I’ve been living in Singapore for a while now, and I can tell you one thing: Singaporeans are definitely more experienced in drinking than Caucasians.
A lot of Caucasians act like they are good drinkers, but they are honestly not a challenge to the locals in Singapore
It seems like a lot of Caucasians in Singapore think they can keep up with the locals when it comes to drinking, but they honestly can’t.
When I first moved to Singapore, I was pretty shocked to see how much alcohol was being consumed. It seemed like everywhere I went, someone was drinking. I thought I could keep up with them, but I quickly realized that I was way out of my league.
I’ve seen Caucasians try to keep up with the locals, only to end up passed out on the ground after a few drinks. It’s a bit embarrassing, to be honest.
Most Singaporeans that I know are much more disciplined when it comes to drinking, they know when to stop if they have to whereas Caucasians tend to overindulge and end up drinking too much.
By the way, I am talking about those office working class Singaporeans and not those young punks or hooligan looking people you see at the Thai discos or KTVs here.
Those people might also be good at drinking but they would also tend to overdrink and create problems thereafter.
Caucasians also tend to be more competitive when it comes to drinking. They will try to out-drink each other and show off how tough they are.
Singaporeans, on the other hand, also like to challenge their friends in a friendly manner when it comes to drinking but most people will tap out if they really have too much to drink and will not continue to swallow down their alcohol when they cannot take it.
