When I was a student there was a pub that was always heaving because you could get smashed on less than a tenner on horrible spirits. The gents toilets there was genuinely horrendous, very drunk people combined with questionable plumbing meant there was usually a half inch or so of stale piss pooled on the uneven floor by around midnight. Literally if I think about it I can still smell it, it was fucking rancid but nowhere else could you get a quad vodbull for £4 so we put up with it.
That exact smell must permeate all of these people's houses. Unless they're taking the piss I guess.
There was a college nightclub near me years ago known for cheap drinks. After decades they closed down and sold the building. When the new owners renovated the place, they had to dig up the concrete underneath because decades of piss getting into cracks in the foundation basically crystalized and created a health hazard.
I had real, deep fear about where that story was going.
