Boozy and Non-boozy

I am turning in to a gym junkie and loving it, minus the huge hangover on Saturday morning after a welcome back to Hanoi party went slightly astray on Friday afternoon and finished some time very late either Friday night or Saturday morning. Sam has found a new after work watering hole called Matchbox just near Giang Vo lake and it is great. They happy hour from 2-5pm and we made the most of that. Then just round the corner I finally made it to Q and Q Ostrich Restaurant. A group of 8 of us ate merrily there for a steal, and then Mark had to mention AFL and although we didn't need any more booze and I could have done with a huge sleep we went to Jaspas to watch the Pies and St Kilda. I met some of the Hanoi Swans lads and drank a few of my 'old' favourite drink the Mojito. You notice the word old there as I am NEVER drinking it again.

Come home soon Trev with the kids, I can't take being single and free. Saturdays with the sprites is far more relaxing than a mighty hangover and lack of sleep from partying too hard.

All this does lead me to my main reason for writing this - what alcoholic drink can I enjoy that will least hurt me and my training regime for this duathlon? I have friends on hand here to tell me when I become a freak who won't drink and ask for celery sticks, but I think we all know that won't be necessary.
