I wasnāt sure, but that makes sense. Sadly, Iām not old enough to eat yet.
How is it in Japan, though. Iāve heard that itās not difficult for teenagers to be served alcohol there. (Not that I believe you are (or arenāt) a teenager).

i am old enough for the american law at least as a foreigner its very easy. they never and really never ask you. you just have to push a button at the cashier that confirm that you are over 20. so you have to be 20. if its that easy for teenager i really dont knowā¦ but to be honest i have the feeling that japanese are drinking just one beer and are game over (and thats not just a feeling) XD on the other side, they also have alc called āstrong zeroā with 9%. quite good stuff
its always quite funny, because in Germany you can already drink alc with 18, and with 16 alc with 3% or less. so every semester when new japanese students are coming to my home university in Germany, we have to take care of the young japanese under 20 lol they often exaggerate as they can drink it legal.
Certainly some Japanese are intolerant of alcohol due to genetic factors. Others, like my wife, could easily drink a bottle of wine and be ready for more.
with 16 you can drink every kind of beer, or did that change recently?
They have alcohol vending machines donāt they? It seems it must be fairly easy. Lol
I think they need to show their ID or some sort of card? One of my JP friends mentioned that once, but I donāt remember exactly how it was like. Nevertheless, the impression I got is that theyāre not really that common.
I thought you could just walk up and buy it. Idk Iāve never been there, maybe Iāll research it.
the cake is a lie
No that I know. Every kind of beer and wine as well.
Okay guys, how exactly is the proper way to join one of these groups?
Yep you have to put your å čرčؼ into the machine. So at the vending machines itās impossible to get alc if you donāt have a friend over 20 xD
@MikaelBaka just edit the first post of this thread and write your name, speed and level in a group
Thatās interesting. When I lived in Japan many years ago, there was no such thing. Every liquor store had a vending machine or two that you could use after the shop closed. You just inserted your 200å and enjoyed your beer or One Cup Sake.
Thereās a little green edit widget next to the top post under the explanation. You click that and then click Edit Wiki. Then add yourself where you fit.
Thatās really interesting. Maybe they changed it. Or I just never see the vending machines without the ID thing
The only type of machine I have seen that require a permit are the one selling cigarettesā¦
For alcohol, I donāt think thereās such limitationā¦ (Or they changed it recently and I never noticed).
When I was in Japan last year, it didnāt seem like they took IDs at the vending machines for beer
Maybe depends where you are. Who knows
When I was in Japan, I was a little under 21 (but probably looked even younger), and I bought a cup of sake at the konbini. Nobody asked me for an IDā¦ Guess because Iām a foreigner and the lady in the shop spoke no English whatsoever.
My dear native speaker!
Is there a good synonym for āfordā ęø ?
I never heard this word before and even in my mother tongue I almost never using this word.
So for me itās quit hard to remember.
