Speibecken
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Speibecken or Kotzbecken is a basin for people to vomit into. These sinks are installed in some bars, restaurants and student fraternities in German-speaking countries[1][2] as well as in bars in Vietnam.[3]
The Speibecken is often a large ceramic bowl installed at waist height with handles for the user to hold onto and a shower head to flush the unit.[1] They are encountered more often in men's facilities than in women's.
In Germany and Austria they have become associated with the heavy drinking traditions of student fraternities.[2][4] They have also been provided at supervised injection sites for drug users.[5]
