How long is "after a while"? Because I really can't take seriously anything that takes twenty years to kill me. |

Good point redbird.
I'm just saying this stuff is not safe after a bunch of years. |

My father was born and raised Hungarian, which means copious amounts of alcohol for teenagers is allowed and youth learn to increase their quantities slowly over the years. In the mandatory military service he drank even more. Then when he went to Canada for good in 1956 he entered what was then a prevalent drinking culture in the country.
So, by the time he was 60 he could - no word of a lie - drink FIVE 40 pounders of whiskey in less than three days and still have some vistors not know he's even drunk! Yes, five 40-ounce bottles. Science may say it's impossible but my father is living proof to the contrary.
Then he retired and began making his own home brew (much stronger than 40 % alcohol in whiskey). Now at 73 he's curbed his habits a bit. He always was a weekend drinker only (never Monday through Thursday; and I mean never, unless it was a holiday; that's probably how he managed to make his career work out so well for him). Now he's a once or twice a month four-day binge drinker.
I gave him a few bottles of soju last year when I visited and he tossed one back, said it made him him a little dizzy. He tossed another back and then said it didn't have enough "kick". He took the remaining seven bottles I'd brung and made moonshine out of them (double distilled them into stronger hooch!).
I have inherited nothing.
I stumble and slur after a bottle of soju, never drank even a single big bottle of whiskey in my life, let alone five. And I absolutely dislike drinking unless it's a special occasion back home or going out with Korean guys here.
My father thinks I'm a bit less of a man because of it.
(He doesn't exactly say it but it's obvious sometimes.)
His generation is of another time and place. |
What an entertaining post. Interestingly, I have a Canadian friend whose parents are Hungarian, and he's one of the cheapest drunks I know. |

Mate, given the sub standard beer you have in South Australia, surprised you drink at all.  |
Perfect for South Australians really.
But since ours is the nations best, what does that say about the Vics? Or Territorians? |

Hey guys....long time listerner first time caller
I drink like the next guy, well not to excess or anything but dont you think that its just a legal accepted drug, there are more alcohol related deaths than any other substance in the world and yet we down it with a smile and a burp.
I drink more in korea than anywhere else I have lived and I grew up in New Zealand and Australia.
so just say no!
cheers  |
