If you're feeling stressed and tired, one of the best ways to unwind is to grab a cold beer.
While there aren't many locally-produced beer brands in the Philippines, there is one favorite brand that we tend to drink on almost all occasions.
Did you know that there's a factory here in Cebu City that produces beer? That's why beer here in our city is often cheaper than in other parts of the Philippines.
Tonight, I joined my partner and his colleagues as they relaxed and unwound over their favorite beers. It's one of their favorite things to do, especially during special occasions or when they just want to catch up and relax.
Oh wow, look at that ice-cold beer, indeed! As for me, I also drink beer occasionally if I am in good condition and in a good mood, but most of the time, I do not drink that much because, for me, beer often makes me feel bloated, that is why I'm not that fan of beer. Personally,what I love most is vodka and tequila.
Given the intense heat index in the Philippines, it's crucial for my partner and his colleagues, who work in one of the largest motorcycle taxi companies, to unwind and relax after a long day at work. Drinking beer is one of their favorite bonding activities, and I have no problem with it as long as they drink it in moderation.
It's enjoyable that they can share their experiences of their individual travels and work. Relaxing with colleagues is a great way to relieve stress. They often talk about their experiences with passengers during deliveries and their work, but what makes it even better is that they do so over some cups of beer, which helps them unwind.
Drinking beer has become a favorite bonding activity for these men. Whether it's eating out or going out at night, beer is always present during their celebrations. While it's fun to have beer around, it's important to keep in mind that moderation is key. The men are aware of this and pause and stop when they feel tipsy and drunk, which is crucial, especially when they need to drive home. Unpredictable accidents can happen, so it's important to exercise caution and think ahead when drinking beer, especially when not at home.
After a few hours of sitting around and chilling with them. One of my colleague's partners had already got out of work, so she went here to join us. Since I did not drink beer that night, and she did not drink as well. Because she was not in that good condition, we decided to walk around and buy ourselves some milk tea since we did not drink any beer. All we ever did was support our partners in doing what they love to do for us both. It's just fine as long as they drink moderately.
I appreciate when the partners of my partner’s colleagues join us because we have become close friends over time. We have shared many moments together, and it's great to spend time with them. Since we work in the motorcycle taxi industry, it's important for our partners to have a support system and help each other out, especially in tough situations on the road. I fully support my partner going out with them occasionally since their work requires it. As long as everything is done in moderation, I have no issue with it.
It was such a fun night indeed! Ciao!☺︎♡
