Drunk Tank

Be warned: Polish beer and vodka are rocket fuel, and have been the ruin of more than a few good men. If you plan on making a prat of yourself make sure it is not in front of a policeman. A trip to Warsaw’s premier drunk tank will set you back 250zł and you will be detained for approximately 12 hours while you sober up. Credit cards not accepted. In return for your cash expect a set of blue pyjamas, a full strip search, coffee mugs that stink of urine and the company of mad vagrants. As tempting as it may seem, do not resist arrest. Those doing so will find themselves strapped to a bed in the style of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’, sedated and in some cases beaten with truncheons. Accept you have been a naughty person and behave.
