Question 1
Yes, I drink alcohol. I like to drink beer and whiskey with a mixer like ginger ale. I used to like bourbon but I have gone of it recently.Question 2
I think beer is the most common alcoholic drink in Japan, although I think sake is the most famous Japanese alcoholic drink.Question 3
I think it is customary for people to have a drink over the New Years break. I have over indulged over this period a few times in my life.Question 4
I had a friend who drank too much and fell asleep on the roof of my house and no one knew he was up there until the next morning. He was lucky that he didn't roll off.Question 5
I think that it is easily accessible because underage drinking is not as big of a problem as it is in some other countries.Question 6
The legal age is 18 in New Zealand. I think it is about right. Should it be banned? I think if I were to look at the deaths and injuries attributed to alochol consumption I should probably say "yes", but I like drinking so I will say "no, it should not be banned".Tough Vocabulary

Question 1
I only drink on special occasions such as birthdays and weddings. I don't normally drink them (especially in large amounts) because of the negative impacts that it does on the human brain and various other organs.Question 2
One beverage that a lot of my friends like is Highball. It's commonly drunk when people gather after work to aid "nominication." I've never tried it myself and I'm not interested in trying it. I typically enjoy drinks that give me benefits such as yerba mate and chai.Question 3
A wedding toast is one that I have been a part of. I had a glass of champagne during one of my good friends' wedding parties. It tasted like apple cider soda!Question 4
I've never been drunk so I will tell you a story about my best friend from middle school. She absolutely loved Jägermeister and drank a little too much when we had our graduation after-party. She became quite violent and I had to stop her from injuring others! A side of her that I've never seen before...Question 5
Compared to other countries, I'd say it's very accessible. Practically everyone can get a can of beer fairly easily. With Amazon and Rakuten, it has become even easier for people to purchase alcohol.Question 6
I believe the legal drinking age is 21 in Indonesia and 18 in Singapore. I think they're pretty average when compared to other countries in the world. Alcohol shouldn't be banned as it is a part of some traditions and customs.Tough Vocabulary
