Two things about drinking that are rather iconic.  Its more fun to drink "other peoples" booze and "other mother's" milk.

When drinking at home I like a cocktail or cold glass of chardonnay on a hot day. When out in a restaurant maybe a gin and tonic or a vodka collins with a meal. When occasionally drinking in the province at local get- togethers with family and friends, I hate Emperador, so choose hardcore Tanduay 65 straight or with coke or RC Cola. When drinking with a group make sure that you pour your own drinks or be in charge of pouring everyone else's. That way you can pace yourself and nobody can keep pouring your drinks just to see what happens. My husband isn't much of a drinker, so he keeps an eye on me at a party. I can hold my own though.

Shame on you, fancy attacking a national icon, XXXX is better than mothers milk, shame, ha ha

If you say, if you say so mate 😂😂😂. I do have to admit that i had quite a few Emu Exports in WA (Western Australia not Washington) haha. The boss was a big fan of them and had a cooler full of them for "a few after work" in hes ute (truck for you yanks). Im not a person that spits into a glass. So whats my favorite beer? A FREE ONE.

Lets just say that after those couple free Emu's i moved onto better brews at home. God i miss a Fat Yak Pale Ale... The only "Aussie" beer we have here is Fosters (didnt find ONE buy in 5 stats of Australia that had it in stock haha).

Reminding myself to never challenge Queenie during a "drinking session"......he, he.  Hey gurl, remember your college days in Rhode Island -- Narragansett Beer?

Hi Jake--some have tried but have yet to succeed! Filipinos here in the province seem rather "cheap dates" and are not so good at holding their liquor I've found!

Boy you know my old place so well--you never fail to surprise me! It's nice to share that.
