I've been to countless bars and izakayas in the company of people not 20 and no one was carded. The same people regularly bought booze from conbinis and never got carded. I've had several minor friends who were so drunk in public the cops actually did stop them and write down their gaijin card information. Nothing ever happened.
I'm not saying no one ever gets in trouble, but it's really not the super crack down you think it is.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
