Cal, we just called "33" ba moui ba ["33" in V'namese]. The one we called "Tiger Piss" was the stuff in the tall, clear bottles with the tiger on it [La Rue?]. If you were getting Ballantine, or anything else besides Black Label in rusty cans, out in the field alot, you were living LARGE. We'd get an occasional Pabst, Shlitz, or Ballantine once in a great while and, no matter what it was it was ALWAYS hot. We also got a couple sodas with the beer ration.
