club that I'm thinking it is, I know that they are incredibly safe, well run and responsible enough to know when enough is enough." You will also find the bar staff can still "cut you off" for a while if they deem you to becoming intoxicated as you cannot/able to give clear consent. I think you'll find the "all inclusives" are still very well managed | |||

"Seen a club doing an all inclusive alcohol drinks bar for NYE. Personally I am avoiding this as likely to see more people who are "d*unk" trying to get their monies worth! Personally I do not think swinging and being d*unk don't mix What's the collectives thoughts? " There's a big drinking culture amongst many swingers unfortunately. We go on club nights where people take their own drinks and drink spirits like water. You'll get dr@nk people at most club nights, but you can avoid these people and mix with those who don't drink too much. | |||

"We have had an all inclusive bar every New Year eve since we opened five years ago and never with any major issues and it's always a full house so I think that talks for itself We have already done four other all inclusive bars this year at our big events like Halloween & Willy Wonka at Easter & again all with no issues and massive successful nights with record glowing reviews on fab everytime xxx" Well thats good to hear, reviews i have learnt to take with a pinch of salt as rarely do you see an avoid. The overall cost is 50% higher than a "normal" ticket , how does yours vary in cost for an all inclusive drinks v a normal night? | |||

"Sadly, many people can't swing without at least some alcohol, or "Dutch courage". I personally prefer to keep my wits about me and stick to soft drinks only. And avoid anyone who is d*unk. " Most of the time when we go to a club I will be driving, so I won't be drinking at all. Neither of us ever drink a lot, but it's nice to have a few drinks occasionally. We certainly won't be intoxicated though. Cal | |||

It's new years eve my friend and if we didn't have a free bar it would actually be £40 a couple so we are only £15 more expensive at £55 on a new years eve with a free bar and buffet and open until 4pm. That only £7.50 each as a couple for your drinks all night! If its wasn't New years eve entry would be £30 entry, with a free bar £45 again only £15 more a couple in fact on the Saturday 30th we are doing a free bar for £45 as well like the New years eve but thats £55. Everyone's entitled to there own opions and views but unless you have attended one of our all inclusive event then you can't really comment on how we run and manage these events and welcome to go a club that doesn't serve alcohol or serve your own back to you on a new years eve lol | |||

"The best clubs ie Fun4two and Fata Morgana in Holland have always been all inclusive food and drink with your entrance fee. We've never seen anyone falling around d*unk there." Thank you, it's all about how you manage the club, bar and people in the club xx | |||

"We would agree that out and out dr*nkenness is less common in clubs than in vanilla venues. That said a minority will indulge heavily and we always avoid them - intoxication is a major turnoff for us. " Totally agree but with bring your own or a free bar the same people will always unfortunately try and drink to much but just like in any other bar or club it's our job to make judgement calls on when to cut people off at the bar or suggest some water which I think we are very good at doing xxx | |||

" What different clubs charge to get in is not our concern and we are only focused on ourselves and our pricing. You clearly start this thread talking and complaining about all inclusive bars on new years eve, NOT the cost of entry into the clubs. Then moved on to complaining that these club's are more expensive, which we replied too and pointed out our pricing on New years eve at Club Play in Blackpool with an all inclusive bar. We would say if you have a problem with all inclusive clubs on new years eve or pricing of entry into any club ever just don't go. In anycase whatever, we hope you have a very merry rest of your Christmas and a happy New year xxx | |||

"I've rarely if ever seen people d*unk in a club but suspect the chances would be higher with an all inclusive bar, but a well run club with good staff would be able to manage the small number that may get carried away. I always drink far less at a club than I might on a vanilla night out. And the prices that have been quoted on here in my honest opinion represent unbelievably great value for a New Year's Eve party so everyone enjoy and have a great time." Consider some city centre pubs, entirely vanilla, also charge an entry fee for NYE and over £6 a pint for beer and over £4 for a , for a swingers club to have an all-inclusive bar at the price stated. Well, speaks for itself. | |||

I never complained about any all inclusive clubs I just said it wasnt for me and asked what other thought. I have no complaints over what clubs charge, they set their own prices we all have a choice as to where we wish to go, some would say you get what you pay for. But paying a high end price doesn't always get you a fun night, free alcohol or not! One thing i have certainly learnt from this thread, is its not all about the venue or the attendees but the attitude of club owners as well!! | |||

The scariest tend to be single females who when they are d*unk I avoid like the plague. I would say the least problematic are single males as they are policed more fervently than anyone else and are usually removed before they get that d*unk at all. | |||

"It's great to hear variety and special occasions help to keep a place lively. On a busy night, you will have dozens of people who will not be drinking or under the influence to a great extent. Club Play is one of the better managed clubs and you won't find problems " That scenario is very creepy. Half the people sober. Other half d*unk. There’s something predatory about it. Which is why I think clubs should be sober places | |||

No one saying that they had to pay lots more than normal. It was great value for everyone | |||

Personally I do not think swinging and being d*unk don't mix What's the collectives thoughts? " Avoiding because of this makes you uncomfortable? Fair enough you dont want to go anywhere you feel uncomfortable, I get that. But also maybe more fool you if it was actually a club and/or party you wanted to visit. Drinky swingers will drink anyways. If it wasn't an all inclusive bar people would still bring or purchase the amount of alcohol they want anyways. I really don't see it creating a real difference. However from a club point of veiw when the club is going to be packed for NYE it makes things so much easier than having to constantly operate the till or tally up 100s of bar bills at the end (depending how the bar normally operates). I do get the sense that some people on here look down on swingers who like a drink. They tend to like to virtue signal to others their superior position. But some of us (us two included) like few a drinks in a club. We are adults after all. | |||

" Well if you think it's a superior position then you're entitled to your opinion, but for me it's just a preference not to be in a heavy drinking environment. I don't enjoy being d*unk, and if you want to avoid trouble on a night out the best tactic is to avoid d*unk people. Obviously not all d*unk people cause trouble, but pretty much all troublemakers are d*unk. | |||
