Are there any fellow Nam Vets out there?

If so, you will (affectionally?) remember imbibing in (if like me, copious amounts of) Ba Moui Ba, or '33' Beer.

We were told it contained Formaldehyde and I believe it.

We always joked if we bought it, we would not even have to be embalmed.

Ah the good ol' days of trolling the many bars in Saigon (and buying Saigon Tea for the lovelies) when we were young, dumb and full of ... well you know the rest. lol

As I spent a year in Japan, I also had more than my share of Kirin which was much better.

Ah, but my absolute favorite (and one which is difficult to find here in the States) was San Miguel from the Phillipines and one of the best beers I ever drank.

ConorMacNessa, BIGLOOK, and PROCON are Nam Vets. And there are probably more.

We thank you for your service to our country.
