The irony is, that in texas, if a club does not serve alcohol, it is legal to bring in your own. They can still charge $2 for a glass of ice, and they will. In fact, it will be just one less license requirement, and make it easier for them to operate. The whole thing would probably backfire. The same thing was attempted in the 80's with pool halls and arcades. They haven't gone anywhere (although some were cleaned up considerably).

Strayhorn was adamant in her call for legislation barring alcohol at "sexually oriented nightclubs."

"If these clubs can stay in business selling lemonade and iced tea, at least I will feel better about the safety of the dancers," she said. "Alcohol can make the meek violent, the quiet loud and the passive aggressive. People can and do get hurt in these clubs."

Carol-what-ever-her-last-name-is wants to BAN alcohol period. Patrons cannot bring alcohol into the clubs under her proposed legislation. This woman needs to be put out to pasture.
