Refreshing Cooler Aid

Warning! Not suitable for under 18 drinking age reader. (Yeah right, like most underage drinkers would even bother...)

This is my cooler aid for the evening, after a long day of work. I'm usually not a big fan of alcohol. I don't drink beer (unlike most of my high school cakes) and I was more into hard whiskey but now I've outgrown that. So I'm now mellowed down to a light wine cooler and those breezer bottled cocktails.
你 怕 黑 嗎?
Dark and Refreshing! Thirst Quenching! And great for virility!

Yes! This is non other than my chillout beverage...
GUINNESS STOUT!

I was once caught sneaking a can of Guinness at the age of 10 watching MTV in the living room late at night, thinking that everyone else should have fallen asleep. While I was feeling relaxed enjoying the incomprehensible graphics of the MTV program, my dad popped up behind me and gave me a shock! "I'm definitely dead for now... " I thought.

On the contrary, my dad being a man hoping to watch him son grow up not ending up a nerd in the real world, told me "Boy, don't be afraid. I'm not angry of you drinking. In fact, I strongly encourage you to start building your alcoholic tolerance from now. You're just about the age to start this training." I was totally stunned when I heard that. "The catch is: you will have to restrict yourself to only one can per week... no more. After a while, you can progress slowly to get your body system get adjusted to alcohol consumption. This way, you'd be building your alcohol tolerance eventually. You will need this to establish yourself in the business world."

Flabbergasted, I was speechless for mintues. I would NEVER expect this positive reaction from my dad. From then on, he's the coolest dad in my eyes. Though he's still old fashion in his lifestyle, he's totally open up to the change of the generations. I love him for that. He's now someone I feel more comfortable confiding to as a friend
