britgent Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yes I know no beer is the best bet for no hang over but after experimenting with the usual suspects I have found that Chang pretty much annihilates the senses and tries to kill me the evening in question with my antics and the morning after with the changeover. I then moved onto Leo but quickly grew bored of its overly sweet taste and moved onto Heineken which just doesn't taste right sometimes. Recently I have been favouring Singha. Sorry to go on what I meant to ask instead of waffling on is which beer is of the highest quality and least likely to produce a terrible hang over. Moderation is key I know. Also has anybody experienced the flat beer syndrome plaguing Thailand? Every now and again I get a fresh beer and its perfectly flat like it has been left open sometime. I'm guessing this might be waiting staff getting the order wring and resealing the bottle so as not to incur wastage? My last point is does anybody accept the free shits at bars, I'm sure its despicable home brew and I'm wary off what they might slip in it.

chrisinth Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Chang without a doubt. For the no hangover effect, you should try to consume between 12 and 14 large bottles before retiring. After consumption, try to rule out any physical exercise before, or during, going to bed.

MrWorldwide Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Singha ? Isn't that Thai for 'formaldehyde' ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The problem with hangovers and Thai beer is too many people try to hydrate themselves with it. Alcohol is a diuretic. Drinking beer causes you to loose more water than you take in. Have a bottle of water every few beers and you'll have far fewer ill effects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Singha ? Isn't that Thai for 'formaldehyde' ? Formaldehyde is a natural byproduct of digestion. Your body creates it while digesting vegetables, but it's not used in Thai beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurwait Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've settled for the least worse Leo. Singha half decent taste, but rich. After about 5 or 6 it makes me puke. , Chang , monster hangover and tastes of gawd knows what. Heneiken , wouldn't drink it if it as the last thing on offer in the UK, but drink in Thailand if it's that or Chang. Tiger don't like the taste. Archer rough.. Red Horse only seen in cans. Phuket beer only available in tops ( perhaps outside of Phuket). Loving the choice of beers in the Uk at the moment and last week in 700 year old pubs, rather a bit better than a shop house and a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanno Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Not my favorite beer, but I have never had side effects from Chang. But then I am not allergic to MSG either. Singha is my favorite in LOS (we have better beers here in Cambodia ). Agree with other posters: neck a bottle of water every so often and you will be a lot less rough for wear the next day.

h90 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Singha in the 0.5 Liter bottles tastes way cleaner than in the big bottles. Either they brew it different or it is because of the shorter supply chain (I get it from the distributor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nisakiman Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I always found Chang Draught to be the best tasting and least hangover-inducing beer. Unfortunately when I was there last (a few years ago) it wasn't universally available. Maybe it's more readily available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britgent Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Sorry for the title I tried to edit the I'll to Ill but no joy. Predictive text etc. Could a kind mod please do it? I forgot Chang Export. After reading so many good things about it I headed straight to tops and bought a crate. How disappointed I was when I discovered how tasteless it is. They sat in the fridge untouched for a very long time. Sent from my i-mobile IQ 6A using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've never had a problem with Tiger, Chang Export or Federbrau, the Chang copy of Carlsberg. Of course, moderation is the key but the taste of Chang should be a dead giveaway that it will hurt the next day. Down a bottle of Gatorade or mix some rehydration salts into a bottle of water and finish it before going to bed along with a B complex multivitamin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
