The Japanese are a huge mystery. They have a large, modern alcohol industry and culture with deep historical traditions. Bars are popular and everywhere. Employees are often obliged to attend drinking parties with their boss and colleagues, and you need a reason equal to your spouse getting hospitalised to refuse. Yet here the dude eating a single liquor-filled chocolate knocks him out, like the worst weak-livered milk drinker. How does that compute?
Gyaru truth drug.

Poor Chihara. Fighting with her shoulder morals. :smug:

Slightly concerning of the girl getting alcoholic chocolates though... :worry:

I may very well be wrong, but that entire trope might be due to a law forbidding the depiction of minors consuming alcoholic beverages, or so i've read.
Hence skirting the prohibition by using liquor chocolates (or sometimes just soda or some other non-alcoholic beverage) and comical lightweightedness instead to still invoke in vino veritas with underage characters.

It would be a rather strange law, but it certainly would explain some things, like how even in isekai series the MC always refuses to drink alcoholic drinks, even though it's an entirely different universe. Such a law would also mean that if in a manga a Japanese young adult of 18 or 19 summers travels to Europe, the manga couldn't have the character drink a cold one. More importantly, wouldn't it mean the manga couldn't depict any European young adult drinking either, even though that would definitely break the realism, no matter how realistic the manga might otherwise try to be.
