well that is weird because from my experience, it is actually hard to find a japanese (young males) that don't drink. all of my classmates from my previous high school (高等専門学校), drink beer like water. whenever there is a party, everyone drinks and i have to remind them everytime that i don't drink when they offer to pour beer into my empty glass.

i have been living in japan for more than 5 years now, so i have got used to this culture, and having to say it everytime.
