People enjoy beer at a Hanoi restaurant. Photo by ReutersTran Van Minh of HCMC says he has “a knack for drinking” and feels “uneasy” if he does not drink for two or three days.
The factory worker claims he is not an alcoholic though he goes out drinking several times a week and consumes around a dozen cans of beer each time or the equivalent in hard liquor.
“Like many others, I drink because it helps me forget my problems.”
Often he blacks out after getting too drunk and wakes up the next day without remembering what happened.
Minh is one of many Vietnamese men who claim they cannot survive without drinking alcohol.
