If you have notice the lack of Drunk Little Asian posts as of the past couple of weeks that is because the Little's Asian's been having stomach woes. And to be kind to my stomach, I've taken a short drinking hiatus.
It's a hard thing -- getting older. I remember the days when I could drink 2 or 3 pints of Long Island Ice Tea in a sitting. But as we grow up, the Drunk Little Asian has come to realize the tough truth of adult drinking life -- we just can't get as drunk as we used to. Hangovers are harder, stomachs are softer, and we get drunk easier. We're just not made of the steel of our college years and younger twenties. Not that I'm saying, I'm old, mind you. Just trying to refine myself as a mature drinker.
But what to drink when the stomach feels funny? It depends on your stomach woe really. My personal stomach woe is acid reflux -- so the more the acid, the more the reflux. I have sadly said my farewells to red wine and for the most part beer -- I do occasionally take breaks from that because beer truly is too tasty to ignore forever.
So I have limited myself to mostly white wines, the occasional light cocktail, and am discovering that I like rose wine. But there is much to learn and much to taste even within those drinking limitations.
Here was a drink that was especially kind to the Little Asian's tummy this weekend:
Boxed Yellow and Blue Spanish Rose -- a lovely, affordable boxed wine with a clean, gentle taste. Perfect for a summer afternoon at the beach or just sunning outside.

i believe there's an unattributed quote in there from everybody's favorite band...
Actually, the The Hold Steady say "We can't get as high as we got...on that first night."
best solution for a sensitive stomach is ceviche at pio pio in coney island plus multiple extra large beers at nathans. 2 for 1 dogs at keyspan park though taste like paste and should be avoided
