Cheap booze recomendations to help us through this tough time?

I am scandalised and outraged by the use of lime powder, when every mom and pop shop in Cambodia sells real limes. In fact, I have never even seen lime powder and do not want to./End of rant.

Cheapest booze has got to be rice wine. Have you thought of mixing rice wine with some (real not powdered) smashed mint to make a stunning Mekong Mojito ? Offer some to your friends first to see what happens.

Wow! 15 baht a tin. I don't know how much it is by the case (because, well, I never drink Leo), but a single Leo at the 7-11 is about 35ish baht. I remember a few years ago checking some Thai beer in my Canadian province's liquor stores. A single Singha in a six-pack was about 56 baht, about the same price or less than in a Pattaya bar.

I bought a case of Cambodia beer, for $9.50 the week before. Cheap drinking.

High Commissioner scotch, $7 a litre at Che Deth drink shop, st 13 near Kandal market.
Lucky drink shop on Monivong just south of Thai Huot, is another shop with keen prices.
For that special (solo of course) occasion, 1 litre of 12 year Glenfiddich for $29 at either shop. Or 1 litre of 12y Chivas at Lucky for $20.

I'm in Siem Reap. The cheapest I've seen the Commissioner here is around $10. I've been tempted to try it. I'll have to look around and see if maybe I can find a cheaper liquor store somewhere here.

Haha. That's fair. I never would have thought of it before moving to Cambodia. I'm a bit less of a cocktail snob here. Real limes are considerably more expensive, though. They also tend to be smaller and not that juicy compared to the limes I'm used to in the west. I'd be adding $.30 of lime to a $.40 drink(making it a $.70 drink). And several times when I've gotten limes, they end up with a bitterness to them. I can't find consistent good limes here. Then I end up with a dozen useless limes or six to nine kinda crappy drinks. The powder actually isn't bad. It's not quite as good as real juice, but better than 2-3 day old real juice and certainly better than bitter limes. The slight loss in quality is a fair trade-off for me at the moment compared to the higher cost and effort in finding a source for consistent, good limes.

^^ Grow a lime tree. Sprout some pips. Fun to do, looks nice, smells good, and you can also use the leaves for cooking. :stir:

WildA Is it really that cheap, since I came to the big city I made do with the happy pizza places. There was some really good ones too, medium pepperoni with a good herb topping it kind of kills two birds with one stone. Feeding you and getting stoned, or getting stoned and can't be bothered to eat. That become a problem! I left half the pizza once for breakfast the following morning, but it was gone when I looked, ever tried copping with a stoned Khmer girlfriend.

is it similar to coping with a stoned Brazilian girlfriend? Does she start to samba if you play lambada?

Never heard of it. It's actually halfway decent and drinkable? I'd be Pretty damn skeptical at that price...
