That’s a fair point. The way they tolerate public drunkenness over there is genuinely shocking to my sensibilities. It’s not even a matter of tolerance, it’s a matter of ENFORCED goddamn inebriation. Motherfuckers have to go get shitfaced with their boss, or else their career will go down the toilet.
Like…can you imagine if they did a version of The Office, in Japan? Every episode would end with the whole cast going down to the bar and getting sloppy fuckin’ drunk. Funny for the first few episodes, but then it would just get sad.
It’s just basic math. If some 15-year-olds start drinking here, some 12-year-olds are going to start drinking on your side of the pond.
