Let's Speak English #125 - Kanpai Time

>There's a lot of interesting factoids about Japanese drinking parties that I don't have space for in my doofy journal comic, but here's a few more:

>Everybody starts with beer for the first cheers, which sucks because I hate beer and it tastes like peeps.

>It's usually rude to refill your own glass, so everyone does it for each other. But note that your buddies will do it endlessly, so at some point you have to give up emptying your glass or you WILL DIE.

>Luckily these usually happen at an Izakaya and involve lots of delicious food, so be sure to drink on a full stomach FOR YER HEALTH. Stuff that face! You already paid for it!!

>And my Japanese friends insist there's no difference between Shitfaced Mary and Sober Mary. That's just the kinda gal I am~?

>peeps
... like marshmallow peeps? that's.. not what beer tastes like.

LSE is one of my favorite reaction face sources

Did I use bishounen correctly?

Shib,forgot my image

Maybe Japenese beer does.

I think it may be a cute slang word for piss?

Drunk Mary best Mary?

She probably taste alcohol differently or Japanese beer is sweet

God I love her huge nose

It's so magnificent

Thanks a lot guys, Mary-Sensei stopped drawing herself cute.

and then they fuck?

It really isn't. It's just really light, weak beer. I was a complete non-drinker when I went and I could down almost comically-sized mugs they gave me without issue.

What? She is cute as fuck in almost every panel

>It's usually rude to refill your own glass, so everyone does it for each other. But note that your buddies will do it endlessly, so at some point you have to give up emptying your glass or you WILL DIE.

man, I hate that everything in japan has a load of special ways to do something or else you will upset some fucker.

beats thinking for yourself, right?

...

Didn't she quit her day job to become a webcomic artist

>these traditions are bad because I didn't grow up with them

I've had sake that tastes like candy, but never beer.

>Wasting liquor because drinking etiquette makes it both rude to pour your own drink and rude to tell people to stop pouring you drinks

Huh. So that's why you're supposed to leave food on your dish every time you eat or else you're gonna keep being served forever.

>not already having friends that want to kill you and will continuously pour you shots even after you tell them to stop

In a previous thread it was mentioned that they tax the shit out of you if you stay longer than a certain length of time.

Hopefully, all of them...

Useful in specific situations.

yes

How much do you really think is being wasted?

I mean I remember being a poorfag college kid, but you just sound like you're from a third world country where alcohol is some rare and precious resource.

we also hate the traditions we grew up with
the difference is these people don't have the balls to rebel. or rather, that if they did, they would literally be shunned to the point of becoming a nonentity. yknow like we were as kids, but even in adulthood.

can someone crop a fetus somewhere in there?

But they didn't fug in that manga. They just played strip poker until she passed out.

>drink whole glass
>hold it over your head to get every last drip out
>lick it clean to make sure you don't waste anything
>"Wow user must be really thirsty, I'll pour him another"
>repeat because you can't stand to leave your glass half full

>It's usually rude to refill your own glass, so everyone does it for each other.

I wonder if this is a East Asian thing in general? I dated a half-Chinese girl years and years ago and when we went to a restaurant her father wouldn't stop filling up my tea.

>repeat because you can't stand to leave your glass half full

If you don't drink in Japan they will be shocked at you and can't wrap their minds around it. It will also be really obvious they they want to try and get you to drink anyways but are too beta to disagree with you so they just end up acting really awkward and fun to laugh at.

You're doing it wrong.
Shop it into Loss.

Japanese work Drinking parties are kinda fucked up, its treated as some sort of obligation rather than just going out and getting drinks with your work mates and ends up being just another reason why wage slaves have no time to spend with their families leading to fractured home lives.

I hate that chinese custom, where they are obligated to pretend to offer you things under the knowledge that your part in this ritual is to refuse gracefully so everyone looks good, its so damm dishonest and pointless, though if we are talking about pointless two-faced behavior being considered what is 'polite' Japan is all over that shit as well.

Fourth panel is cuuuute.

What happens if you accept?

Take the pen.

>or Japanese beer is sweet
It actually is.

The best I can do without giving a shit

they secretly hold it against you for the rest of the night

I don't think the rules are the same for food. Otherwise everyone would be America sized over there.

They sound really easy to take advantage of.

Do they just stop offering you things?

Would tradition prohibit that?

Third world countries are full of alcohol. How else will they forget their child that died of diarrhea... Or the one they sold for 50 dollars, or the one that was killed by the police...

Maybe he was thirsty and wanted you to pour some tea for him.

glorious

>European genes make me taller than Japs
That's so incredibly fat and American.

Who the fuck is "we"?

and let's not forget Mary Cagle's other achievement

>it's not lewd at all

But it is super cute.

i can't fap to cute

Then there's something wrong with you, and I pity you.

This is why im glad japanese breweries jumped on the craft beer bandwagon. The regularly available beers just tasted like Coors or Budweiser (and roughly as weak).

Although when your parties include several craft bombers and hard liquor, you look like a drinking titan when you attend the ones with light beers.

you're not trying hard enough

Is stating your opinions online also against nippon etiquette?
You sound mad

How often do these things happen? Is it a weekly thing?

what manga?

Does this manga perpetuate the cake myth?

glorious

i feel like this is porn.
source?

Gotcha, famalam.
