No way could I keep up with your pace - "props, dewd!" (as I believe the young people - like pmmp - say). My own MBPX is reached after a couple or three Beer Lao (khrap) (or substitute) and a couple of vodka Red Bulls - I drink like a girl. Which is better than dressing as one, like Young Penfold. Listen, YP, it's the kind of thing you do for a bet ONCE, okay? So at the cusp of my MBPX I'd better be in shouting distance of an R4 spinner or my evening, and not me, is fucked. After messily draining down my manly fluids into whatever apertures are presented, it's back to Big Dogs, the meter satisfyingly re-set at zero. All this was when I was a young man, of course. Now it's set the Ultrasonic Dog Bark Trainer on stun and settle back in front of the TV with the newspaper the durian was wrapped in and a nice cup of tea. Yesterday afternoon I was shooting empty BEER LEE-OH KHRAP tins off the back of my pick-up, my wife weaving through a hail of gunfire to replace them as I emptied a pallet's worth of the noble brew down my neck.

But i drank them all. For microbrewerie you can try the "holland beer and shows bar" next to central rama 2. Nice selection. They used to have Duvel ( great belgian beer) at midnight on cowboy.

I find that MBPX can be reached in one of (say) three ways. Over the course of one hour: 3 Coyote's Pint-sized margaritas 4 Big Mango Tiger pints 6 Bottles of Heineken To maintain that perfect balance requires approximately one small draft or one bottle of beer every 60 minutes or so for the balance of the night. I accomplished this perfect balancing act once, just days before a total solar eclipse was visible in southern Cuba. I've spent years attempting to do it again. I reckon I'm as likely to succeed as the people of Cuba are likely to see another total eclipse in my lifetime. Talking about beer is much better than the usual g-club or politics crap that litters this site, isn't it.

Before Magic Beer Point X, you feel you're not quite in the mood, one more then it's definitely back to R4 for number 67, that kind of feeling. Beyond MBPX, your physical ability to keep up with your proposed draining-down session decreases in inverse proportion to your confidence. The slow slide to being a beer-filled flesh balloon bouncing along Suk Street, hands and feet flapping uselessly as tuk-tuks use you as a giant beachball, has begun. And then the tears. And the incontinence. It is at this point that I usually do my best work. But draining down into your diminutive inamorata precisely as you reach MBPX in some way puts you back at zero, perfectly ready for another run at the skittles. And what's this thing about shots? I mean, okay, but it's not a *drink*, is it? It's a kind of snack, I reckon.
