Again, I think it depends on the situation. In certain social circles, overdrinking is encouraged in Japan, but I have never seen an foreigner held to a different standard than a native Japanese. In fact, I have never seen anyone who is on two feet, keeps their hands and mouth to themselves, and has kept the contents of their stomach in its proper place judged at all.
Walking on eggshells? Where do you live?
