draft beer

[phycokiller]

anyone know whats in the cheap draft beer? I can get drunk on vodka, or have a few cans of beer with no problem, but one glass of that draft during a meal and I cant sleep and have a hangover the next day. I dont think theres much alcohol in it, maybe 3% and I only have a glass, its some other ingredient in it

I really don't know, but after 10 draught Changs I tend to get a bit PSYCHO!

Two large ones works wonders for my aching back. I wake up in the morning twinge-free.

Do I really need to explain? Go on someone, tell him.

Interesting, however draught beers, such as Angkor, Anchor, Cambodia and ABC (black) stout, do not have any adverse effect on me and at around 75 US cents (24 baht) per glass, or cheaper, are very palatable and acceptable. There are three main breweries in Cambodia, Cambrew (Sihanoukville), 50% owned by Carlsberg, Cambodia Brewery (Kandal), 50% owned by Heineken and Khmer Brewery (Phnom Penh), 100% Cambodian owned.

Formaldehyde/formalin; it's an anti fungal preservative

no one else gets it either, in fact your conversation is very similar to the guy i mentioned that was wondering around the restaurant saying random things to people. woof woof

yeah, I think that might be it. seems to be mostly used in china and reading of people getting bad hangovers from one glass of beer there

it tasted surprisingly good and was probably only 50c a glass. I havent had a problem with canned beer

I was merely pointing out that you spelled PSYCHO in your name incorrectly.

No, it's the S which is missing, and the H in the wrong place. Were you by any chance imbibing some of that cheap draught beer when you registered back in 2013.

One could always re-register with a correctly spelt username and forget Mr Phycokiller.   LOL

In Thailand Draft beer is dirty. Is mixed with slops. Runs through dirty lines and pumps. To be avoided at all costs.

[metempsychotic]

Given past experiences as a bartender and cleaning oft neglected draft lines, I don't drink draft beer in many places.

Just a thought (from previous experience as a bar person), draught beers are supplied by lines from the keg (or barrel) to the tap. These lines have to be kept clean and a chemical solution is used. Maybe some of the chemical was left in the line when re-connected and not thoroughly washed through..

You bet! I'd go psycho if I had to stay there for longer than a few days.

Back in the '80s that's what people said was in Singha beer.  It was famous for giving one a headache.  The safer beers to drink were Kloster and Amarit.  

The biggest problem with Amarit was if you ordered it in a coffee shop or such, chances were decent you'd get an omelette instead of a beer.  I saw it happen more than once.  TIT

always much preferred sato but my memory of those years is rather hazy, I actually find it difficult to get drunk on beer, I was merely having a glass as an appetizer to my meal and wasnt expecting to have a hangover the next day

good point. do you happen to know what chemicals they use?

Yes and from UK experience, a mixture of caustic and chlorinating chemicals are used. Typically Sodium Hydroxide (caustic soda) or Potassium Hydroxide with Sodium Hypochlorite. Therefore it is essential to thoroughly wash the lines with clean water afterwards before re-connecting to the keg or barrel.
