Coconut water also does the trick . . . so many alternatives
Or just have a glass of wine for dinner every now and then or a Pernod on a Sunday sunny afternoon.
Yea, when you can get alcohol in a majority-Muslim country but not in Thailand . . .
Every time I see the stuff it looks more and more like...
...
I am down to my last bottle of wine and ran out of beer a while ago. However, the exigencies of capitalism and its pressures have led to a supply line opening up for beer so all is not lost.
As I understand it May 1st could see an end to this stupid alcohol prohibition.
I have one bottle of wine left that I brought back with me from Enz Zud.
It was highly recommended and is apparently very good -- though pearls before swine and all that -- and came with a price tag to match so I was saving it for a special occasion.
Today is Friday. A day ending in 'Y'. I think that qualifies as 'special'.
I spent three months drinking that while bumming around the Langeudoc-Roussillon region. Easiest way to spend a few hours doing nothing very much except tippling more water from my petit carafe into the glass, stretching it out, and lighting up another Gitanes.
France still had open pissoirs in the town squares, Berger advertisements were plastered all over the side of tenement terraces in most villes, mosquitoes were everywhere, a modest three course meal in a Les Routiers restaurant could be had for 10f nouveau and a bottle of wine for 3f, and the roads were mostly deserted in the heat of a Mediterranean summer's afternoon except for the whine of the odd passing 2cv.
Happy days.
Drinking it without a French cigarette would be unthinkable.
Is that pineapple in there?
Pernod, ouzo, raki(sp) and their ilk are meant for chasing down belly loads of beer when you drink yourself sober
Had to look that stuff up
Pernod is an anise-flavored liqueur from France, which lends a licorice-y flavor to whatever it's added to. It has a particular afffinity with seafood dishes. Classically used in bouillabaisse and oysters Rockefeller, it's also delicious added to mussel-cooking liquid and cream sauces for fish.
Sounds awful....
^ ^you need a gardener/ handeeman like Mendy
If you drink enough of it, you will get drunk again the next day just by drinking water.
No shit....
pernod drink.water next day drunk.again - Google-haku
Pernot.? *shiver". Similar to Cy, I drank it in the 80's and now associate it with "Exorcist" style projectile-vomiting.. Ditto cheapo Greek "aperitif" Ouzo. Two things that should never go together in my book; alcohol and fucking aniseed.
On a brighter note, got a couple of the local Mom n Pop shops discretely punting out tins of beer on the QT. -Stupid, arbitary laws making criminals out of us all..
I had a bottle like that, a Grange Hermitage; lost it in a move. I still cry when I think about the local movers drinking it mixed with red buill
Is delicious and to be drunk on daily basis in Albania. With coffee in the morning, with beer in the afternoon and with dinner in the evenings.
sounds good to me
Warning: Be cautious if you are a fragile pink
We just collected a box of Singha for B1200 from a very iffy unknown man.
We arrived and were quickly told to reverse our car 200 meters into the single lane backend alley next to a slum type apartment and to leave the trunk unlocked but down. The middleman that we half know was present but keeping watch from a distance. The roasting hot box of beer was in a bin bag, it was quickly put into the trunk in silence from the iffy unknown man before he immediately stepped back into the surroundings, his eyes never leaving us, we made our way back through the alley and left without being arrested.
We've never bought commercial quantities of heroin or amphetamines, but don't think the experience would be much different.
