Anyway, I went out and bought a case of Sam Adams lager, case of Bud
and a case of Pabst Red, White and Blue.

I had half a case of Sam, 3/4 case of Bud and the Pabst was gone.

Go figure. *:)

I am drinking PBR these days. I have trouble finding regular Coors in
a bottle, my other choice.
I used to always drink Bud but I just lost the taste for it and I
don't like the heavy beers.
I drink Busch if I can't find PBR or Coors.

I drink lots of water, and have been doing so for 22 years. Water's
not bad, but it's not a hot conversation topic. It doesn't get much of
a head, and is usually pretty clear.

You must have had some of that crap they had from the Phillipines in
SEA.

San Miguel I think it was called? *Had to strain it before you drank
it to get the crunchy bits out? *:)

Well, yes. Actually I'd drink about anything that had an alcohol
content. Luckily, I had an Engineer company with dump trucks and a
First Sergeant who was a wheeler-dealer, and a Post Exchange at Cu Chi
that was always needing laterite for its swampy parking lot. So we
always had free beer and enough steaks for a Friday cookout.

Times were good.

For you maybe...while the real soldiers were out crawling through the jungle
getting shot at.

Don, most of us don't get a big charge out of discussing the bad times
we had.

And all of us have some good, or at least humorous, stories about the
war - even the 'real soldiers' to whom you refer.



Yeah. My dad was baptized with fire and all he would ever talk about
was the good. the fun.
