I have a few friends from Taiwan who are quite proud of their drinking abilities. Whenever we hang out, they are always showboating and bragging about how they can drink anyone under the table.
Of course, I never believed them until one day I decided to test them out.
Decided to let them try our beer and put them in their place
Since they were in Singapore, I figured what better way to test my Taiwanese friends than to bring them out to a bar to have some beer.
I knew that our beer was quite strong, at least stronger than the Taiwanese beer that they drink back home, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to see if they could handle it.
So, I brought them to a bar in Boat Quay and I ordered a round of beers for us. My Taiwanese friends were all excited to try the local beer and they started chugging it down almost immediately.
I was quite surprised by their enthusiasm and I was even more surprised when they finished their beers in no time.
After three pints they started to get drunk
But, it didn’t take long for them to start to feel the effects of the alcohol. After their third beer, they were already starting to slur their words and stumble around. They were so drunk that they could barely stand.
I had wanted to bring them bar hopping but it seems like one round was enough to kill them.
Never showed off how good they were in drinking again
Of course, I had to cut them off after that. I didn’t want them to get too drunk and end up in the hospital. So, I took them back to their hotel room and put them to bed.
The next day, my Taiwanese friends were still feeling the effects of the beers and they were quite embarrassed about how they had acted.
They apologized to me for not being able to handle their drinks and vowed never to brag about their drinking abilities again.
Since that day, I have never seen my Taiwanese friends try to show off their drinking abilities again.
