I'm in Thailand now. There's a lot of Chang and Leos tipped back all over, even casually on the stoop of 7-Eleven, but it's more about the sentiment of not needing to have a drink. The only time it's remarked is when people say it's odd for a Westerner to not go to the bars (which is annecdotal but indicative of how Western culture is perceived here). It was a bit different in Laos though where Beer Lao can sometimes be cheaper than water and is sort of a national pride and probably most well-known export.
