Recently I took on some extra work for a little extra cash to feed both my wine loving habits and my irrational trip planning (a.k.a. buying tickets to places on a whim, then wondering how I'm going to pay for the trip.) What did I do? Started doing some wine promotions, the best perk- free liquor to try out before you do the selling. Which got me thinking, what other jobs are there in the liquor industry.....??? Well here it is, winos, lushes, alchies UNITE.

COCKTAIL WAITRESS
I think a lot of women have had to do this job at some point in their lives, notice I say “have to” since I would never voluntarily do it again. Though, if you make friends with the bartenders, they’ll usually make YOU a drink while you’re working….I’m just sayin’. It is a tough job though, learn to run your ass around FAST while carrying trays of drinks (Cosmo’s are the hardest to carry, they spill everywhere) and having drunk people holler at you.

From ghostbar on the 55th floor to Rain Las Vegas just off the casino, the Palms is the hotel for the MTV generation - so much so that the 12th season of MTV's "The Real World" was shot at the resort, and now hotel guests can stay in the 2,900-square-foot suite created for the show's cast.
The resort today is the home of Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown" and is a Vegas playground for music celebrities and Hollywood stars, with specialty suites offering extra-large furniture for the hotel's many NBA guests, and two luxury Playpen suites (complete with stripper poles) that attract not only bachelor and bachelorette parties but also A-list celebrities.
The Palms offers some of the best nightlife in town, beginning with ghostbar. Its open-air deck offers amazing 180-degree views of the Vegas Strip. Fifty-five stories below, the 1,500-seat, state-of-the-art nightclub and showroom venue Rain Las Vegas has a line of fun-loving partygoers every weekend.
The resort's dining options are equally extraordinary, from Alize, where diners can enjoy floor-to-ceiling views as well as gourmet meals, to Little Buddha, with its crimson, gold and celadon decorations and giant Buddha statue.
If you're looking to relax, the Palms features a 20,000-square-foot spa boasting numerous services. Outside, the pool provides a welcome reprieve from the Vegas heat with multiple pools, including two designed just for shallow lounging.
If indoor fun is more your style, check out the 14-theater Brendan Theatres complex or stop by Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company, the only tattoo parlor in a Vegas hotel.
Finally, the Palms is also constructing the new 40-story Fantasy Tower. Many standard guest rooms are already open, as well as a series of fantasy suites. From the mammoth and lush Celebrity Suite to the ultra-hip g Suite, the Palm's Fantasy Suites turn a regular vacation into one fit for a Vegas high-roller. Other luxury options include the hip hop-laden Crib Suite, the bachelorette party-friendly Hot Pink Suite and the Erotic Suite.
Also now open! The Playboy Club with its own casino, new restaurant Nove Italiano, and a new nightclub called Moon, with a retractable roof!The new tower also houses a state-of-the-art recording studio and a floor of meeting space. The masterpiece of the Fantasy Tower will be the six Sky Villas, which will each offer an outdoor pool overlooking The Strip. When completed, the Fantasy Tower will definitely live up to its name, and, like the rest of the Palms, make you feel like a celebrity.
Hotel guests now receive free passes to nightclubs! - 2 Passes per room. * Ghost Bar - Complimentary admission is good for "You + 1 guest - SUNDAY THRU THURSDAY." Line Pass is not included. * Rain - Complimentary Admission is good for "You + 1 guest - FRIDAYS ONLY." * Playboy Club - Line Passes for "You + 1 guest - SUNDAY THRU THURSDAY." * Moon - Line Passes for "You + 1 guest - THURSDAY & SUNDAY." * Guest must show room key with Pass to redeem.

more »Napa County is a county located north of the San Francisco Bay Area in the U.S. state of California. As of 2000 the population is 124,279. The county seat is Napa.
Napa County, once the producer of many different crops is known today for its wine industry, rising in the 1960s to the first rank of wine regions with France and Italy. The combination of natural beauty, pleasant Mediterranean climate, and proximity to San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento has made it into one of the United States' most desirable areas in which to live. However, its citizens are famous for their resistance to suburban development, with the result that 33 of California's 58 counties--including many that are far from major urban areas--are more populous. The relative poverty of the city of Napa, which houses most of the Latino migrant workers who tend and harvest the county's vineyards, produces a significant downward bias on its apparent wealth: estates in the county, particularly those with views of San Pablo Bay, have been known to sell for nearly ten million dollars.
The Napa wine country was the inspiration for the fictional Tuscany Valley on the nighttime soap opera Falcon Crest.

SALES!
There’s nothing better than selling something that you’re passionate about;
Sales consultants are responsible for sales to on-premise and off-premise accounts in existing territories. You’re basically responsible for buttering up people enough to buy a whole sh*tload of liquor….
These guys aren’t messing around- their brands include; Guinness, Baileys, Cuervo, Tanqueray, Captin Morgan, Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker and J&B

BECOME A BARTENDER
What’s a bartender??? Oh yeah, that chick/dude that was responsible for getting you completely hammered the other weekend while chatting you up, listening to your problems and pouring one shot too many. Nice folks.
Bartenders have to be able to hold a conversation with people, regulars and set an atmosphere in the bar or restaurant, not to mention- they need to know how to make a TON of drinks, and FAST no to mention the glassware, garnishes, etc. etc.

Oooh smart idea. I might have to do this!
BECOME A SOMMELIER
“The legs blah blah blah, full bodied, blah blah blah……” No, he isn’t talking about a woman. He is talking about wine though ;)
What’s a sommelier??
is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, commonly working in fine restaurants, who specializes in all aspects of wine service. The role is more specialized and informed than that of a wine waiter.
Their principal work of a sommelier is in the area of wine procurement, storage, wine cellar rotation, and provide expert advice to customers.1
A sommelier may also be responsible for the development of wine lists,1 and for the delivery of wine service and training for the other restaurant staff. Working along with the culinary team, they pair and suggest wines that will best complement each particular food menu item. This entails the necessity for a deep knowledge of how food and wine, beer, spirits and other beverages work in harmony. Though sommelier is a a job title potentially anyone may claim, becoming a certified sommelier requires classes and an examination.

I would highly enjoy being a sommelier. But I don’t think I have enough patience. I want to drink and enjoy and not over-analyze!

Keepin' it CLASSY: BE A SHOT GIRL
Really, it’s not that deep, you sell shots while half naked- you make money. Most likely you get pretty toasted in the process as well, seeing as men will want to buy YOU shots.

Keepin’ it classy. You forgot to mention for all the girls out there thinking of becoming a shot girl, the added benefit of having drunken douchebags take shots from between your breasts.
