That was your biggest mistake right there, why would you drink possibly the worst beer to come out of Asia? The only times I've ever been sickly hungover while drinking in Thailand were the couple of times I mistakenly thought it was a good idea to drink Chang. Maybe if you drank Leo you would have won your "race"
As for my swimming experience, grew up camping at lakes and swimming a lot every summer, but then got fat and never wanted to swim without a shirt as a result (and as I didn't want to be one of "those" guys, I just never swam). But after getting myself in better shape and being on vacation in SE Asia I decided to get in the water once again. I chose cliff diving in the Philippines as my first real test though, which looking back probably wasn't the smartest idea. Wasn't until I jumped off the cliff that the thought "I hope I can still swim" passed through my head
