...flag snapping above terrain that has been under a U.S. trade embargo since 1975 -- but then squirrelly is a feeling Vietnam gives you these days. Out yonder was a gunless gunboat, its Vietnamese colors set off against a red gob of sun. In the bar was flat, skunky-tasting beer that had sat in the heat for a year, though the hapless representative of San Miguel, a Filipino brewery, insisted that he had accompanied 70,000 fresh cases into the country; they just got away from him, is all.

He just knows how to choose faces, how long...
Alcoholic energy drinks are a crime against taste--but worse, they trick your brain into believing you're not as drunk as you are. Bottom line: have a real beer instead. If your beverage of choice carries a silly name like Joose, you're probably too young to drink anyway...
