I LOVE Sake, as us Gaijins think of Sake. I've been told that the word/term Sake for a Japanese more mean like "just-any-alcohol, no matter beer or vodka"?
Aww that's mean

mmm, that's true. The word 'Sake' can sometimes be used to refer to any alcohol. A menu might have 'sake' as a heading, then list all the alcohol available, and then list actual sake as 'nihonshuu' 日本酒.
