Sucks to be me, I like my cider.
As with most other countries, I don't think Japan has cider, but I have no idea whether they do or not.

But anyway, I take it it would be cold, like soft drink vending machines here.

Yes it is cold from the vending machines. Also I never came across cider when I was there, but I am sure foriegn shops would stock it, and maybe some of the bigger bars and English type pubs etc in the bigger cities.

Well that's certainly not true. Find a back alley away from parks, zoos, and other places children hang out. The beer vending machines are plentiful in Tokyo.

I think alot of the vending machines were volantarilly taken out in 2000 or so. Yes I've seen alcohole vending machines in Tokyo, but they usually cater to the whino ojisan. Go to Chiba and there are far more vending machines in more less seedy areas.

And even some clubs require guys to be 23 and the girls they dont even card =P

My girls 18 and she walked right past a bouncer and the guy wanted me to be 23 to get into Feria one night, i was like i know so many underaged people in there right now... let me in and i wont start any trouble im fricken almost 22.
That's good for me to hear. When I go to Japan I'll be 22, but my friend I'm taking with me will only be 18 and I don't know what I'd do if I wanted to go to some clubs and she couldn't get in. >_<

Does any country respect this silly "driking law"? I mean! I've been to England, France, Germany and Brasil and I have bought alcohol being underaged, so don't worry about it cause no matter where you go you'll be able to buy whatever you like despite not being the age you're supposed to be.


Why'd they take out vending machines? =S


everything is relative and contradictory ~
