Looking innocent enough, and enjoyed by MILLIONS of Filipinos, any foreigner could be forgiven for easily falling into a false sense of security with this wolf in sheep’s clothing. Touted as “strong beer” – we might also make comparisons with the like of Stella AKA “wife beater” from the UK. Do not be fooled my friend! At least with Stella you know what you’re dealing with, San Miguel don’t even list the alcohol strength on the bottle – which leaves everyone guessing it’s true alcohol content! Actually, it doesn’t actually taste that strong – if it is alcohol, then I’d guess it at around 5.5%. In my observation, Filipinos seem to be able to drink any amount of Red Horse, whilst of course getting drunk during the event, BUT not necessarily showing the same traits that a “Red Horse” intoxicated westerner might. What are the indications of a foreigner that Drinks Red horse regularly?
1) Drinking Red Horse quickly becomes a habit – shortly after, a way of life.
2) The foreigner, by day, actually looks a little like a Red Horse! – Well, at least red-faced with a bloated belly
3) Loss of temperature regulation. Drink RH and the next day, you will sweat like pig and be completely at the mercy of the Filipino climate – without RH, you’re body is in with at least a fighting chance of dealing with it.
4) Fuzzy head – embarrassing when you cant recall your girl friends name for the 3rd time in a week!
5) Various life – changing events relating to the ensuing chaos during your last Red Horse session!
My advice, to the foreigner, is to treat this devil-water with the respect it deserves – get complacent, and just like a real horse, you could receive a swift and nasty kick
