For Goodness Sake, Are You Drunk?

The Samurai are known for been one of the most respected and respectable class of citizens of ancient Japan.

Such status had the Samurai, they could do things such as dismember people who offended them without having to answer for themselves.

This was the power the samurai wielded, a power unheard of almost today in any so called civilized society.

One may even argue that if such people as the Samurai, were to walk among us today, society may well be a much more respectful place to live out of fear of losing limbs at least!

Indeed, it would be hard to imagine the many undesirable acts of today co-existing with the presence of samurai with an abundance of heads but no bodies.

For example, could you possibly imagine the danger of today's drunken-behavior, this terror that is pervading our streets, offending all concerned or non-concerned, with the Samurai around, his mind as sharp as his katana, and ready to use it?

Well, I suppose that depends how drunk the Samurai was. Yes, not even the everyday man of everyday culture's favorite hobby of drinking was forbidden to the Samurai. In fact, the Samurai used to have quite a good knees up on their favorite tipple of alcohol laced Sake.

Whilst a Samurai, in the company of other samurai may have been forgiving of, as well as forgiven for intoxicated behavior, a drunken Samurai was still a far more dangerous and volatile person than any of the yobs of today whilst drunk.

So, we may rest at ease perhaps we are been chased by a drunken idiot with intentions of beating us up, rather than a drunken and incoherent Samurai with a legal right to cut our heads off! OUCH!!

Singapore's No. 5 at Emerald Hill have just launched a new Japanese Whiskey to their spirit cupboard, KIRISHIMA SHOCHU.

Shochu is a type of whiskey that is not very strong, but being made from sweet potatoes, it has a full flavor and a kick that feels like it is coming from the inside out. So don't use this as a hair of the dog!!!
