The wife and I are back for a visit in Los Angeles and to my suprise walking in the market is Chang Beer. Never thought I would see that here as I was told it couldn't be sold for some reason or another in the states.

How much for a bottle?

It was around $2 for a large bottle.

I heard that the FDA doesn't approve Chang Beer to be sold in the US because of all the chemicals that are added to it. There is no quality control.

Exactly! They leave all the quality in

Been a while since ive been back but seem to remeber Chang in the uk for 2 Gbp a bottle ! ( 140 Baht )

What?... and they let you drink that shit called Budweiser.

Not a fan of Chang or Bud, but for my money Bud gets the nod.

I have to drink twice as much Bud for the buzz, but Weiser doesn't require a bottle of Tylenol to rid my brain-busting headache the following morning.

I thought the problem with Chang in the US was alcohol content. At 6.7% that's malt liquor in the US, not beer. Maybe they lowered the percent or put it in a different bottle and stored it with the Colt 45.

Beer Chang is not a deal, even if given for free. What an awful cow piss it is.

Thais love it's high alcohol content, with a 3 baht 2kg of ice, they can have a ball on the cheap.

There were 3 Thai drinks that got me into hangovers and headaches worse than in my University days:

Beer Chang, Mekong and Lao Khao. No mixing, consumed separately.

As I missed out on the thread eulogising Scouse a week or so ago, this is perhaps a suitable juncture to mention that 660cl bottles of Stella Artois, his favourite tipple, are currently on sale in Lidl for £1.29. A little symbol on the lable indicates that the contents constitute 3.4 units of alcohol, no doubt intended as a warning, but which I take as reassurance of great quality.

Afraid Chang gives me a dreadful headache - Singha or Leo much preferred.
