The Dangers of Being a Drunk Cam Girl
Alcohol can help cam models relax for a show. However, if they drink alcohol regularly, it can be detrimental to their health and business. Drinking in front of the camera can make viewers expect you to be drinking, which can make it difficult to draw or make tokens.
1. Can I drink on camcam?
While drinking on cam is not against the terms of service for most major webcam sites, it’s important to remember that alcohol can have serious consequences for your performance. It’s easy to rely on alcohol to loosen you up on camera or to make tokens. This can lead to you losing your edge and getting banned.
It’s against the ToS for you to perform on camera if you’re under influence of alcohol or illegal substances. Although it may seem like an undefined area, the effects from excessive alcohol consumption can be clearly seen on cam. This can result in vomiting and passing out. Both of these are explicitly against ToS.
Ronny, a TikTok user, posted a video in which he dropped off a young girl at her front doorstep after she had a few drinks. While some viewers have taken issue with his behavior, many are praising him for being so gentle and respectful with the young girl.
2. Should I drink on camcam?
A little liquid confidence will certainly help you feel more confident before the camera. However, too much alcohol can work against you in your role as a cammodel. If you start to rely heavily on alcohol to loosen up, other members will begin to expect this and may stop visiting you unless you drink. Plus, if your ToS are violated and you vomit or pass-out on camera, you could face significant penalties. So, before you start slinging non-vodka vodka shots, think about the implications for your business. Then decide whether it’s really worth the risk.
4. How do I stop drinking on cam?
Alcohol is a major part of our social lives, and culture in general. It’s how we unwind, celebrate holidays and birthdays, and connect with our friends. If drinking is your way of coping with anxiety or hanging out, it’s difficult to stop.
Getting help from a support group or therapist may help. Talk to your friend or partner about excessive drinking in a supportive, non-judgmental way. Avoid talking first thing in the morning or while they’re still under the influence. They may become defensive or dismiss your concern. Be patient and try to find ways to spend time with them where drinking isn’t a major part of the activity.
If you suffer from cam anxiety, you should stick to water and non-alcoholic drinks on cam. Drinking too much alcohol can dehydrate you, which can negatively affect your performance or even cause a hangover. Set a water target for yourself, and track how many drinks you consume in a certain timeframe. Be sure to also hydrate away from the camera. Tell your family and friends that you’re cutting back on drinking or stopping altogether so they know not to give you alcohol.
