The Alphabet of Photoblogging is an A-Z 26 day long series about what to look for when doing nightlife photography and what to do to get your photo taken. For the rest of the alphabet and more info click here.

Alcoholics make the world go around, at least the night life world go around.  Parties on Tuesday’s just wouldn’t be the same without kids who get drunk every night of the week.  Now, in all honesty I have seen a lot of bad shit in my life because of alcohol and have dealt with a lot of serious drunks in my life.  Watching people close to me go through bouts with booze is the #1 reason that I don’t drink.  All that aside, the drunker people get the more fun the party is and the better photos I get.  So I guess what I am saying here is drink as much as possible unless you are close to me, in which case I wish you would cut back a little…  One thing to be careful about is photographing really drunk people naked or doing dumb things.  You don’t want people to wake up the next morning pissed off at you for taking advantage of them.  If I take nudes of someone that I think is pretty drunk I try to get contact info from them and don’t post anything until I get a sober okay from them.  I also have a policy of taking things down any time someone asks, and they ask all the time.  You never want to fuck up someone’s life because they got drunk, but in the same respect, if you are afraid you are going to do something to fuck up your life while you are drunk, maybe you shouldn’t get drunk.  I’ll take down your photos and you take some responsibility for your actions.  Sorry to preach.
