Real no Heroine wa Irimasen! - Vol. 17 Ch. 118

[Takuma_Aki]

sake is rice wine and nothing else. and they ALWAYS depict rice wine in ANY manga you'll ever read.
and no, if your nose is not broken, you can smell the "burning" stench of ethanol quite quickly - not as quickly as with the pure solvent of course, but quickly enough. and that smell is different from the disgusting fumes you'll smell from drunkards. it's similar to antiseptic (since they'll usually use isopropyl alcohol for that nowadays).

And I was telling you, and will repeat it again here, that the Japanese word Sake (酒) is a generic word that can cover anything alcoholic, much like booze in English. Try google translate EN>JP and you'll see booze is translated to Sake

True, in English, Sake is borrowed to mean traditional sake or the rice wine you mentioned but it's not the same in JP. This is oversight on the translator part that, seeing the word Sake is widespread in English, they decided to use it, but they didn't realized the word is not completely equivalent in meaning. You have to keep in mind this is a translation work and this is a common mistake in translation. If you still want to keep saying the word Sake in English only mean rice wine and disregard the fact that the original work is in Japanese, and the word Sake in Japanese has a wider meaning that Sake in English, then this conversation is pointless.

EDIT.
Never mind. You know what? I just re-read it again to recheck and turned out, the word 'Sake' was mentioned in the part of 'MC reeks of Sake', so it doesn't even said MC drank Sake. It just meant MC reeks alcohol, or, in other words, MC has 'disgusting fumes you'll smell from drunkards'. So I can't really say it was oversight on the translator part either, actually.

Literally searched for less than a minute and found evidence to the contrary:
"In Japan, the word sake 🍶 (酒), or in its polite form osake (お酒), means alcohol generally speaking. When talking about Japanese sake, we are in fact referring to nihonshu (日本酒), or more rarely washu (和酒), that translates as "Japanese alcohol"."

Also guess my "nose is broken" and I'm a "severly addicted" "hardened alcoholic" based on the fact that I never experience either the burning or smell the fumes you mentioned unless I'm drinking shit like bourbon or scotch with my pop. Barring that, you might just be extremely sensitive to alcohol, but that couldn't possibly be...

Then yes you are an alcoholic or your nose is broken. Lmao alcohol is so easy to detect

i just used the english language wikipedia who use the 酒 kanji for rice wine specifically:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sake
this is how it was used in any and all manga translations i've ever come across as well.

but going to the japanese page, it actually uses 日本酒 for the rice wine:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/日本酒

and 酒 as a term for generic alcohol like you said:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/酒

the raws for chapter 118 also use the 酒 kanji, so my bad then and you were right.

concerning the other matter: YES, i'm 100 % sure that at the very least you're a regular drinker if you can't smell alcohol immediately (even those with lesser percentages like wine) and don't immediately notice its distinctive "medicinal" (disinfectant) and bitter taste. the lack of smell i could maybe explain away if you're one of those heathens that mix good/higher grade alcohol (for example single malt whiskey) with soda or other bullshit you might do. the taste on the other hand is immediately noticeable, even in sugary stuff like cocktails etc. that is my perspective and also shared by acquaintances that don't drink regularly just like me. my guess is that high intake just numbed your senses. doesn't necessarily make me "extremely sensitive" to booze. raki is the highest percentage alcohol i ever drank at around 45 % abv, but could digest it without any problems or throwing up or whatever.

Despite trauma dumping quite often, the story up to this point has been relatively light-hearted. This fucking heavy bomb-shell came outta nowhere. Christ. I don't think the writer'll have the skills to write himself outta this one neatly. This is one heavy topic.
