I turned 21 in Vietnam so maybe I had my first legal beer in Sydney, Australia, while on R&R... good question... I almost had a similar experience this afternoon at lunch... I ordered some fried shrimp and noticed that under the shrimp on the menu it said "add 24 oz. Pacifico for $5.00"... I stupidly asked the lady if that was like an upgrade (thinking pacifico was a kind of shrimp)... she confirmed it was and in a few minutes I was sitting red faced with a frothing glass of Pacifico in front of me... I explained my ignorance and of course offered to pay for the "Pacifico" having learned to confirm we are talking apples and apples next time... now the reason for my ignorance is that I have not kept track of the "new" drinks in what now begins to amount to many years... it was not always that way... I recall as tho it was yesterday sitting at lunch the first afternoon of the '65ers 25 year reunion with about 15 other '65ers and Steve SIMPSON ('65-RIP) asking why I wasn't drinking... I responded that I wasn't drinking any longer and at the same moment there was a loud sound, such as the intake of a huge breath at the same moment, followed by a very loud "Thank God" from the group... but this ain't 'bout no beer today... this is about another Bomber Buddy celebrating yet another birthday...
