Eat, Drink & Be Merry!

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming : WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!"

The author of this phrase must really be an advocate of that other phrase "Eat, Drink & Be Merry!" But isn't this what life should be all about? Isn't eating and drinking the "sun" around which we all orbit? Think about this for a second --->>> When we're happy we drink to celebrate; When we're sad we drink to drown our sorrows; When we have nothing better to do we drink to occupy ourselves; When we're stressed we drink to calm our nerves.

In a Law-Full society such as ours, it should be made mandatory that we all consume at least a pint of beer or a bottle of wine a day. After all, Wine is made from fruit and Brandy is distilled wine so that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the delicious goodness right? And Beer is also made out of grain which is definitely healthy. I mean who would ever say that fruits and vegetables are bad for you?

My folks used to tell me that they'd put about 10ml of Benedictine Dom into my milk when I was a toddler cause it helped me sleep. I believe they had other plans in mind, but that's for another blog altogether. I decided to try this on Charlie one hyperactive night and all I have to say is this: GOD I LOVE MY PARENTS!!!

Way before our illustrious forefathers discovered the marvels of water purification, ale was the "drink of the day". No one drank anything but that. No one would be foolish enough to try anything else. With all the pollution that we're facing today and that huge hole-in-the-sky getting larger by the day, shouldn't we start bringing back this practice? I say that the government should seriously consider merging the Public Utilities Board with Asia Pacific Breweries. Imaging turning on your tap for ice-cold Heineken! Now that's what I call beer-on-tap!

I've got a buddy who's finding himself "spiritually" in Bali. Shouldn't be too difficult considering that Bintang Beer is only S$1.50 a bottle. I think it's about time I headed to my fridge for a "spiritual reunion" myself.

Eat, Drink & Be Merry! No guys I said BE MERRY not BE MARY! Ladies you can BE MARY if you want.

Cheers!
