I feel like that's the only place he'd actually thrive, getting shithoused, being an obnoxious perv, and doing awful karaoke is basically 90% of Adams schtick.

I'm curious how he'd handle it as AFAIK he's not actually a drunk, or even the type to talk about getting shitfaced.

 

[Tism the Return II]

So it's like how people used to invite their bosses over for dinner?

It's more like the boss holds everyone hostage and they must drink while treating him as a God because that's how it's been done since forever so we gotta do it.

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about Japan to dispute it.

Okay but they won't tell chibi no. Because of the implication.

From memory any time he's posted about getting drunk it's usually drinking some fruity queer girly shit. Somebody else can comment on how the Japanese view men drinking sweet bitch drinks while everybody else is have a tall cold one, but as an American here sets himself up for ridicule lol

If he goes out drinking with the office it's usually down to beer, sake or shouchu. Sure you can get frou frou girly drinks in a lot of places but the Japanese tend not to be into sweet drinks so Chibi is going to be out of luck.

With this in mind, how strong is Japanese beer compared to America? I've heard American beer is piss weak so I'd guess what little tolerance Chibi might have for alcohol still won't do him much good in the face of weathered salarymen downing pints.

Asahi Super Dry and the other most popular brands are around 5%. So basically the same as regular lagers in the US.

Cool idea, move to Africa where they hunt and kill white people for magic ingredients. Pay for everything with $ too so everyone will know to rob you.
Seriously go for somewhere like Poland where it's safe and the dollar exchange rate is about 1:4, so you can make a living from about 500 youtube bucks up.

The more I see people talking about Poland, the more I want to cash in my free dual citizenship ticket for them.

As long as you stay away from big cities where cost of living and rent are about 5x higher than the rest of the country. Home prices are absolutely insane lately, everyone wants to be a landlord and live off others paying them rent, feudal-style.

Maybe it's because of my college days, or the occasional round at the end of the day, but I found a lot of the Japanese alcohol to be weaker compared to the American stuff. They do get really happy when I'm around because I drink a lot more than the usual person though, so I guess it's a win win in the end.

"Come on, Peters! Drink up and live a little!"

"Sir, I've been sober for five months at this point."

"DO IT OR YOU'RE FIRED!"

Beer is more or less the same strength the world over and the idea that American beer is piss weak is actually not true... except if you look at it in the right way.

Spoiler: beer sperging

We're special in the sense that we measure alcohol in beer by weight whereas everywhere else it's measured by volume. This is why, let's say, Canadian beer is 5% alcohol but American beer is something like 3.2%. So people see the percentage and think. "it's weaker" which it isn't. It's the same strength but just measured differently.

Then there's the problem with cheap mass produced swill like Budweiser. It's lighter in taste than other beers. As such to somebody used to a stronger tasting beer it comes off as thin and weak. This is why something like "light beer" can mean all sorts of different things based on the maker. It could mean less alcohol so only 4% by volume. It could be lighter in color. It could be lighter in taste. It could be lighter in calories. Or it could more than one. It's basically marketing at that point but people read "light" and think it means what they feel a light beer has to be.

Japanese beer is beer. I have no issues with Japanese beer as it tastes like beer. What you need to be careful of however is "happoshu" or "sparkling liquor". It's a low-malt beer like beverage that was created to skirt a law. The Japanese government wanted to tax beer by the amount of malt it had. So brewers came out with low-malt beer like beverages that kinda sorta taste like beer but they have different ingredients to give it that malty taste. Happoshu is evil and the hangovers from it are the stuff of nightmares.

The stuff that I like to drink ranges from light with a decent alcohol content to dark and heavy beers that would cause a Japanese salaryman to stumble before he finishes the damn bottle. Asahi is pretty good though, but I don't get it that often.

 

[BingBongDingDong]

Ive had some sapporo beer once and it was okay but it was the same 5% shit beer most peopel like. Good to know I could drink slants under the table jsut by my practice with high ABV and being like 2x the sized human.

Since we're on the (off-)topic, what do the Nips think of Guinness, or stouts in general?

My assumption would be it's too dense for their constitution but I remember the one time I tried sake it knocked me backwards, although I don't think I was drinking it right.

They're popular, not as popular as some of the other brands mentioned here, and a few that aren't (Suntory to name one), but they got popular because it's a new experience. Lagers are still the most popular, but stouts are getting up there. My only problem with stouts is they tend to get weird flavors and ingredients.

but I remember the one time I tried sake it knocked me backwards, although I don't think I was drinking it right.

Sake tends to run very alcoholic for it's content. I think it's three or four times higher than the usual beer, maybe more and it's like twice as high as your typical wine. Most foreigners think it's light weight because it's "rice wine" but it's actually not a wine, and it will absolutely sneak up on you and then hit hard if you aren't prepared for it. Soju (basically the Korean version of Sake) is a bit stronger than Sake and it does the same thing.
