Q: Drunk young Chinese - a rare phenomenon?
Only time I see drunk Chinese is the pot-bellied ones yelling loudly in the street, or the white collars puking their guts out on the pavement at 11:30 at night like amateurs. Oddly enough, I've very, very rarely seen young 18-25 Chinese (guys or girls) getting hammered or drinking much. Has anyone else noticed this as well?
Oh, they definitely do. On the weekend, I see people walking back to the school, helping drunk people. If you work at a college you will see it. They'll go out to dinner together, and sometimes one of them will be very drunk by the time they leave. Sometimes they take a taxi, so maybe that's why you don't see them. Also, they get drunk earlier at night because this school has a curfew. They have to come back before 10. A lot of young people here drink beer, especially the guys. Do you know any young people?
Rare phenomenon??!! Ha!
It is a common sight over here in Beijing and in Guilin (the boys, rarely have I seen a drunk girl here).
I have been teaching university for five years and I see it almost every weekend among the students, and more often among the older men, especially near this "yang rou" BBQ which gives you nice cold beer with your BBQ. And sometimes, when I pass by, they greet me with a "Halllloooooo Laowaiiiiiiiiiii!!!"
It's probably because they get knocked out quicker than you do and you never seem to catch them drunk....or it could be that you're too drunk to remember seeing anything yourself...
They drink in different places... KTV, restaurants..etc.
My favorite restaurant in SZ is beside a giant and popular patio bar. We often go here for late dinner and drinks and laugh at the continuous parade of drunken kids (mostly boys) that can't even walk and have a friend on either side of them dragging them to the street for a taxi.
This usually happens between 9-11...around the same time that most westerners at the same bar are just getting started.
Definitely not a rare phenomenon. In my little town, we don't even have a bar...at least not what I'd call one. Like nevermind said, they drink in different places. It's not uncommon to see a case of beer next to a table of young folks as they pound them one by one. Same thing at the KTV....go sit down in the room, and they'll bring in enough beer to cover the table(
. This is young folks and old folks alike....
Hell yes! I would say so. In my experience living in South Korea, I saw young drunk So. Korean guys MUCH more frequently than in China. South Koreans really put the booze away.
Go to Guangdong, dongguan...to avoid drunk young chinese is very difficult
