When I was in Hamburg, at a restaurant with some of the folks I was working with, one of them mentioned that the restaurant, since it had a bar, had a “vomitorium” for those who overindulged.
I took him at his word and did not check it out.
The Playboy club in Tokyo had a private sink with a stainless steel basket so that the attendant could recover and wash your dentures, allowing you to rejoin the party without losing face.
I’ve actually seen one if these in a (german) frat house.
Another one was rumored to have a tiled bar with a drain running below the bar stools to make it easier to clean. Also the members didn’t need to move between drinks…
Also the real Oktoberfest in Munich actually has a “vomit hill” (“Kotzhügel”) where some go to take a rest and … empty their stomachs. Or even sleep (“beer corpse”) till they’re ready for the next round.
Remember, a “Maß” is a liter (nearly a quart or 33 fl oz) and the beer there has more than 6% alcohol content by volume and is brewed to be easily drinkable…
