Beer and Coffee (works well for me)
(by Teresa Salas Danao  4/8/2008)

Unlike other everyday people who directly go home after work, my everyday routine would be to enjoy beer by myself while browsing the net, and listening to music while downloading some; all at the same time. How’s that for multi-tasking?

And unlike other everyday people, drinking is a pleasure for the depressed & the solitairy; the type of everyday people who want to be too drunk to just doze off and get a dreamless sleep. And, given the limits of normal everyday people, waking up drunk would be very hard the following day; but one nonetheless help oneself up because work is ahead. The effect of the hangover would be such a punishment, ordinary people has to read and type with one’s face half a foot away from the monitor.

And so after the beer binge at night, coffee would be the best drink to cap it off the next morning.

In the Tibetian Test forwarded to me, I was asked to describe coffee; and I alluded to it as “hot.” For those who have not yet taken the Test, one’s description of coffee is tantamount to his/ her description of sex. So for me, coffee is hot. Sex is hot. Whoa.

Going back to my coffee.. a sweet sip of coffee is a welcome taste after 2 cans of 500ml red horse extra strong beer. If I get to finish 3 cans, my head would be spinning for 13 (?) degrees and the coffee would at least clear some headaches.. there is some calm that the coffee brings even though I am not sure how effective it is as an aspirin.

In the end, what I am trying to say is this: coffee after beer is a good thing all the time; especially when enjoyed with cheese/egg paratha or some lebanese/syrian sweets.

Gulp then sip… works well for me…
