The Old Navy

I have an uncle I admire. He call himself "Old Navy". Many part of my character come from him. He is an amazing guy. I will tell you more about him some other time.

Anyway, I was working with him over two years when I was younger. After work, we usually go to Japanese pub. This was how I learned how to cope with beers.

Being in Ireland, I find myself in a pub in a lot of social occasions. People easily go 5pints, 6, 7, ....15....whatever. Japanese people usually have less disassembly enzyme to cope with beers, and I sometimes feel sick. It is pity as people around me are having a great time and I can not stay any longer.

Now listen to my uncle's word.

"Hidekis, do you know why every pubs have tomato juice? How many people would take tomato juice in the pub? Probably none. Strange, isn't it? Well, If you drink beers a lot more than your limit, tomato juice would save you. It works before, during, or after drinking beers. Have it with one tea spoon of salt in it. Try. It was a navy's idea, and became traditional to have tomato juice in the pub."

Ever since, I don't know how many times this bloody tomato juice saved me. Especially this week, after I came back from India, there are a lot of parties going on.

So Yesterday, I had five pints of Beer plus tomato juice with one tea spoon of salt, then a glass of whiskey afterwards.

By the way, my limit usually is four pints....
