Affiliate Marketing Can Kill You if You Don’t have This
(and why you should never drink a bucket of booze)
I almost drowned in my 20's
My Girlfriend (now wife) and I were backpacking around southeast Asia at the time.
One of our extended stays was in a place called Luang Prabang. It was quiet.
The TV show “Friends” played 24/7 on every television for miles to keep us company.
One day we decided to get on a big giant tube and float down a river in Vang Viang.
Every 5 minutes or so we’d get out of our tube and grab a beverage at one of the bars.
The “drinks”…
(if you can even call them that)
… were basically a big toy sand bucket filled will various types of alcohol.
It hit you fast.
One bucket was more than enough.
And I wish I could say that’s all I had.
SIDE NOTE:
It’s insanely irresponsible to give tourists giant buckets of alcohol while they float down a river in an oversized inner tube without a life jacket.
At one point my girlfriend’s sandal slipped off and started floating away.
So…
I decided to be a hero…
Being a hero is hard when you’re intoxicated and can’t see straight.
