I randomly thought about this, looking for an answer. Meant to ask my friends but always forgot.
Whenever I go down to the states and visit bars, there is ice in the urinals. They dont do this in Alaska. Is there some regional difference here? You're not supposed to dispose of ice in sinks in CA? Is it considered classy to make sure your customers' pee is ice cold bfore it gets flushed into the sewers? Just wondering if there's a reason why they do that. |

I have never seen this pratice. Enlighten me please as to what you are speaking of. I go to the urinal, and there are sometimes the urinal patties, but never seen any ice. I would think if it were a disposal thing you would use the toilet, or just throw it outside and let it melt.
|
|
I know. But all the bars in SF I went to had freaking ice cubes in the urinal. WHY?
|
|
When you urinate - you melt the ice - drunk people find this amusing and tend to piss in the urinal instead of the floor or wall.
PSYOPS. |

He was just joking. Who is tempted to piss on the walls unless there's ice they can watch melt under their stream? That's the dumbest thing I've heard of. Most likely explanation is that it's just a place to dump ice from consumed drinks, but why dont they use the sink?

I've gotta tell ya . . . in all of my years, I have NEVER seen ice in a urinal.

The only place I've seen this done was the infamous (now awpsaiyo), "Starz" club here in Tongduchon, Korea (For those of you who have been there. Yes, it is no more. Sept 11th and Prostitution scandals have changed this town quite a bit).
When you pile ice in a sink, you have to waste hot water to get rid of it (assuming you have hot water coming from the tap). If you stor beer bottles on ice, you often dispose of large quantities of ice at a time. Troughs and urinals have greater capacity without limiting their primary use. Yes, drunks are amused when they get to melt the ice. Yes, drunks at Starz were the type to be tempted to piss on floors, walls, etc. unless they could be otherwise amused. |

the bar i worked at we would dump it in so the dumb people that didnt flush it wouldnt stink up the place. as the ice mealts it washes out the piss .

Aviator View Quote I think the trough at Starz had constantly trickling water - though no doubt the ice did help a lot - especially at peak times. In terms of smell avoidance, it seems more effective and cheaper than the urinal cakes. C'mon Alaska - you are behind the times! |
|
Behind the times and how. An environmentalist said in disgust "Alaska is a great place to go if you want to know how people in the 19th century thought!"
Dumb SOB didnt realize that was a compliment. But the auto-flush function sounds reasonable. Thanks, I couldn't have figured it out on my own. |
|
I thought that's where you got extra ice for your drink, you mean those are urinals?
I think I'm gonna be sick. McBalming |

I'm suggesting to my management that we start putting ice in the urinals... I still just want to pee on ice to see it melt... what great entertainment for a drunk!

This is common practice at several of the Chinese food restaurants that I frequent. I thought it was just a Chinese thing. Never seen it in a bar.
|
|
Shouldn’t the drinker have a choice anymore?
Strait up or Piss on the rocks, shaken not stirred? [:D] THISISME |
|
thats not ice. its frozen piss cubes. are they yellowish in color? when the temperature drops, that tends to happen in places like AK and such.
|
|
It is for me to cool off my dick, and too keep it out of the piss water. That or to keep the smell down. You gwt 1000 drunk people pissing and not flushing it tends to start to stink. The ice will lower the temp of your wiz also reducing the temperature and preventing the warm steaming pee cloud from floating around. You know what i am talking about- when you eat somthing that affects your wiz smell-sugar crisp cereal seems to do it for me...

I about froze my pee pee off in a Brownsville, Texas Ice House 2 years ago running into this practice. I complained to the bartender, but she just Laughed [shrug] |
|
What are these "urinal cakes" you guys are talking about? The only thing I've seen are those disgusting tasting breath mints that are to big to fit in my mouth.
|
|
Ice and limes in the piss trench were common practice at the places I have been in Latin America.

Everytime I get to enjoy a big bowl of Super Golden Crisp, I get the pleasant aroma again when I pee. My wife even noticed it one time! She got a good laugh out of that! Aspharagus does it for some folks. |

I've only seen this in beer bars. I thought ice was put there to cool the urine before it was recycled and sold as draft beer. I only drink out of a can or bottle.
Shootist |

Smell....ice keep the bacteria level down..
cheaper than those big mints |
|
drunk or not, i never flush (engineer) and routinely piss all over the public/restaurant/bar urinals and toilets to help motivate the people that clean them to get a better job.......

Someone said it, it keeps the smell down. You'll notice that bars that do this trick don't have a pee smelling problem.

We do it out here. If we have a party at a hall in the winter time, we dump the ice in the pisser to prevent more ice forming outside by the walkways but the other reason is because the mens pisser used in most halls don't have toilet bowls for urininating only defecating. They have this long, shaped kind like a half sausage for peeing.
