cirrhosis might be on the rise as well with the increase of alcohol consumption...

It's the beginning of the end, I tell you. It won't be long before a night out in Tokyo looks like a night out in Newcastle; with feral hen parties, wearing nowt but thongs in the middle of winter, preying on unsuspecting police officers. Humanity has declined!

It feels good to have idols I like who drink not to mention share preferences in said drinks.

Well, if "all" the young Japanese men are busy being Otaku, the women have to keep themselves busy with something.

Though maybe this will help with the birth increase.

This brings me back to how Mitsuki Hayase from Rumbling Hearts spent some time at a bar to bring up life's problems while having a drink.

While having a few sake parties can be good every now and then, I can't help but think that with drinking being on the rise, the police and the ambulance are going to become more active than ever, albeit not in a good way.

Not too surprising since Japan's other alcoholic drinks are getting watered down.

What is the point of posting this? This is not good, it's a sign that japanese women are becoming like western women.

Edited to keep it friendly. Errinundra.

That's a shame. I prefer Asian in both looks and personalities.

Pretty sure the drinking women in xxxHolic were not young (well, other than in looks).

First the historical samurai phase, and now this. It's interesting that that demo is taking on hobbies more traditionally associated with oyaji.

Re-emerging would be more accurate. Wink
