Best is if you don't drink at all. I don't touch alcohol after 22. Not a sip even during wedding dinner. And you don't need to find any excuse for not drinking.

FYI Night life was banned in March2020 and reopened in Apr2022. Of course it made sense that there was a spike by 500% from 2021 to 2022.

I work as a dj and i drink everyday, i just feel people should have some self control and discipline and know your tolerance, ive seen lots of asshole too, so just know your limit and u be safe.

We appreciate conversations like this. We look forward to seeing more episodes like this somehow.

Bruh the only reason there is a spike is because club are close last year. 2022 has the same number of cases as 2019

Bugis 🛍🛍🛍🛍 yay!! Chanel = Jamie 🤮 I wonder do clubs have cctvs to verify molestation incidents plus we haven't count those unreported cases that didn't make it to the statistics. Overall I don't drink cuz I prefer to be sober at all times. Hahas.

15:20 That's why I never get drunk. Cos I drink very very slowly, on purpose, to avoid getting drunk.

19:50 Where does the urge to film incidents come from? I've never ever felt the urge to reach for my phone and start filming whenever I see an incident, whether it's a fight or fire or someone helping another person or whatever. Could it be a generational thing? Or an individual thing like for eg, maybe being very attached to one's phone and their apps, or being very addicted to social media, or being nosy etc?

Great topic guys!

@9:08 Wow with unsubstantiated anecdotes stated as facts, Raeesah Khan will have PTSD flashbacks and Shamugan will ask you which case so that they can investigate thoroughly.

as a person who typically drives friends home one by one after having a blast at night, i really recommend not doing so as it is extremely dangerous. there was this one time i was seeing 3 silhouettes of the parking booths, in which there was only 1 parkings booths, and booth is where you pay for the parking fee before exiting the clubbing area, and i almost ram straight through the booth and the operator inside due to me driving towards that fake silhouette generated by the alcohol. but thankfully no incidents happened so far. so please drink responsibly if you are driving y'all

[@itsclarityco]

Oh noooo 😰😰😰 We hope you've been taking cabs home since then! Don't drink & drive ya 😤
