@TheHolyBong nope you can get 3 cans of labatt blue for 6$ and sometimes corner stores or gas station have singles on sale u can get a great deal best one I got was 1.25$ for a 473ml can of tecate i grabe 20 cans cost me 25$ :) so it all depends on the location. now if ur thinking Ontario I understand a 24 of Heineken in Quebec would go for 25-26$ but in Ontario it's maybe 46-47$
we have a couple of these vending machines in Montreal, there not out in the streets there inside hotels for 3$ u get a 341ml can of ice cold delicious beer. the vending machine is not that cool looking :p here it looks more like a walmart great-value pop machine hahah
States passed laws to make tobacco and alcohol vending machines illegal unless they are in age-restricted area who required ID. That because to prevent underage minors from buying beer and tobacco products.
Maybe they've changed since then, but I know that some of the Americans when I was over there were complaining that they couldn't buy cigarettes from vending machines because it required some type of ID scan.
@TheDegree777 It's illegal to sell alcoholic beverages in vending machines in USA. States controlled that matter. Unless they are in age-restricted areas who required ID to enter.
@Midnightryder7 So, I suppose you assume the numbers below the various selection buttons are totally meaningless and the fact that he specifically said "760 yen change" is also unimportant. The cost was 240 yen, which works out to about $3. Expensive, yes, but it's no worse than going to an American bar and it certainly isn't 10 bucks. Think before you speak; I promise it helps.
There are warnings labeled on the front of the machine against underage drinking (under 20) and because of M.A.D.D. in Japan, these machines automatically shut off around 10pm. Normally, they are not abused.
Actually in Japan almost everyone is polite and obedient. The kids don't even try to buy the beer. If they do, its like disgracing their family. Their culture is different from those of Americans so don't be ignorant saying the "kids will buy the beer" and "American laws are too strict."
@ThePinkPlease the problem with america is rstricting beer kids are from the start said no thats bad so they are like yeah wanna try this shit bu tin japan kids are brought up with it right there so it's a common thing no interest usa need to stop sticking in in ppls asses kuz they wanna have drink and for that matter kids are allways gonna drink no matter waht the law is
@Zeppelinwillneverdie It's not 1000 yen for a beer. It happens to accept notes which he got change for afterwards. The beer cost 240, which is still rather steep I think, but it is a vending machine. ^ ^
A beer vending machine... with all my Japanese favorites!
There ought to be a few of these in certain Japanese establishments in the USA, under special permit of course, so that Americans can experience what it's like to have their cold beer served to them this way! All purchasers would be required to show ID before inserting their money, of course...
I was surprised to see these when I first visited 11 years ago. Not just Beer machines, but their complement... Cigarette machines!! Like Denny's and other diners in the 80's...(cig machines but not beer)They were much more plentiful a decade ago. Machines are disappearing because the left took a brilliant example from the US fining those that don't card in shops as a scapegoat and way to collect revenue Less public places like train stations have beer or cig machines as before.
@Marcelim02 hallo there, i live in México and it's a democracy, well i found this beer machine different because here we don't have one and i think is wonderful couse i do not like soda hahaha
Its kind of a good idea but I couldn't imagine ever using one of those. So you just go shopping and go oh I know I'll have a can of beer, lets do some drunken shopping and walking around town. If I have a drink I'm either in a bar or at home.
The child in Japan doesn't hope to buy the beer in the vending machine. When the beer is bought in the vending machine, its price is high. If the beer is bought in the vending machine, it is an affluent Japanese child. However, an affluent child doesn't do such shopping.
@MetalManDan7 um yes. even an under 6-year old girl can buy it, if she takes a parent's id card with her and reachs the hand to the slot. if a 18 or 19 year old boy uses a someone's id card and happens to meet policemen, they catch him because it is illegal. if that is just the case, he'll have his name written down on their document and been robbed of the can by the policemen.
@MetalManDan7 The kids in Japan don't even bother with the beer vending machines. They are good kids and know not to break the law. I was there when I was 18 and I never once saw someone young like me attempt to buy any.
@gollapr man they are lucky they didnt have any rowdy metal heads like us around haha. it would be like one of those retro godzilla movies where everyone runs away pointing in fear, except instead of pointing at godzilla it would be us.
@MetalManDan7 hahaha ur asking all the right questions it is a family owned "bar pub" iam 21 now lol but you get 16 year old girls working in night clubs till 7 in the morning the pot law, its ilegal but no problem realy as long as you dont take the piss like smoking a join in public, if they catch you whit maybe 3-9 grams ur ok as long they think ur not a dealer especialy beeing a turist THE BEST thing about spain is its right next to marroco and you get the best quality in europe and cheep :)
@MetalManDan7 well, i guess in japan, alot of kids are honest, or atleast the people who make the laws up there believe they are. i mean, people wont even steal bikes that arre not tied up, so i wouldnt be surprised if kids got buy beer
@MetalManDan7 ya it looks like things in USA are fucked up in this case. I saw beer vending machine in Germany too. In Lithuania they sell beer to teenager prity much everywhere. USA seems to be the only palce in the world with such strict laws.
@MetalManDan7 I was saying that because alcohol isnt very big in Japan compaired to other countries, police arent worried about kids buying it because its very rare that they do, if they had this in Europe or America kids would buy shit all the time, you cant complain about them having alcoholic vending machines.
yeah b/c people in the US wouldn't give a crap if they were drunk in public. People in Asia are a lot more self conscious about being drunk in public.
Taste is subjective. Some of it is, but there are some really nice brands. Premium brands for mass consumption like, Suntory Premium Malts and Yebisu are quite nice.
from what I hear, vending machines in Tokyo require you to us an I.D. card. Here though, no card. That does mean that underage people, if they wanted, could easily get beer.
just recently they started cracking down on underage drinking and smoking. most of if not all cigarette machines require you to tap an I.D. card which you have to request by mail. they consider smoking more important than underage drinking. i havent seen a beer machine that requires a I.D but im sure they'll start making those too
they are implementing a system in Alcohol vending machines,requires an id like kevin said,but just in some cities in japan,cigaretts they changed it like 1 year ago,now everyone needs an ID card
It is legal to do so. Some people do, but they don't walk around drinking. they may get a beer and sit in a park or a bench to have it. Usually older men (and foreigners who think it's cool that they can have open alcohol....me...in this video).
It is legal here too (Germany) but it is not socially acceptable everywhere. If people get drunk on the street here and are unlucky to get caught they get taken to a Ausnüchterungszelle (drunk tank) for a short holiday.
haha i know. we arent alcoholics like the parents that come to the kis festivals and start drinking at 10am right lol. yeah i wait till 12 too....as sweat is pouring down my brow and i am in a dead stare with the ticking hands on my wrist watch.
i've seen coronas in some specialty food stores...bought a few.....but in Japanese beer machines...expect to f ind only Japanese beer....which is first rate beer:)
I can remember I was around 13 (27 now) when I went to Spain with my family and they had vending machines with beer in them. My little cousin and I got about 5 each and ended up drunk. lol. It cannot read people's faces u plonker.
That machine reads people's face. It is possible to recgnize peoples' age by looking their face. Wow. Japan is the first nation which is using that technology on vending machine while other nations using that technology in high security requiring place..
Why is it that the vending machines in Japan have no problem taking a bill, while in Canada you have to shove it into the machine a million times before it will be accepted? Also, in Canada it is usually a machine just to get change to put into a vending machine!
It's amazing too, because you can put them in either way, upside down....doesn't matter. The machines always take them! I love it :) Yep...the ones in Canada always pissed me off!!!
When I lived in Kurihama in the '90s there were quite a few around. One night I had a craving for some great Japanese beer and spent at least 5 minutes deciding which beer I wanted. Just as I was reaching for money the clock struck 10pm and the machine went dark!!! No beer for you!
These are very common within hotels, but rarely see them out in the streets. Every onsen hotel has one! Good after a warm bath hehe

yeah b/c people in the US wouldn't give a crap if they were drunk in public. People in Asia are a lot more self conscious about being drunk in public.

Back in the 1980s the South River, NJ volunteer fire department had a Budweiser vending machine. They also had a Marlboro cigarettes machine.

Taste is subjective. Some of it is, but there are some really nice brands. Premium brands for mass consumption like, Suntory Premium Malts and Yebisu are quite nice.
Thanks for watching.

how does it know if you're old enough to get a beer ? :p isnt it not allowed for young men to get a beer?

from what I hear, vending machines in Tokyo require you to us an I.D. card. Here though, no card. That does mean that underage people, if they wanted, could easily get beer.
BusanKevin 2 years ago
ha pretty cool lol
jisoo2063 2 years ago
just recently they started cracking down on underage drinking and smoking. most of if not all cigarette machines require you to tap an I.D. card which you have to request by mail. they consider smoking more important than underage drinking. i havent seen a beer machine that requires a I.D but im sure they'll start making those too

Do people drink on the street in Japan?.
dawnrun911 2 years ago
It is legal to do so. Some people do, but they don't walk around drinking. they may get a beer and sit in a park or a bench to have it. Usually older men (and foreigners who think it's cool that they can have open alcohol....me...in this video).
BusanKevin 2 years ago
It is legal here too (Germany) but it is not socially acceptable everywhere. If people get drunk on the street here and are unlucky to get caught they get taken to a Ausnüchterungszelle (drunk tank) for a short holiday.

I can remember I was around 13 (27 now) when I went to Spain with my family and they had vending machines with beer in them. My little cousin and I got about 5 each and ended up drunk. lol. It cannot read people's faces u plonker.
cheekyscot25 2 years ago
That machine reads people's face. It is possible to recgnize peoples' age by looking their face. Wow. Japan is the first nation which is using that technology on vending machine while other nations using that technology in high security requiring place..

Why is it that the vending machines in Japan have no problem taking a bill, while in Canada you have to shove it into the machine a million times before it will be accepted? Also, in Canada it is usually a machine just to get change to put into a vending machine!

It's amazing too, because you can put them in either way, upside down....doesn't matter. The machines always take them! I love it :) Yep...the ones in Canada always pissed me off!!!

When I lived in Kurihama in the '90s there were quite a few around. One night I had a craving for some great Japanese beer and spent at least 5 minutes deciding which beer I wanted. Just as I was reaching for money the clock struck 10pm and the machine went dark!!! No beer for you!
