I just go for Leo as I dislike SIngha and Chang, and Heiny is usually over-priced. Your last sentence . Agree , Leo8 is ok on a warm evening , not sure it will be ok tonight though as now on the second day of continual rain. Chang draught is ok but Singha not so , but we are all different . Truth is I like beer not bottled lager. Hick's Special Draught in Cornwall .................ah them were the days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice, to be honest. As far as I'm aware there's no "budget" beer in the range between 4 and 5%. The 4% beers taste too watery for me, but a nice 4.5 or 4.6 would perhaps let me last an extra hour or so before calling time a night out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grain Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 27 minutes ago, brewsterbudgen said: Budweiser ????? I've not seen that in 7-11. I get the large cans at Lotus's. Where we live there's a mini Lotus's nearby and I get them there. I'm pretty certain I've got them out of the 7-11s. Lots of people dump on Bud and say it's p!ss, but I find it a very pleasant clean tasting lager. I should add one of the criteria I use for judging beers is how they go for hangovers, if you happen to have 1 or 2 too many. I usually drink in moderation but if I do give Heineken or Bud or San Mig Light a bit of a wallop then next day hangovers are pretty mild. But Leo/Chang/Sing hangovers are diabolical, for me anyway. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Kaopad999 said: Same, i've pretty much quit beer and starting hitting the gym + a low calorie diet. I'll stick to the odd occasional Gin or a couple of glasses of red wine. Any spirit will be low-carb, whisky, rum, gin, vodka etc. Red wine is a bit higher. Beer is the absolute worst for liquid carbs. You'll know when you are making progress at the gym by measuring your resting pulse rate. Anything below 60 bpm is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzaa09 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Even more devastating and worrisome is that local distilled elixirs are feeling the pinch. What was once a B20 bag of hooch is currently running B60-B70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon6966 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Compare alcohol prices in Cambodia and Vietnam... A look at alcohol prices in Thailand.. Makes me wonder why increase? Cambodia alcohol good alcohol if so cheap And beer 50 sent But in Thailand it's whole different story Not only... I suddenly few months ago discovered that lazada Vietnam started selling western alcohol you can order it A but you want good real scotch whiskey and all cheaper then Thailand deliver to you They sold beer and cider there before but now also spirits Edited July 2, 2022 by Moon6966 Forgot something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportRider Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Interestingly, Singha is one of the best value beers you can buy in the UAE licenced stores. Yesterday I bought a pack of 12 cans each of 490ml, for AED 75 (which is about THB 726 at today's rates). Cranking the numbers that makes 12x0.49=5.88 litres for THB 726, Ie THB 123.5 per litre. Not a bad deal at all, here in Abu Dhabi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
