I certainly never think about price if I'm having a beer - I take out 10,000 everytime I go out - spend around 3/4,000 an evening a couple time a week. I'm retired!!! it's what I worked for all my life. You worked for decades to get drunk? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it is less sex, less wine, and less travel. I call that quality retirement 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned sex as it was difficult to get hold of in old Blighty and is easy as shootin' apples in a barrel here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible how much time and energy socializing with alchohol take away from a sustainable healthy lifestyle. Everything most expats do in Thailand is combined with alchohol. Very few socializing arenas I have found except going to the gym is linked to drinking. Yes, whenever a venue was suggested in my past the very 1st consideration was "does it have a bar" or can I bring my own ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBKK Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Just now, susanlea said: And bargirls/alcohol isn't boring yet Very rarely do I take a bargirl—she'd have to be very new, etc. There are enough outside of bars, and am I bored? Occasionally, but it's been fun finding out. Alcohol is not dull for me as I'm a wine drinker, mostly at home, where I have a large wine cooler fridge that takes 160 bottles.

Travelling for work and sport, it was easy to meet women, especially when both is combined with positive exposure.

At some point they would comment on how great it was, to which I would always say: "Yeah, but after a while you get tired of having indiscriminate sex with different young, attractive women all the time." Then I would pause while they looked at me like I was crazy, and then I would laugh and say: "Ahh, I was just bullsh*tting, not really." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
