BANGKOK — Head out the foam and froth with a globally valid excuse next week.

The first Friday of August is International Beer Day, and several Bangkok bars are pouring out offers and events involving booze and games.

International Beer Day was started by a group of beer boosters in Santa Cruz, California. The occasion later has grown to be celebrated in more than 200 cities today.
