Five dollar lady drinks?

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

True of many substances, Simon.
Nicotine is the most addictive. And any smoker will tell you they worked hard to get hooked as kids. The moral panic and misinformation is staggering. But when you've billions to spend on marketing any message. Its going to stick.
Post operative patients are often on synthetics many times more powerful than heroin. Yet they go home and never crave it.
Alcoholism is accepted as being in the person. Not the bottle. Addiction is the same animal. Alcoholism is drug addiction. Same same NOT different. the world has been sold a crock of shit to fit some arseholes control agenda.

I've never smoked as much as I have since I've been here. In fact I'm thinking about having patches sent over here or at least switching to vaping.

Most people being given high strength pain relief by medical services (as my sister is at present) will be given a staged detox if they've been using them for a significant amount of time.

tbh there are some bars that say on the menu that a lady drink is the same price as a normal mixer drink + $1 (the ladys tip) which usually means around $4.50..
but if i do actually buy a lady drink i only buy them if they are a reasonable price, $3.50/$4 i dont have a problem with
Im not a complete curmudgeon , yet. I'm quite happy to buy a lass round for round - and bar food if she's good company. In a lot of Thai bars, after the tedious 'what your name - where your flom?" They're just whining constantly for a drink, with NO alcohol, or a 'sniff' of it. While I don't wish cirrhosis on my female company,
I don't like bar girls taking me for a chump either.

A standard ladydrink is Coke, Sprite or fruit juice, with 10-15ml of alcohol in it. By comparison a customer's drink has 50ml of alcohol in it.
A customer can also buy a girl a 'premium' ladydrink, if she requests it AND the customer agrees to it. This premium ladydrink will have a full 50ml of alcohol in it if it's a spirit drink and will usually cost the price of the same customer drink plus $1.
Or it may be say a bottle of Heineken when it will be the customer price plus $1.
Some customers want the girl to drink vodka, tequila, or B52 shots (50ml). Again these are usually customer price plus $1, so they cost $4-$5.
The important thing is that the girl must ask the customer if she can have a premium ladydrink, so he is aware of the extra cost involved. Or if it is the customer requesting that the girl drink a full strength drink, she should tell him that it costs more.
Unfortunately this process doesn't always happen in some hostess bars, understandably leading to customer dissatisfaction. The menus in many PP hostess bars are also not very clear on all this, often just saying 'ladydrinks $3.50' which can catch out the customer if the girl doesn't explain any extra costs for premium ladydrinks.

I've heard they're $40 for a weeks supply, granted, I haven't checked it myself. Never tried champix. Any good?

Good point Jamie mate. A decent vape would help. Anyone know if I can find one anywhere?

E-cigarettes were banned early 2014. Prior to that I think there were several places selling them.
However, I did notice a tuk-tuk driver smoking one last weekend.
