Comment on Why do most comedians have different drinks to drink? Most have water, Ricky usually has beer, some have whiskey and such. I get the lights make them thirst. But why not all water or something?

It’s an old bar trick to serve the performers the drinks the house wants to sell to everyone else — except what they really serve them is water or colored water.

This is also done after the set, where if someone buys them a drink, the house gives them water and charges the person for the drink, and the performer gets a cut of the money.

That way, the performer can accept as many drinks as are offered without being unable to perform their next set.
