For those living in a village..How much do you drink??

[chitown]

How much do you drink??

8 to 10 bottles of water a day.

[sabang]

I drink less here in Isaan than I did in Pattaya.

Remains true, but I'm going native with it- I do most of my drinking in the bladdy morning these days.

[StrontiumDog]

I drink twice a week, in the big mango or out of town. Never been someone who can drink everyday. I begin to feel really shit after 2 or 3 days of drinking. No idea why but I feel sluggish and unable to function. However, when I drink, I am the proverbial fish.

[Takeovers]

However, when I drink, I am the proverbial fish.

I don't know if I should envy you for that. When I drink I just get depressed and tired which is worse for all the jolly people around me. So I limit it to a beer with lunch or dinner. Never managed to get lifted up by alcohol.

[StrontiumDog]

Yeah, it's strange how drink affects people differently. Some get aggressive, some get down, I am a happy drunk. It gives me a major buzz, tons of energy and a total lack of care to everything.

If it wasn't for the fact that I can't stand to drink again for several days after, I'd say I'm perfect alcoholic material.

[helge]

After 2 month of the sweet life, I have gone on the Wagon for a week. My body simply doesn't agree with my intake, and lack of exersize/work.
No Brandy accompagnying the 3 mugs of morning coffee.
Cut the 10+ beers a day down to zero, and ciggies cut by 3/4.
And I'm feeling better and looking forward to a Christmas Eve, back on the Leo

[DaffyDuck]

Why do you guys feel that you need to drink at all?

[helge]

Because of the Wife ?

[DaffyDuck]

Because of the Wife ?

Why not :

- get her drunk instead? Once she passes out, enjoy yourself
- not get married to begin with?

If your existence is based on inebriation and rendering yourself unconscious, then what's the point of living?

marry a wife who you can enjoy doing things with as an uneducated peasant sex worker loses it's attraction after hearing for the 1,000th time 'you no good'.

[StrontiumDog]

Why do you guys feel that you need to drink at all?

I'd explained...

It gives me a huge buzz, lots of energy and a happy go lucky, can't care or think about anything, love life and everything and everyone, type of feeling. What's not to like?

[ferretface]

when i lived in korat 4 years ago i used to guzzle 10 chiangs a day.then i found a place that sold tiger draught....heaven.when im in the uk,which is 90percent of my time,im teetotal.i only drink when im in thailand,makes my stay more tolerable.like the line in the movie whiskey galore...the grass was greener,the sky more blue,life in tody was bearable again.

Man I'd hate to think what my grog consumption was in Thailand. Sure several people around here encountered me mid bender and shit I hardly remember. My last 5 years I had a duty free grog entitlement associated with my visa which included about 60 * 1 litre bottles of whiskey + 120 * bottles of wine + too many boxes of imported beers a year. I still drink every day but try to keep it around 8-10 cans a beer a night after work. Looking at the average punter back in Australia I think I'm doing ok, lots of mates are doing a box of beer a day.

Crickey ! Half your luck.....

[Jeremia]

Interesting to visit on old thread initially refering to my old drinking problems in the village...Now when I am at home I have one bottle of beer at lunch and 2 bottles at night..but not that Leo shite..


Whilst I am away...2 to 3 bottles of wine a night!!!

[nigelandjan]

we was at home in Issan for a month in Feb this year and all I drank was 7up + the black coke label mixed from 7/11 ,,,,,,,,mind you got collared to buy boxes of Chang ( I think ) for the family ,, they normally phone some guy up ,, he turns up ,, and yes ,you know who pays . Got offered ,looked like some home made spirits ,, the smell made me retch ,, so no I am quite happy with the coke + 7up mix ,, cant see me changing tack in a couple of years time when Im there full time ,, ( however time will tell ) cheeeeeeeeeeeeers !

[sabang]

I'm drinking less now than when I lived in Pattaya and Hong Kong. Went 2.5 days without a drink recently, I can't remember the last time that happened.

Generally, I don't like drinking in the heat of the day so much. Early morning or evening works. An early morning beer breakfast at a local shop is quite a pleasant start, but if I have a couple of beers for brekkie I don't normally bother with a beer in the evening. In Pattaya I'd quite often sit down and have 4-5 large Leo, although my record was 11. I sat down and drank five Leo here once, at our local 'forest shop'. They still talk about it now.

I don't know if my new modest drinking habit is because of the rural lifestyle, or just because i'm not getting any younger. Not complaining though.

[matchless51]

Thankyou gentlemen, i've been pondering this question about my own habits of late, seems i only drink when i'm sober, can get through a bottle of vodka in 2 days and 4-5 large beers when i fell like a drink as well, noticed i've been getting a bit nasty (for good reason of course) so been drinking privately, thanks again, it's bit of a wake up.

Less bad influences there? In Pattaya you were a lot more likely to have a friend pass by and stay for a beer or two.

Saying that, I've been promising a trip down your way for over a year now. It'll happen one day!

[mingmong]

me drink in the Village 2>3 times a week,{3-5 big Leos} in Oz on the ship I had 1 beer in 5 weeks! feel much better to drink at home and compare the Price in Oz!!!!

Awesome - glad I am doing my part in contributing to the culling, via cirrhosis, of the population from miserable fucks like yourself.

Interesting delusion -- I get the same experience and feeling every single day, without a drop of booze. Only thing more worrisome is that you imply that without the booze, you have none of that.

marry a wife who you can enjoy doing things with as an uneducated peasant sex worker loses it's attraction after hearing for the 1,000th time 'you no good'.

Seems quite a few guys don't quite clue in to that tiny bit of wisdom....

[Nawty]

Daffney....cue :angelic music and icon:.....then the :cocksucker: icon.


I don't drink either.

daffney is on a natural high.....he should learn to fart less.

[jamescollister]

I live in a village, 135 km to the nearest farang bar and drink beer almost ever night, as I am doing right now. TV is crap and except for the wife no one speaks English for at least 20 km. So as the sun sets and the family settle down to watch soap[ la con] I crack a cold one or two. Thats life in rural Issan.
