Teen drinking in anime
Lee Ratner
Many teen sitcoms/dramas like Saved by the Bell that aired on
American TV had at least one episode dealing with underage drinking.
This episode was always very moralistic and always showed the evils of
teen drinking. Usually this involved drunk driving but sometimes it
involved thinks like blood alcohol poisoning or sleeping with somebody
you normally wouldn't. I can't think of any show where the only result
of underage drinking was that a few teenagers did some really
embarrasing things.
How many anime depict teenage characters drinking alcohol? Do
any depict in the moralistic manner that such things are usually
depicted on American television or is the Kimagure Orange Road rote,
the worst think that happens is that the drunk teen does something
embarrasing more common?
Anime with underage drinking that I know of include: Kimagure
Orange Road and Koko wa Greenwood.

I don't remember how many anime titles do, but more manga titles do. I
know that in [b]Negima![/b], there are a few drinking incidents in the
manga but I don't remember if those made it into the anime. Tenma-chan
has a sleep-over and breaks out the booze to loosen the tounges of her
friends. In the anime, that became barley tea.

I think that you are trying to compare societal "apples and oranges" here,
but I'll stick to anime and avoid going off topic into areas in which I am a
knowledgeable amateur, but still an amateur. In Japanese sitcom/drama anime
that I've seen, teenaged drinking doesn't usually show up as an issue or as
a "horrible example". More typically, alcohol intoxication is depicted as a
problem of lower-class adult males. A couple of good examples are the father
and grandfather in "Hanada Shounen-shi". Teenage consumption of alcohol is
more often shown as a part of family societal rituals, in situations which
would be very familiar to many European viewers. For example, 15 year old
Hibari in "Stop! Hibari-kun" shares a toast of sake with his father on the
anniversary of the death of Hibari's mother; it's a coming-of-age
recognition of Hibari by his father.

Quite a few, but usually it's played off for laughs, and there's almost
NEVER a plot which involves "the evils of alcohol abuse". It apparently
isn't seen as such a huge social problem in Japan that they feel the need to
make commentary on it in animation.
That, or animation producers just don't care.

A teen might be able to drink legally in Japan. Drinking age used to be
eighteen but now it is probably twenty-one in all the States. I seem to
remember that in France the age is about sixteen or younger if you are with
your family. Anyone here care to update the information?

Usually it's to comedic effect. Some examples that come to my mind
are:
Patlabor: The show makes much of Noa's tremendous tolerance for
alcohol to the point of even drinking Kanuka under the table. Her
father owns a liquor store so Noa developed her tolerance for booze
early.
Kiko-chan Smile: Five year old Kiko-chan gets smashed on sake
celebrating the New Year with her parents.
Rurouni Kenshin: Yahiko attempts to demonstrate his adulthood by
drinking sake during a party and ends up passing out.
Sailor Moon: Usagi gets blasted at a ball.
Escaflowne: Hitomi gets toasted on wine after Millerna teases her.
Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran: Lady Miao frequently indulges and gets in
all matter of trouble because of it.
El Hazard: Sheera Sheera drinks her sorrows away over Makoto and gets
scolded by Fujisawa for under aged drinking.

To add to this:
In Meitantei Conan, in the two-part episode where Hattori Heiji is
introduced, Conan is suffering from a bad cold, and Heiji gives him a shot
of a very potent Chinese whiskey. He gets a little drunk, but only
briefly...and his cold gets worse.
By some chance, this particular whiskey, combined with a high fever,
temporarily changes Conan back into his teenage self, Kudou Shinichi. After
the case is solved and he has reverted to Conan, he decides that drinking
more of the same whiskey might cure him permanently. After a few false
starts, he finally gets hold of the stuff and drinks most of the bottle.
All he gets for his trouble is one HELL of a hangover.

I've heard of all-vending-machine specialty shops in Japan. Sounds
nippy, but I wouldn't want to eat dinner there. And no, I didn't see
any of the fabled ones that apparently sell used schoolgirls' panties
during my visit, but then again, I wasn't really looking for them.
My first drink there was a Cup of Sake out of a vending machine. Well,
it helped me clear out some of the 10-yen coins I made my first time
busking there. The guest house I stayed at had a beer vending machine
on the ground floor as well. So those definitely exist there.
Watson
Who hates beer, but did indulge in the coffee vending machines quite a
few times. He still drank more alcohol in a month there than he usually
does in a year.

underage people drinking never depict "the evils or dangers of
alcohol." However, there are a lot of anime out there and at least one
probably goes against the grain and shows the "evils of alcohol."

Yes, but were they DRUNK, or just STUPID? (No, seriously, were they drunk? I
absolutely refuse to watch that movie, on the grounds that it's TOO
lowbrow...all I needed to hear was "dude sticks his dick in a pie" and I
knew I would never, EVER go ANYWHERE *NEAR* that movie.)

They outlawed the pantsu vendors in 1999. There's still a few in the back
alleys of the seedier parts of the country, but you're NOT going to find
them in more well-heeled areas of Tokyo. Hell, I doubt you'll even find them
in Roppongi.

It'd be wonderful if we had hot canned coffee vending machines here in the

They can't very well stop it. Given that the major vendors are
Coca-Cola and Pepsi I think those two can hold off Starbucks if
necessary. It's bound to happen eventually if they become convinced
there is a market here. They keep expanding their product lines, and
we even see Coke having their Coca-Cola Black product.

I think it was Virgin Fleet, where the boytoy is tied up and
Sake forced down his throat. In the dub, the rescue team
nurse states that he could have died from alcohol poisoning;
this is completely an invention, and not stated in the Japanese.
It seems likely to me that getting someone drunk and fucking
them over would be a hentai scenario rather than a SatAm
cartoon.

Then again, this is a recurring theme in Samurai dramas,
isn't it? Getting an enemy drunk and trying to kill him while
he's weak? Isn't that how Susanoo defeated Orochi? But
someone would have to be pretty pathetic to use such
methods on children.

April 1999 was when I was there, and pretty much all in Osaka. I saw
one that looked like it dispensed new undies of different varieties in

Being an old poop, I don't really identify with current US taboos.
When I was growing up (in Wisconsin-Germans, Swiss andScandinavians),
parents gave the kids beer at a very young age. When some friends and
I got busted for drinking at 15, my dad chewed out the cops. From
there I went into the Navy which at least during the Vietnam era was
sort of a four year long binge when we weren't in the combat zone.
(some guys just switched to pot there.) Don't recall anyone getting
checked for an ID in Yokosuka. (Or any other non-US port for that
matter even though half the guys on the carrier were probably under
21.)
My main recollection of the difference between folks from states with
18 drinking ages and those with 21 was it seemed funny that guys that
old were acting like fools the way we did at a much younger age.

I'm not that hardcore yet. I'm pretty happy with stuff bought in the
supermarket, and store it in the fridge. It still tastes pretty good
and, most importantly, kicks my ass awake.

I have wondered. I think it's because Japanese
society expects that when people get a job with
a company after leaving college, they will stay
with that company thereafter. Whereas in the US,
staying with the same company is career poison,
because it's the guys being paid to switch who get
all the opportunities. So the "Circles" of Japanese
college aren't intended to last beyond college;
while a frat serves to provide contacts who can
be worked in the future. Therefore, Circles don't
have the same emphasis on getting people
mixed into criminal behaviour for which they
can be blackmailed later.

Love Hina manga has Naru getting drunk after they fail their exams, but in
the anime scene she's drinking pints of oolong tea instead.

I don't prefer much canned versions of food,
so I doubt that'll change my mind.
Furthermore, I hardly drink coffee,
and I choose wisely on what few coffee I drink. ;p

IIRC, I've read that Japanese campus life just isn't the same as
American campus life with their spacious univs and abundant dorms
where students from all over can socialize much outside of class halls.
Ya can't have frats and sororities without Greek houses too!

In Japan, you may get in jail when you drink, drive and cause

drink and drive. But you don't hear many ads of "don't drink
and drive" on the Japanese stations while FEN (U.S army's
radio in Japan) constantly broadcasts the phrase.
As for umeshu, it's very easy to made.
Put 1.8litres of liquor (35% alcohole), 1.2kg of ume [green
plum] and 1kg of rock sugar in to a glass barrel. Wait for
3 - 6 months. When you drink it, put some ice cubes into
a glass, purr some water and fill the glass with umeshu.
In my case, I drink umeshu prepared last summer. When
serving to children, it should be divided by 4 - 5 times water
plus some sugar. Umeshu is cold sour sweet drink with rich
flavor.

I'd rather have canned coffee than coffee served to me by some bored, angry,
resentful twentysomething Starbucks employee.
The canned coffee, I can at least be reasonably sure hasn't been spit or

Dunno how it is in Japan, but in the US,
a DUI casualty and a civil lawsuit could cause
your family to lose the house.
US courts are not very forgiving about that, bowing or no.
Plus, the loss of the driver's license is more critical
as public transportation is more inconvenient,
especially in less dense areas that make up most of the country.

Well, there's a fair bit of drinking in /Ai Yori Aoshi/, where most of the
principal characters are about nineteen or twenty.
As with the examples others have cited, it is usually done for comedic
effect. In one episode, Tina Foster has a bottle of purple "mystery booze"
so strong that Kaoru passes out after drinking a single glass. Tina gets
wasted on beer, and the two wind up sleeping in the same bed. The purple
booze appears in another episode, where it has the same effect on Miyabi.
(There's also a chapter in the AiAo manga where the 14-year-old Mayu gets
drunk, but again, I believe it was played for laughs.)

No, no, campus life. Frat life is just an extreme of it.

Last year, we had an employee who was boasting about
how wasted he was when he outran the cops. (He's not
with us anymore.) The problem I see in America is that
people aren't at all careful about not driving while impaired;
they are only careful about trying not to get caught doing it.
Then again, it's said Greene County was the first in the
nation to institute mandatory jail time for first offense DUI,
so maybe the problem is worse here than it is elsewhere.

That's Raine, age uncertain and short to boot,

According to Lurker, they were shut down not long after my visit. Then
again, considering that my money was pretty tight over there, too, I
probably wouldn't be able to afford to buy a pair of the mothers anyway.
Probably would have just taken a photo of the machine and moved on.
Besides, even if I could have afforded them, how would I have explained
them to Canada Customs, esp. considering some of the manga they took off me?

Pure novelty value, that's why. Wouldn't even take 'em out of the pack
they'd presumably be in. If people came around asking about visiting
Japan, at one point, I'd hold up the pack and say something like, "Dig
this. Out of a vending machine," and watch the looks on their faces.
As it is, I didn't look for any, didn't find any, and had a great old
time in Osaka anyway.

As a joke to trip other people out with. I've helped a very busy female
friend of mine do her laundry at her apartment laundromat while she's
been doing other things to put her place in order, and I can say with
all honesty that my impulse when I get my hands on a female undergarment
is to--throw it into the washer/dryer/basket as needed (she does the
folding and putting away), just like when I handle my own clothes.

Yes she does. She could say "The best contraceptive is the word no,
but it is usually the hardest method to use..."

Has she said no, she would surely have been killed.

By whom?
Was anything ever said about Yuusuke's actual father? I'm not talking about
Raizen, who seemed to have been during the Warring States Era. He's an
ancestor rather than Yuusuke's direct father.

I haven't actually seen the later episodes, but,
according to what I can remember from the guidebook,
his father was a demon.
-Galen
elsie
You're thinking of Raizen, who wasn't his father but his ancestor. Raizen
slept with a woman in the warring states era and got her pregnant and
Yuusuke was his descendent. After meeting the woman, Raizen refused to eat
another human. When Yuusuke entered demon world to follow Sensui and
awakened his own demon powers, Raizen discovered his descendent and made him
an offer he couldn't refuse--to be the heir to his kingdom in demon world.

Maybe it's due to a childhood love of The Three Musketeers, but I have a
great fondness for shonen fighting shows, and I like the characters.
Actually, in some ways, Yusuke's band matches up well to D'Artagnan and the
musketeers: Yusuke as D'Artagnan, Kuwabara as Porthos, Kurama as Aramis and
Hiei as Athos. Besides, it's a good show to watch when I'm mad at people.

Well I mean I could understand if you were buying bras!

I dunno about doing other people's laundry though.

Nah, they're just repressing it. Even countries like France, which we tend
to see as having an enlightened attitude, ends up having to deal with
alcoholism as an issue.

Which was always funny to me, as I grew up in a family in which alcohol was
taboo for *everyone*, not just the kids. Somewhere I have temperance
songbooks I inherited from my grandmother. Nobody in my family drinks
alcohol, so I have no desire to.

And you want to talk taboo about alcohol, just try to offer a drink to
one of the followers of The Prophet. Muslims make Southern Baptists
look like hedonists when it comes to prohibition.

My aunt and uncle liked to go on bus tours, and one year they went
somewhere, St. Louis I think, where the tour included the Anheiser-Busch
factory. My grandmother was absolutely horrified at the thought they might

That and 16 year old teenagers don't usually get a car for there birthday
in Japan. Being drunk and riding the subway train home isn't quite the
same taking your life in your hands and putting everyone else at risk
experience.

Although Japan does have the higher youth suicide rate so apparently
the presumed less restrictive view of drinking doesn't help relax them
any.
Ethan Hammond
know there is smoking but I think Bunshchi drinks
sometimes as well. There is also underage sexor!
What a world view O Great has created!
S.t.A.n.L.e.E
Besides, drinking after work with your boss and coworkers is
pretty much a job requirement there, so need plenty of practice.
Just don't miss the last train - it's not a 24-hr subway! ^_^
