Booze

Sober And Sold-Out: Dance Club In Sweden Cuts Booze For A Night

Breathalyzers were placed in the doorway of a nightclub in Stockholm with an unusual purpose: to ensure no guests had been drinking alcohol. It was all part of a plan for a booze-free night out called Sober, where staff were also on the lookout for anyone who seemed to be on drugs.

The plan for a club in a hip Stockholm neighborhood to host a monthly alcohol-free night created a buzz, if you will, when it was announced by comedian MÃ¥rten Andersson last month.

And it seems to have been a hit, with nearly 900 people packing the sold-out venue to hear DJs on two separate dance floors and sip boozeless cocktails, faux beer and sham Champagne.

The crowd was much more diverse than you get at most club nights, with curious teenagers joining former alcoholics in their fifties, clean-living yogis and breastfeeding mothers in their thirties. I guess more people thought they could get along better without a lot of drunks.


On the Mainland where they had been accustomed to making their money on booze, many are changing and adding a juice bar and the sales of snacks. In Hawaii it would be perfect for the hundreds of juices already made here. And the easy sales of chopstick food, where you do not have to touch the food. That plus a good cover charge and all you need is the customers.

Pub's Side Note: It is slowly forming all by itself, a new dance force on Oahu, for Truth, Inclusion and Innovation and made "of the dancers, by the dancers and for the dancers." All the dancers? Of course not, they do not all wish to be involved and we must respect.
