The law.

>>70694939
So don't show them explicitly drinking.

>>70694938
You usually need a dedicated card to buy something from such a distributor if it's in a public area (same goes for tobacco distributor).
But if it's in a hotel any kid could buy it.

>>70694938
I wonder how Nip beer taste like

>>70694941
They do, all the time, plenty of characters magically get drunk on liqueur chocolates, despite them not containing any alcohol, or not enough to get someone drunk at least

>>70694944
Or they get drunk because somebody accidentally mixed up the drinks.

>>70694943

Japanese peoples livers can't process alcohol very well, so they can probably get drunk on liquor chocolate.

I was buying lottery tickets and scratch offs from lottery machines since I was 15.

>>70694943
Dry and kind of ricey, with little flavor because it's mostly export lagers. On the whole I prefer to drink sake or tea with meals when offered the choice, and depending on the restaurant.

Their whiskey is actually pretty good though, and the new gin being produced in Kyoto is phenomenal.

>>70694943
Their average beer is pretty good compared to mass-consumption beers from other countries. But they all taste more or less the same and I've never found actually tasty japanesd beer like you can find in Belgium for example.

That said, my personal favorite Nipponese drink is umeshu.

Craft beer is popular among yougner drinkers in Tokyo, same as in any urban place on the planet. Sadly it is the same "try our famous local IPA" crowd you find everywhere.

The salarymen drink an obscene amount of Suntory beer when they get off work.

>>70694943
Jap beer is good. Expensive as fuck for some reason, but tastes like heaven when cold on a hot summer day. Though I've tried it outside of japan and I thought it was pretty bland, don't know if there's just a huge difference between export or whatever.

>>70694987
I've mostly drink umeshu from bars or home-made when I was in Japan.
When I tried buying some outside of Japan I've only managed to found cheap shit that doesn't taste anything like what I was used to (so, probably made in China?).

Do the Japs really have a taste for West Coast IPAs? Huh.

>>70694993

There are limitless number of local craft beers too. Lots and lots of them. But they bring in the trendy ones as well.

>>70694992
Good stuff. Kyoto produces it for JDM, including my favorite bottle, but I don't think any decent makers export it. A lot of "Japanese" liquor in the States is actually from California.
>>70694993
I can't fucking get away from it, anywhere I go. If I wanted Stone I'd drive to the brewery and fill a growler.
>>70694990
I've also seen a lot of "craft beer" at convenience stores too, with different brews by the familiar brands in each shop. Not much difference, but sometimes you get a weird can that has an appreciable difference from the standard.

Actual craft brewing is something you kinda have to go out of the way to get. For example a bar in Sapporo had a pale on that was conditioned with agarwood chips... but if it weren't for the insistence of a friend I'd have never known about the place.

>>70694982

If memory serves it was from Kitagawa Honke brewery, Kyoto: I'd recognize the bottle in a heartbeat. Though anything that's not basic Choya or some shit in a box should be at least good.

Wow your life sounds fucking miserable.

other than that there general selection is very so so...sapporo is ok, asahi is also meh

their whisky is pretty good, particularly Hibiki and Yamazaki

Age: 20 y/n

Just hit yes and walked off, no ID, nothing. Fucking great country.

(Apparently the reason for this is that asking someone for ID is DOUBTING ZEHR GRORIOUS HONOR and frowned upon or some shit)

>>70694943

Takara is fine, but a little too saccharine for my liking.

>>70695012
Yoichi was absolutely divine before they stopped doing age statements due to a lack of barrels laid down 12-20 years ago.Their NAS are younger on average now than they used to be, and the flavors just aren't the same. Nikka owns Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, and so their cask blend draws on the same fresh peat you got from Yoichi single malts. Unfortunately you can't get the cask in the US because American import laws actually don't allow 500ml bottles of hard alcohol, and that's the only size it comes in. But it's very popular in western Europe, even in Scotland.

>>70694943
Asahi is great. It's my go-to beer for any situation.

Sapporo isn't as great.

I don't buy beer from a vending machine but pretty sure you need to slap some ID that shows you're at a legal age before you can buy there.

>>70695033
Still doesn't jive for me. Central Europe never really won me over because their ales aren't as good as the ones you can get in the US if you know where to look, and they don't do sours. It's just a critical lack of creativity and variety, same as how Germany has been kind of fucked for me.

The industry "standards" really do drag the average down though.

>>70695031
It's honestly not the worst I've ever had: that would be a Tahitian beer that literally tasted like soap. But it's pretty fucking close.

>>70695032
Izakayas also serve it in tiny glassware.

>>70695036
Nope. But generally speaking the ones that vend alcohol are in places you can't get to easily if you're underaged: like in hotels, or University dining halls. Haven't seen booze in a machine outside those places.

>>70694954
Only if you buy from grocery store. ID check is literally "press green button if you are over 20 years old".
Only police is allowed to ask ID

>>70694967
I believe you mean "cleave them in twain"

>>70694943
Delicious, crisp and goes down easy. Doesn't taste like sour piss like American cheap beer, and only "muh frothy bitter hops! Muh stout! Muh IPA"fags will pretend they lack flavor, but those guys like drinking shit anyways.

What's the worst beer you've ever had? I got some Trader Joe's "exclusive" that tasted like pure soy sauce. I don't remember the name of it and don't want to, all I know is the case was teal.

>>70695060
It wasn't the worst tasting beer I've ever had, but the first time I ever drank Rolling Rock, I had the hiccups for a full 24 hours. I fell asleep and woke up with them. It was miserable.

>>70695058
The answer is this, but it's kinda patchy. Newer machines have ID scanners, but alcohol vending machines are slowly disappearing due to 24-hour convienence stores.

However, it's VERY rare to get carded, even if someone looks underage. The primary reason is it could embarrass someone, which is of course a taboo in Japan. So it's all on an honor system.

I have sources if you don't believe me.

>>70695054
Which one did you try? I'd tell you to try to get your hands on a Westvleteren 12, but it's extremely hard to get outside of Belgium. My personal favourites are the Rochefort 10, Chimay blue cap, and the Orval one, but they may be hard to find in certain areas. Be sure to chill them at their recommended temps and maybe drink them in their dedicated beer glasses, it makes a world of difference.

>>70695060

What the shit, I must be living in an ass-backwards part of the country. None of the grocery stores in my area or the states next door sell beer.

I had an Oyster Stout that someone bought on a whim and didn't like and tried to dump on me. It was like drinking dirty ocean water flavored with ultra bitter hops and the remnants of week-old seafood scraps brewed with hints of coffee. Never again. The brewery was local- I was tempted to go up to them and tell them to stop making this shit. I ended up drinking it as a punishment when I didn't get things done on time.

>>70695065
There's a brewery near me that makes an oyster beer (pale ale, I think). I see them every year at the annual local beer festival, but I've never actually tried it. I don't know who would find it appealing.

Depends on your state of mind when you're smoking, but being a stimulant just means that it stimulates your nervous system (whereas alcohol depresses it). It doesn't mean it agitates you or anything like that. Most people smoke to calm down.

Caffeine stimulates completely different parts of your brain than nicotine. Nicotine enhances a lot of enjoyable sensations. Your heart rate and blood pressure don't increase noticeably unless you're smoking way too much. You can't actually feel your blood pressure rise, anyway.

>>70695078
Solid, accurate point

Moved from /a/?

Why was this moved here?
Ayy Lmaos out!

>>70695084
Caffeine is a competitive adenosine antagonist and causes mild increases in dopamine levels. I know how the drugs work, I'm asking how nicotine, a drug drug that raises heart rate and BP, and also gets dopamine going, can calm you down. That doesn't make sense.

Also these newfag mods can fuck right off.

somking helps to make you slightly more alert, the calming factor comes with the breathing
most smokers when they want to calm down will take deep drags and pace themselves, this regulating of breathing helps to calm down slightly.
this is why if youre nervous smoking helps, it makes you more focused about the task you need to do, while also helping you to relax.

>>70695268
YES

>>70695414
So despite a boost of adrenaline, smokers essentially use it as a breathing exercise to calm themselves down?
