Why don't thai women drink?

[traveler]

Thai women don't drink??? Guess you lot ain't been to Pattaya, most of the women there are fookin alcoholics.

I am not talking about bargirls or anything associated with them (Xbargirls,etc.).

I am talking about your average thai lady that holds on to traditional values.

I think the poster is having a laugh

I am assuming you are referring to me? Of course, I am It's interesting to read everyone's take on this.

So this is the kind of question I need to ask to get people to respond!....LOL

Seriously though, I was always curious about this, and have always assumed it was a buddhist thing, so I left it at that.

Yeah must be having a lend , my girl goes pretty hard at it. Often we smash a Tower + , but mind you she is allot more shabby than me for it the next morning, and don't think about mixing em' Ooark!! Had to run her the bubble bath hang over cure this morning as matter fact !!

[S Landreth]

The missus just feels sick after half a beer.

My girlfriend also (gets sick),….just a sip of a beer and she starts getting red blotches on her face. Maybe alcohol poisoning?

But she has told me she used to drink while in college.

That's a strange place for a piss up mate!

[britmaveric]

Fk wish I'd met one of those - known a few thai birds 40kg that somehow can drink an irishmen under the table.

[Loy Toy]

Our ladies did a pretty good job last night. It was me & Loy Toy who could hardly stand at the end of the night.

Yes and it was my missus who picked me up and when I went sliding down Kao San Road on my arse! and she was up at 7.30 this morning to take the kids out to the Issarn fair at Sirikit.

Ladies - Drink
My experience

Chinese - go red and fall over after a couple
Thai - Not often but when they do start arguing
Indian - Drink most of us under the table ( right E.G. ?)
South American - Two pisco sours and they are dancing naked on the bar !!
Black( not racist but to define the area )Africa dangerous with a gallon of pomba down their necks.
Med- Greeks- Italians - Spanish etc - A bottle of "vino collapso " and they are up to anything ( as long as you don't mind their aunt watching you like a bloody hawk ! )

That's probably more to do with the company she has to keep, fair play to her though for being able to stomach half a beer.

[jizzybloke]

JBird can put some drink away every now and again and never has a hangover either

[Propagator]

Mine can put aaway a fair amount, but usually has the hangover from hell the next day. Time for me then to go out on a drive and come back in the evening.

Let me explain,..she lived in a dorm. So the way it was explained to me was that every now and then the girls would gather in one room,…put a blanket down on the floor,…get a couple buckets of Sam Tam (sp?), sticky rice and beer,…….drink, eat and giggle.

[phuketbound]

I know some Thai friends that can drink.
It all depends on the person really.


Do Thai woman smoke in public?
Korean women do not. It is shunned upon in this culture, and so is drinking. Although, the drinking thing has changed over the years, and you see it more and more.

[JoGeAr]

Mrs JoGeAr and I have been together for almost twelve years and I've seen her drunk less than ten times. Which is a good thing because every time she gets drunk it's a river of tears. Everybody hates her, nobody loves her, the whole world is against her. And the only time I've seen her smoke is when she's drunk. Well, if you call piddle-puffing whilst coughing and hacking smoking. She can get extremely friendly as well. Then she passes out.

with large hands and feet, deep voice. Then have the Irishmans wallet away?

[paranha]

I dunno about cultural or habit or what else.

I do know that my missus only some time drinks som well watered whiskey sangsom.

I did trick her once to share a tequila or two with me. I saw that one hitting and after she got crazy with me because I fooled her to drink that rocket fuel. She promptly put down a ban for me on the tequila :-|

Yes but they need top be pissed so they can shag the ugly fat foks that get around there.

Good, Because in 1952 they were drinking way to much and I thought that they should put a cap on it then and stop swearing and cussing each other,, glad to hear that they have quit.

[Whiteshiva]

They probably look at their menfolk and think "I sure as hell don't want to be like them!"

So Marmers, I take it all your lady friends have turned into teetotalers after the first date....?

I guess that would depend on whether they want to have sex with him or not.

[Travelmate]

They drink.......

[good2bhappy]

some do some don't

[Rural Surin]

Women don't drink?

Hah - tell that to my wife. She's from Surin and could drink most men under the table if she puts her mind to it.

[robuzo]

When I first saw the thread I honestly misread it as "Why don't Thai women think?" I was all set with snarky post. . .as to the drinking, the majority of Thais like other Asian people lack an enzyme necessary to breaking down alcohol; that is why about 2/3 of them get flushed after only a single drink and vomit if they persist. The share of the population that does possess the enzyme has no problem. The Thai women who don't drink to excess are probably for the most part the ones who, like my wife, know their limitations.
