Crazy Asian Drinks

In my wild and crazy younger years, when I was in the Navy, I tried to live up to the stereotype of what I thought was a sailor. That is to be hardworking at sea, and then get good and plastered while on liberty. Going steaming was what it was called, and eventually I grew up and grew out of that phase in my life. But while I was in it, some of the drinks I had were ones that defied description. Things like screwdrivers, cuba libres, grasshoppers, and others I can’t recall after 30 years. At today’s Warped site we look at some drinks that would put the ones I sampled to shame.

The name of the site is Crazy Asian Drinks. This is a site that features some of the most unusual and outlandish drinks from the Far East. Some of these one would have to be crazy to sample, or at least three sheets to the wind. The names alone are enough to make one hesitate. Things like Pearl Milk Tea, Pocari Sweat, Soursop Juice, and Foco Tamarind Juice. Each drink has its own page, explaining what it is (and quite some detail) and some of the pluses and minuses of that concoction. There is also an FAQ that expounds on the site philosophy, staff bios, a newsletter, and some very interesting links.

Now, I don’t advocate anyone go out and get smashed to have a good time. I relate it here only as a phase of my life that I went through. I wouldn’t want to do it again, but I would not trade the experience for the world. Of course, the times I was praying in front of the porcelain are enough to ever think about doing anything like that again. The Warp-o-Meter gives this site a 7.0 out of a possible 10.
