Alcohol intake living in Thailand.

[toront500]

Guys

For everyone living in Thailand. Do you drink alcohol every day/night ?

What time do you start.
What do you drink.
How much do you drink.
Do you drink alone.

My booze habit every day for a long time started at 5pm, 4/5 Changs and then 4/5 red wines or SangSom cokes. Some nights my wife would have a few drinks. For 2 weeks now I am only drinking on Sat and Sun when watching the football.

Me no drinks ka...

Do you drink alcohol every day/night ?

Nope.

Aside from some very rare bouts/evenings of binge-drinking I have a shandy every Sunday evening. Actually it's more like 3/4 lemonade 1/4 beer.

[Deckwan]

Occasional blowout....trying to make it a rare event these days.

[birding]

Zero, been that way for many years.

[barrylad66]

Once a month, maybe 3/4 ช้าง

[baldrick]

it depends - some days I will not drink , some days it will be a couple of beers or a couple of whisky's and some days it will be an inelegant sufficiency

When I finally caught up with Abraham Trahearne, he was drinking beer with an alcoholic bulldog named Fireball Roberts in a ramshackle joint just outside Sonoma, California, drinking the heart right out of a fine spring afternoon

Functional alcoholic, wet season, drink most days, start at sundown, dry season, more money and go away on weekends with the wife and kids, work on the farm, dry Monday to Friday.

Drink alone as I am the only farang out here, may start early today, celebration.

You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning

[Nicethaiza]

Come to drinks with me...

[forreachingme]

A shot or two imperador light rhum some evenings, with the cigar.

Some time the bottle if some pinoys here.

Beer, 3 cases for 3 the other day, but seldom

Whine when i get hand on a good red in a box of 5 ltrs, a glass or 3 ...

Some weeks water, lemon and honey.

[klong toey]

No sir not me i don't drink alcohol.

[AntRobertson]

Feck! Drink!

[somtamslap]

Biblical amounts.

I mean there was lau khao in the Listerine bottle.

In an evening starting around 4 the first of 10 Leo are opened, then after finishing them around 9.30 it's time to mount the Honda Wave and head into Pattaya to finish the evening off at a Bar with Seekingasylum, then we crash out on the beach to sleep.

[kmart]

Occasional weekend binges. Decent-ish beer or vodka only.

[somtamslap]

As for drinking alone. How on earth is one supposed to enjoy a decent ya-dong buzz in the company of other people?

You keep that shit to yourself.

[sabang]

I usually have 2-3 bottles of beer in the morning at a local shop, starting at 6.30-7.00.
If I 'binge it' (4 or 5 bottles), I usually skip my regular sundown drink, another 2-3 bottles.
I prefer not to drink in the heat of the day. Actually, when it's too damn hot I drink a bit less.

Sounds rather desperate, Jimbo.
You only allow yourself to drink with "fellow" Farang?
Sad....that you consider this social extension the only viable option.


You should try and adapt a gathering of drinking with Thai guys in the surrounding area.....always a hoot. Or, sometimes not.

Situations will vary, of course.

I wonder who gets to buy the drinks

Doesn't that put you in the frame of mind to get stuck in for the entire day?

You'd be surprised.....[as per to your already wrongly founded perspective].

[Kurgen]

If I took up Lao Kow drinking would join AA the next day.
Can't stomach the stuff.
