If people listened to experts we would all have died ages ago. There is almost nothing that some expert here or there has said is not good for you. Coconut oil , broccoli , eggs .... the list is almost endless. What should we do ...starve ourselves to death ? Life is for living and you are a long time dead. I am usually moderate in most things but sometimes I just have to let rip to see if I can still be a 61 year old teenager. Of course I can't but not ready yet to give up trying. I agree. Take any rat, from anywhere in the world, sink it in 6 feet of any known liquid, and when the rat dies, all of the sudden the liquid is labelled toxic, if not harmful to humankind. Buddha had it right; anything should be consumed in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting review, started in 2012. I could probably list - if I could be bothered - hundreds of world-wide scientific reviews since 2016 when this review was reported that would dispute these findings and update everyone. Unfortunately, this one that you've mentioned was probably financed by the medical fraternity who want you to keep on buying their drugs and supported by a government who didn't want the NHS to collapse if everyone started drinking to excess - it was a frightener, nothing else. Regrettably, it's all about politics nowadays. Otherwise I am in accord with your post. Nutrition is not an exact science. And we are all individuals with different DNA. what could suit one could be toxic to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a newer brand with a white label and screw top which is odorless. I am a sangsom drinker but never noticed the Lao khao with the white label you mention, only seen the blue, green and pink labels, do you have a picture of the bottle ?

fishtank Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Kurov Vodka with Schweppes ginger ale. I just realised how many calories are in the Schweppes so am going to try it with sugar free coke or sugar free Sprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Samuba on Ice. It tastes best if you wait a few moments to make sure it's really cold. The coffee bean is optional. Personally I only have that with the hot Sambuca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned that I reside in the sticks. No transportation available, except maybe once a week to Korat. Since arriving 2 weeks ago, I have run out of Jim Beam and Jack Daniels (which I brought with me). The latter can be bought for $40+ (ouch!) at Big C. Still remaining in my inventory is two, maybe three, shots of Fireball, which I must periodically 'have' while drinking Thai light beer such as Leo.

Neither Sprite nor Coke are free from 'sugar' because they replace that with artificial sweeteners, which are more toxic than sugar. Beware the hype and read the label. in fact, anything with a label on it is 'processed' and unhealthy. Coca Cola and Pepsi are USA mega-rich companies that would stop at nothing to pollute their drinks with additives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeteners (Aspartame, Acesulfame K) - look them up. god, the number of posters on here that haven't a clue that Pepsi and Coke in whatever shape or form are toxic drinks....

Gumballl Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Ah carp, I am sobering up. Leo is the great rehydrator (yes, I am making up my own words). Btw, the Thai-style calamari, and fried shrimp my wife has just made for me had no effect on my state of being. It just makes me thirstier. To alleviate my symptoms, I will need to soon tap a new bottle of rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
