Answers to my questions
Q1 Why do you think is the drinking age in Japan 20? Do you think it has a special meaning?
-We have millions of important cellular in our brain and these start dying after becomming the age of 20. And the cellular which has gone dead cannot ever be regenerated.
What alocohol does to our body is, it speeds up the pace of the cellular going dead.
So in Japan, the government set the drinking age as 20, to protect the cellular until they start dying naturally.
Q2 For people under 20: Did you ever drink alchol?
-To tell the truth, yes. In my opinion, nearly every young people had once alcohol ,especially if we consider "甘酒" as alcohol.

-I am under 20
Q.4 Did you ever had a dangerous experience with alcohol?
-No, because I am under 20 and had never alcohol that much.
Q5 Have you ever tested whether you have some allergy to alcohol?
-Yes, I did, in highschool. I have allergie against many things but found out that I am not allergic to alcohol.
Q6 What do you think can we do so that people under 20 understand how dangourous alcohol can be?
-I think adults like teachers should take time to give lessons to students and tell them how dangerous effect alocohl has to our health.
Q7 What do you think is the purpose of drinking alcohol?
- To have communications with others or to become closer to people you don't know well.
Q8 What do you think about age-verifications in Japan?

-I think it was "甘酒" if you consider it as alcohol
Q11 What do you think of japanesn amazake? Do you think it should be banned for people under 20？

Q13 What do you think makes alcohol so attractive?
- I don't know, but maybe for people under 20, it is attractive because through drinking alcohol they can feel being an aduld

-No, absolutely not
Q15 What do you think of the fact that even people under 20 can work at bars ?
-I work at a bar too, but actually I think it is not really good. Because even if a custmer asks you for your recommendation, you cannot tell him because you are not allowed to try the taste. It is a kind of contradiction.
I find this topic to be very difficult as each country has its different drinking age rules. I personally think parents should not make a big deal in restricting alcohol as it makes children more curious. My parents were not so strict about restricting alcohol which, although i did try some out before i turned 20, but because there was not a huge restriction, i did not go on a huge drinking spree as well as not making such a big deal of alcohol. Many of my friends parents are extremely strict in making sure their children only started drinking from the age of 20 which made them crave and want it even more. I think the Japanese drinking age is perfect. Whereas places like Paris and Germany have a very low drinking age rule.

返信削除This is a minor point, but “cellular” is an adjective. The word you needed to use in your blog posting is “cell” or “cells.”
返信削除Many university students may be facing this issue. In Japan, people who are under 20 years old don’t be allowed drinking in a law.
返信削除I agree with you that it’s possible to enjoy university life without drinking. It’s better for both our health and our growth not to drink. Some people claim that they drink to be fun. And, someone may be forced to drink. But, I believe there may be another way to be fun. Just laughing with friends is enjoyable. I want more and more university students rethink about drinking. And I want them to find another true enjoyment.
I think that to make drinking age is necessary for children because if we don’t have, some parents might let their children drink liquor. It has possibility to occur acute alcohol intoxication and to die. But I think that over 20 year old is too old to admit to drink. After entering university, even less than 20 years old student have too many chances to drink liquor. And once they drink, they think that they can drink if adult don’t notice it. So, I don’t think it should be over 20 years old. But if we can enjoy without drinking, it is the best.
返信削除I think this topic is very difficult and many university students face this problem in Japan. In my opinion drinking age should be lowered to 19 in Japan. Of course, it should be needed to restrict to drink alcohol for junior or high school students, but I think it does not need for university students. Many university students have more opportunities to drink alcohol and sometimes they have to drink it by the situation. People grow up as adult at 19 years old, they can judge whether it is bad or good by themselves. Therefore it need not restrict alcohol from the age of 20.
