Sorry but I'm skeptical. Not buying it..and don't think you are either. Would you please be so kind as to inform where you are still buying the extinct Chang Export? This one. Thanks. ????

Led Lolly Yellow Lolly Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Worst hangover of my life was a 6.9 Changover, back in my Surin days. Awful, awful experience. 2

Yes, the old Chang Beer 6.9% but there was never any consistancy, one bottle could be 6.9 the next 12%. Sometimes it was like drinking a bottle of wine. 1

Vintage? There is loads of out of date Thai beer around currently.

tomster Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Try Budweiser from 7/11. I drank Leo for about 12 years then recently had the same issues as the OP. Got bought a can of Bud by a mate, poured it into a cold glass and haven't looked back since. Tastes SO much better than Leo, costs 10 Baht or so a can more (brewed in Vietnam) and 4 x 500ml cans over the evening when drinking result in almost zero hangover. Drink the same amount of leo and can't sleep, wake up feeling rough as a badgers ass. I don't know what they put in Leo/Chang etc but it has to be able to withstand 30 degree heat for up to a year whilst siting in warehouses etc - there is no way they are not adding some chemicals to make that possible. 2

Very nice drop with a malt flavour, but jesus wept does it get my stomach going the next day, unlike regular Chang or Leo. I'll be brave though, and persevere. Leo no 8 extra good

If it was a couple its an issue, if it was 10-20 then its juts a hangover, get over it , it was self induced. These days for me , 3 tins of uk 4% lager or 2 large chang and I want to go to sleep - after a beetroot sandwich and servicing the wife of course can you yell us more about the bit after the beetroot sandwich...

Funny that , usualy drink Leo8 as has a bit more flavour. My off licence ran out of it a couple of weeks ago so I bought Singha. No taste at all , yesterday at Makro I found a litre tin of Kaiserdom Dark , looking forward to that in a couple of days time. 195 B but why drink lager at half that price if awfull ?

Popular Post Golden Triangle Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Posted December 24, 2021 Too many amateur drinkers on here, drink enough often enough and hey presto no hangover, I think my last hangover was way back in the early 70's. 1 3
zzaa09 Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 Don't think it's the beer, or any other alcoholic elixir, that might be the cause of such inner anxiety.
