It was in my mid-thirties that I started finding I had to finish a night of drinking with a glass of water unless I wanted a headache in the morning. Then it was a couple glasses of water, eventually getting to the point where it’s pretty much a 1-for-1 proposition now. Which is okay, I just have to remember. Still, I miss being young.
But that’s not what I’m on about here. It’s what I noticed two weeks ago in Japan: I drank most every night (cause, y’know, Japan), and didn’t have to worry about it. So why is that? I think it’s because Japan is so heavily into heavy drinking, even among the middle-age set, that the country as a whole has adjusted its social and brewing fabric appropriately. Every glass of Japanese beer comes with a built-in glass of water!
Genius!
