That seems a bit strange not to have alcohol? Usually just having soft drinks indicates using amphetamines was given the nod and wink, and an accepted part of the clubs function. All night dancing needs all night artificial stimulation.
A girl I knew who told me about her experiences there said a lot of girls were in tears the morning after after taking speed all night, they also used barbiturates to come down off the amphetamines.
