Drank LOTS of it during Vietnam, but as I recall it was only fit to drink when it was 1 degree above freezing and I was already shitface on local rum
In the Philippines we use to judge the bar by the temp of the coolers. It use to cost more for enough ice to cool a case of San Miguel than the beer! as a side note... always look on the bottle to make sure it was bottled in Manila (the other stuff was REAL crap)
funny how the circumstance changes the flavor of food and drink. I have never had lousy food or drink when I'm with teardroppers
