Drinking culture

I thought it was in the European blood to drink alot, but Asians drink alot too. Maybe not so in Singapore (except for my block in hall), but its very obvious in Japan. Ever since the samurai days when Japanese drank Sake, they've invented all types of alcohol. Not the 96% alcohol that you find in Europe, but nice drinks with alcoholic content of around 25%.

Occasions when they drink? Anytime, EVERYDAY. Be it BBQ, izakaya (little hut where working adults drop by for a drink after work and for men to hide from their wives and families), bars, clubs, restaurants, and Mac? That one I'm not too sure but I won't be surprised.

Izakayas are relatively cheap places you can get your daily dose of Asahi (beer), mixes, whisky and Sochiu / Nihon shiu (Japanese wine).



This vase is used to serve warm sake. My friend says the sake tastes like banana. I don't like it too but it gets you nice and woozy.



If you decide to drink at home (much cheaper), its only 20 bucks for 4 liters! Nice. Too bad I don't drink. Drinks anyone?
