Drinking in the Philippines and the risks?

[Nickleback99]

Tend to drink San Mig Light, along with occasional Tanduay or Emp. Light when down there.   I usually will bring a bottle of JD, Crown or Absolut to share with family, and of course that's "gone" in one sitting no matter the bottle size or the booze.    Up here on Okinawa, it's usually Orion or Asahi draft and the Okinawan sake "Awamori", particularly when we're out with the Japanese cops and counterparts. which can be good or be  like lighter fluid, depending on distillery....the only sake I've ever seen mixed w/ water on rocks to tame it for many.  My last rubber leg and rubber flap lips where they're moving, but not sure what language they're making was a such a night of all you can drink Orion and (good) Awamori, which was immediately regretted the next work morning.  As my boss said, "Don't try to keep up with them.  They're Professionals!"  Good times!

Lot of places in Japan have 2-3 hour, one fee all you can drink booze and eat appetizer type servings....Now that can be a real "danger zone".

Been known to drink until it run out of my eyes, XXXX drinker but not allowed to drink it now in Australia, my wife said I can drink XXXX as much as I want when I get over there, is there a catch in her words ?

Well I have never seen 4x over here,maybe that is the catch.

The main danger to drinking here as I see it, is you get DRUNK as anywhere else,  Like most places we are always in the s...t but the depth varies

Agree. San Mig wins any ways and is a hell of a lot cheaper.

Cheers, Steve.

Drinking in the Philippines and the risks?

I think we all know the risks of getting too drunk in the Ph, getting blurry vision, stumbling for the door, and then falling victim to a very bad case of misidentification....

Hmm.....I hope you did a "hard" reboot and cleared your ram.  

My experience drinking with the locals is I'm usually the one picking up the tab.  After a while, I said no thanks to their "invitation" and was promptly labeled a bakla.  I guess in their eyes, I didn't appreciate the GRO's or the pretty waitresses.  

I directly told them (Judy's cousins) that I can no longer afford the drinking sessions, the pulutan (finger food) and morning after hangovers.  They eventually understood me and my budget even though I had a dollar account.  I was then labeled a kuripot (stingy).  

As a good Filipino-American would say, my response was -- pak you and the carabao you rode in on.

Stingy is high praise much to be aspired to!
