I can’t drink alcohol
| This page contains the Japanese phrase: I can’t drink alcohol. |
| This is a social divider. If you don’t drink alcohol with your workmates, you’re not part of the team. However, I ride motorbikes and have managed to avoid the drinking binges by riding my bike to the after work festive occasions. This has still ostracized me a little but people understand the zero tolerance for drinking and driving in Japan so it’s somewhat accepted. Nevertheless, If you say you can’t drink alcohol you had better have a good reason! |
