Fun at Brix

[Ebauche]

I doubt this 1001%. There is no crime in Singapore.

There most assuredly is crime in Singapore. Just at far lower rates than experienced elsewhere. And compared to the USA, essentially non-violent. But, there is theft, assault, drug & contraband trafficking, even [CodeWord123]. I've personally witnessed contraband trafficking and assault in Geylang.

But staff spiking drinks in decent establishments? No fucking way.

[United1]

Unfortunately, that isn't entirely true. I live in Singapore and have some acquaintances in Singapore's finest (the police). There have been several reported cases of drink spiking in bars in Clarke Quay, and in 3 cases the wait staff was found to be involved. I am not saying its rampant, but that sort of stuff has started happening in Singapore off late.

I doubt this 1001%. There is no crime in Singapore. And don't try to tell me there is, coming from any other country in the West. If your drink gets spiked, you should take a photo with it and put on Instagram, because you just experienced a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Attempted crime in Singapore.

Not trying to start a e-discussion fight here, but don't want anyone to suggest that there is anything remotely dangerous in Singapore. I can't imagine ANY wait staff or hooker wanting to jeopardize their employment pass or short-term visit pass to commit a crime in Singapore.

SGers of Singapore Police will try to argue that there is a lot of crime in Singapore. Because one person in the country got their handbag stolen (for the first time in 2 years) and it was front page on the national newspaper. Try coming to USA / Europe where people are violently mugged on an minute basis.

This is absolutely true and correct. With just the tiniest bit of effort you can find much better looking Viets in their home country who will literally lick your ass hole, blow you, and fuck you for $15. But guys who go to Brix usually don't care about that. They're not on a budget, and they're looking for easy action next to their hotel while on business. That's fine, but let's not exaggerate and pretend the place is overflowing with supermodels. What you are getting is mainly hardcore and desperate women on short time visa exemptions who want to extract as much money they can out of you in the least amount of time.

I flew into Singapore for a day trip last Friday to meet up with my buddies there. Spent a night drinking and enjoying the live band at Ipanema. There were many great looking Viet girls there and I felt that some of them were even better than those you would find at Brix. Too bad I had to pass the temptation since I did not have a hotel room that night as I had to fly out early the next morning.

Brix is still way overrated and way overpriced.

Like you I very much doubt any bar in Singapore would be involved in spiking a drink but that doesn't mean the girls wouldn't do it. However, if they had then surely they would have gone on to rob the guys as otherwise there's no point in it. Another option might be that another drinker did it for fun, just to mess withthe two guys.

The moral of the story is never leave your drink unguarded.

Thanks GG and Blanqui.

I agree with you yet would only one of us have no recollection, I would have said fine: those things happen.

It was a Friday. So closing time is 4 am and I'm trying hard to remember (sometimes images comes after a few days): no memory at all for me and the buddy recalls only the two girls with him in the cab.

However, he lost his keys to his apartment that night. Go figure. And he also has a bottle of liquor on his credit card bill yet no memory at all of this episode.

I had 400 $ in the pocket and all were gone but that's what I usually spend on drinks on a good night out. So, no, I don't consider having lost anything.

I absolutely agree with you guys that this is very much unlikely even in the most seedy bars of SG.

BTW, we took 2 h to drink the five bottled beers.

Thanks again to all. I'll keep you posted if anything comes back.

Stay safe and have fun!

AC.

No such experiences anywhere in Singapore. Not even in the shadiest of places one can think of, let alone Brix.

I have a question for you. Brix closes at 3 am. Thursday to Saturday at 4 am. You say you and your friend hailed taxis around 5 am / 5. 30 am. See where I am going? 1 to 2 hours is a lot of time at that hour of the day. If you can recount what happened in that space of time, maybe your question will be answered.

GG has already done the scientific explanation which is entire plausible.

[Mondeoman]

Yes, anything is possible in China. But Singapore? It is a really far stretch of imagination. Here, if there is single complaint about spurious alcohol, the place will be shuttered and a full investigation will be conducted before the bar owners are even asked for an explanation. Bar owners are extremely careful about what they serve. More so in a place like Brix which has business and reputation to protect.

This happened to me in Ningbo China in 2010 and is why I don't drink liquor in China anymore. I was at a bar I went to all the time and was talking to a friend of mine. I was drinking Jack and coke and remember the bartender opening a new bottle to fix me a drink with and that the drink did not taste right. The next thing I remember is waking up in my apartment. Went back the next evening and talked to the bar owner who was a friend of mine and told her what happened. It was then that I found out that fake liquor is a problem in China and it still is to this day. Last year stories started coming out about fake liquor in Mexico. So not a stretch to believe it could be in Singapore now. The problem is that the fake liquor is slipped into the supply chain and the bar owners are not aware of it unless someone complains. China is expert at coping packaging so you can't look at the bottle and tell.

Brix is routine disappointment even with high price tag of 500-700 $. Add 35 $ entry fee and expensive drinks. I recently tried eurogirsl-singapore and found them to be good and perhaps best option if you are into russian girls. Usual rate is 300/1 HR and 450/2 HR. I usually do outcall for 500 $/2 HR. If anyone has better options in Singapore kindly share.

Brix is still way overrated and way overpriced in my view and you may not even get a better experience. I usually have better luck at Ipanema but YMMV. However, your choice will be limited to mostly Pinays and Viet girls there. Another option is to book girls out from KTV though they are not cheap either and the KTV experience may not suit you. The laksaboy forum is another site you can use for outcall but it has been a while since I have used any from there.

Here's what I recall:

- decided to head to Brix at 11 pm (I was with a buddy and we were having a few beers. Bottles and not tap beers. We drank 5 beers each and we were not tipsy).

- I was drinking G&Ts and dancing in front of the band.

- when I woke up (home), no memory at all of the evening: I had to check my phone to realise that I took a grab at 5.30 am somewhere around Orchard road.

Same thing for the friend accompanying me:

- no memory at all of the night besides when we were having beers and decided to check Brix.

- he however remembers that he was in a cab with two girls around 5 am who actually invited themselves in the cab and its the taxi driver who helped him get them out.

Thought I would see what choices might be available based on Robinsmart's post, but find today that "This domain name has bee seized through Operation Our Sites-Project TransAtlantic VIII".

I am used to drink and party all night and my buddy is a healthy 30 year old athletic guy who works out almost everyday.

We both concluded that its impossible that both of us have no memory at all of what happened and believe something was inserted in our drinks. And it took 2.5 days to recover from this evening.

We definitely were not drunk when we arrived and even if we got drunk pissed afterwards, we would have at least remembered the first few hours.

Anybody had similar experiences?

Ok, let's review what you wrote: 5 beers (usually they are 330 ML bottles) and gin and tonics (unknown amount). Well for alcohol, your body can metabolize it (remove it from the blood) only at a maximum rate. When the amount of alcohol in your body exceeds how fast you can get it out of your body, your blood level increases dramatically, and your body cannot get it out of the body any faster (trust me, this is my area of expertise). So perhaps you had alcohol toxicity (which by the way can kill healthy people, this happens often at Frat parties where guys drink an excessive amount in a short time period). In general, you body can get rid of the equivalent of one 240 ML bottle of beer, 1 glass of wine or one shot of liquor per hour. If you exceed this amount, you get drunk of course, and for sure, people do develop some tolerance and take more alcohol to get drunk.

When you zap your brain with alcohol toxicity (which this sounds like) its takes some time for it to recover. Sadly part of my job is to treat people that abuse alcohol so I think I can speak to this issue.

As for your friend. Working out has NOTHING to do with tolerance to alcohol. You didn't say you had anything stolen from you, the point of drugging someone is to either rob them or take advantage of them.

I doubt if you were in Brix in SG that anyone slipped anything into your drink. Illegal drugs are available in SG, but the kind of people that get them most likely don't hang around at Brix. You do know that the point of Brix is to find pretty girls, not get drunk out of your mind hahahahaha.

Anyway, my 2 cents.

[Flyboy 2000]

I am wondering, whether these ladies also would make appointments during the day. I would prefer. And for them it should be kind of extra money. Has anybody made such arrangements successfully before?

Indeed they do daytime work, especially afternoons, and for them it's definitely extra money with far less competition and for the guy it can often be a much nicer experience too.

Here is a tactic I picked up from a punter here and have used myself from time to time, especially when my flight into SIN arrives in the evening and I want to re-orient myself to SIN and scope out Brix but probably will be too tired to get my money's worth or am just too tired anyway. Visit Brix, check out the talent and if you end up finding one you like, let her know you just flew in and are very tired but would like to meet up with her tomorrow afternoon or the next day, and get her mobile number. For the lady this is turning what might otherwise be 'dead' time into earning time, without the hassle of Brix, the competition and perhaps the need to perhaps return to Brix after a ST session to try and get one more customer for the night.

Do you put your drink out of sight? I haven't been there a lot but if it would happen to many I think there would be more talk about it. Memory lapse can be caused by mixing alcohol but if your used to drinking it is very uncommon unless higher amount of quantity. You talk about 5 beers but even if bottle sometimes they can pack a punch. Chang before export was like that.
