My boss is visiting from the US and we went to dinner tonight at The Lowlander, a Belgian café that has as any good Belgian café would, excellent Moules Frites and an extensive beer selection.
I always order Westmalle Dubbel because I like the taste. The fact that it is 7% alcohol content is a pleasant side effect.
Our waiter was Japanese and kept saying cheers in that knee jerk way that all expats including myself do.
When we were leaving, after I had consumed my Moules Fritte and three Westmalle Dubbels, he suggested that I be sure to drink some water so that I wouldn’t be dehydrated.
I controlled myself from patting his cheek and saying, “Oh sweetie. You have NO idea. . .”

HAHA! That is about all I can say. . .
