Ping and alcohol don't mix
« on: October 22, 2011, 11:21:00 am »
I know I know!! I promised photos of the wedding dinner next, but wanted to post these while I still had the ca-honies  to do so . This was after the wedding dinner .... me and Ping were celebrating by ourselves.
I am taller and bigger than Ping, but truth be told, if she finds out I will be ca-honie-less  :o

I see you like to post your adventures using Photo stills  ::). But when the moonshine wanes, in daybreak's grace, she is back to normal once again.

Having a good time is wonderful , even when sometimes there is a Price to pay afterwards . :'(

@ Rhonald -yes I find using the pics easier -Ping's always reminding me that my Engrish no good.

@ Arnold -that night we were enjoying Tsingtao and Chongding  beer-Good thing too, Ping says she really likes the Wine, or as she calls it "Fruit drink" :o

My wife can't drink.  I think she's allergic.  None of her family drink.  At our wedding, there was one bottle of wine on the table - all mine.  Mama and Baba only drink juice, as well as all the brothers.  You know what?  I couldn't be happier.  I usually don't drink either. 

I have a longish drinking story if anyone's interested.

We were at her niece's wedding.  After about 100 courses of very tasty food, beer started getting poured as family members visited each table.  I felt obliged to drink with the first few visitors.  What a mistake that was.  I think I was duty bound to drink with everyone who came to our table after I started.  I was literally full, but people kept saying "Gambei" and offering me yet another small glass of beer.  I nearly puked and had to excuse myself.

That was lunch.  At dinner, it was obvious that everyone wanted to drink with the white guy some more, and no matter how I refused, they kept bringing bottles over to the table.  Our older brother decided to help out by bringing me a tea cup - tiny thing, about half an ounce.  Oh good, I'm saved.  Well, it wasn't beer that was poured into it, it was some kind of rice wine (more like moonshine).  I tried to refuse that, but it was turning ugly.  My wife and I had to leave the tables. 

There's always some rougher guys in the family.  But in the end, they're all good guys.

I'm SO screwed!  I don't drink much and really don't enjoy being drunk. Maybe I'll just tell everyone I'm allergic to alcohol?  ???   ;D

@ Neil -I understand completely -My new Mama and Baba don't drink either, but at dinner (not the Wedding dinner)  one night I was sitting between Ping and my new brother-in-law. He promptly poured me a tall glass of beer -Then every time I turned to talk to anyone my glass would magically refill itself, and there sat my brother-in-law looking like this------> ;D

@ David -I've been told many times that if you are upfront with them right away, about not drinking no offense will be taken  :-X

Tell them you are allergic, or on medication with strict orders from the doctor that states NO ALCOHOL, if you do this up front, everyone will understand and accept it, and give you juice / water .... with no problem

Why lie to them?  If you do not drink at at then tell then. If you are on medication then tell them. 
 If you are using medication as an excuse then beware.  Some of the family may mark you down as 'a sickie' with no long term prospects!

My wifes Baba always has a glass of that Chinese  'white spirit with his evening meal. He's 86 now and if I could guarantee reaching that age by drinking it maybe I would give it a go. But I hate the taste of spirits.

The problem is that there is a lot more to drinking than enjoying the drink.  I like the occasional beer, but if I drink a beer with one older brother, then refuse the second older brother, I've hurt him or placed one above the other.  True, don't lie if you think you shouldn't. 

Heh, if you are a sickie with no long term prospects, it's probably best they know before they insist on the drink, and the situation turns medical.

Well, I'm not a sickie.  I do enjoy an occasional beer.  I just don't like doing two things, offending others, and feeling pressured to drink.  I agree, not lying is a good way to go.  I've found out that when you lie it isn't long until you get found out and then loose a LOT of face.
