Not sure we're going to be in town long enough (meeting with some colleagues from Oz) but if we can take you up on that, we'd love to.flying chicken wrote:Bring mrs stroppy along too; will get the wife to cook real Khmer food.

Yeah, when I say I binge drink, I mean about a dozen drinks. When I first moved to Cambodia, 5 drinks did me in. Now I can easily drink 10+ drinks and drive home feeling relatively sober.iluvu wrote:I guess I binge 2-4 times a week. I thought binge drinking was at or around the level you throw up. I've only been at that point once so far in Cambodia.

Once or twice a month, and exclusively. I never have a drink or two. Never do the glass of wine with dinner or 3 beers after work thing. I can count on two hand the number of time I've drunk on consecutive nights or during daylight hours. But when I drink, I never drink less than 10.

By then Happy hour is almost over so off to my favorite hostess bar for another "sitting" and 5 more drinks. On a good night, maybe two or three more "sittings" --- and I can honestly say I never binge drinkGeneral Mackevili wrote:
And what counts as bingeing? About six “standard drinks†— a beer, a glass of wine or a shot of liquor — in one sitting. Each drink contains about 18 milliliters (0.6 fluid ounces) of pure alcohol.
The WHO calls this “heavy episodic drinking.†(American college kids call it “Thursday.â€)
Oh ! how I like your logic

Re: Are Expats in Cambodia Binge Drinking Enough?
With my schedule I start drinking when many of you start working... so it cuts down on how often I go out to do so. When I do it's occasionally an 8-14 hour run of barhopping with my wife asking how I spent $250 on drinks. But I only have a hard one like that 1-2 times a month.LTO wrote:Once or twice a month, and exclusively. I never have a drink or two.

My average weekend night out is only 8-10 drinks... which still probably qualifies. during my month of no work however those big nights were significantly more frequent, as i'd get started with buddies and then keep going once they'd tapped out.

I have followed you before with one eye open. I think we hit max speeds of about 15km/h.
