What law is that I wonder? The law on how much beer a customer is allowed to drink, or if staff have to intercept and prevent anyone drinking more than one glass of beer at a time?

The law in Thailand is whatever they say it is. Whether it is or not. It's all about control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyHeyHey Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Most young people in Europe do this from time to time and never heard of someone dying But they do drink beer, and not the Thai stuff pretending to be beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmushr00m Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 When drinking with Thais, everything is "Mott kaew", bottom up. No worries me admits to bring drunk. Heck most don't even consider themselves drunk until they throw up or pass out. I hated company outings because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I remember the good old days in OZ when every friday the company would provide free slabs of beer to get drunk on and at 10 pm watch you drive out in your company car . Yes it was stupid from both sides but if a first world can do it do not be surprised 3rd world still do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
