IT smells like teen spirits - not to mention, beer and other alcohol. That is the smell of vomit on inner city streets around Clarke Quay and Mohamed Sultan Road, the result of drunk young revellers throwing up while out on the town.

Fed-up residents are kicking up a stink over the vomit, empty bottles of vodka and beer cans left by tanked-up youngsters that they face on the way to work in the morning.

Not only that, the hapless residents say they are kept awake in the early morning by noise from the rowdy crowds.

The uncivilised behaviour by these clubbers aged from around 18 to 25 is tarnishing the image of the upscale residential enclaves, say the apartment-dwellers, who pay at least $4,500 in rent a month.

Manager Jamey Unruh, 31, who has been living at Fraser Place Robertson Walk serviced apartments in Mohamed Sultan Road for a month, says: 'This is a nice residential area and something should be done to control these people on the streets.'

Mr Unruh, along with other residents living at Mohamed Sultan Road, are seething and losing sleep over the young clubbers who are drawn to cheap booze sold at dbl-0 and O Bar clubs, located within the same Fraser Place building as the residents.

At dbl-0, glasses and jugs of housepour spirits and draft beer go for $3 and $12 each respectively from Wednesdays to Saturdays. Elsewhere, a glass usually costs at least $9 and a jug, from $30.

The boozy youths also tank up on discount drinks at a 7-Eleven store located opposite the clubs, grouse residents.

Bar operators elsewhere also say that these teens are bad for business because they try to smuggle in cheap booze.

Indeed, Ms Shalynn Pillay, 30, a translator who has been living for two years at another condominium in the area, Oleanas Residences in Kim Yam Road, observes: 'I see them mixing the alcohol purchased from the nearby 7-Eleven into mineral water bottles before returning to the clubs.'
