OT: Beer Larceny

[CaptBeefheart]

T Rav: You will either be saddened, or gladdened, to know that soju has been dumbed down over the years. Most of that swill is about 17-18% ABV nowadays. Still the cheapest buzz in country, though.

Rustysi: The worst hangover I've experienced, what I would call a ".45 hangover" (meaning if you had a .45 in your nightstand, you'd use it on yourself), came after a night of drinking soju in a pojangmacha (one of those orange soju tents) followed by copious quantities of dongdongju consumed from a wooden vessel.

Back to the topic: My missus thinks taking a bath with some beer in the water is good for the skin. That would be a good use for Coors Slight.

Cheers,

Why, because it's acidic?

Same thing could be had by using apple cider vinegar and you'll smell better when you come out [;)]

No idea on why, but I've learned when to fight battles. My main objective is to keep my good stuff intact. If a tallboy of cheap German beer ends up in the bath, so be it.

Excellent advice [;)][:D]

While I respect the PBR hangover, too much Soju in 1982 Korea resulted in an ice-pick through the top of my skull for the whole next day.

And there is Carlsbad "Elephant Beer" which I sampled (rather significant sampling I'm afraid) back in '69. An ice pick in the skull may have felt quite nice the next morning. Instead I arose early the next morning to serve as a messcook when we put to sea. While the whole crew slept practically all day I got to suji the various fixtures of the mess deck. I will never forget that hangover or fully remember the night before.

It's Carlsberg. I too know the pain.

24 proof if I remember correctly. Fortunately I didn't drink enough of it for a hangover. Pretty good if I recall (but 1977 was a VERY long time ago).

Not in my day. Mokkoli was 40 won a bowl. Yeah, they served it up in a small wooden bowl. Official exchange was 480-1. So it was an cheap and easy drunk, normally reserved for end of the month.
