Beer Vending machine in Japan

no editing. Saw this vending machine close to my place, which is awesome, and very convenient, but found it funny you don't need an ID card, but you do for tobacco.

is there any sake there?

@tylerwalker2 yeah, if you see on the very bottom right of the vending machine, there's a smaller glass of something, that's basically your 200 yen sake, poor mans sake, or homeless mans sake, haha, whatever suits you. I'm not a sake drinker, but I don't think that kind is really recommended, who knows though, I can't be the judge of that. =)

Since when does anything in Japan make sense by American standards. I mean Gojira attacks Tokyo every couple of years but people keep moving there.

yeah, I just thought it was funny that tobacco requires an ID but not Alcohol

[CaliBoyinJapan]

haha, Gojira

I think this makes pretty good sense, the whole beer vending machine without ID. Most teens only try drinking or drink because it's something they aren't supposed to do and it's supposedly the cool thing to do at parties etc.

It's reverse psychology, tell people they can't do something and the more they want to do it.

Teens are rebellious by nature it's a stepping stone to becoming an adults, You tell them no they say yes, you say yes they say no.

true, good point.

Dam the U.S. need to get those things

Interesting too how they don't have an epidemic of teen drinking like we seem to have in the USA. I think it's society and peer pressure that keeps them in line.

I've heard of some shopkeepers that have a taspo card attached to the cig vending machine. Can anyone confirm this?

As for the Japanese, buying the cigarette in the vending machine of the cigarette to need the identification card has decreased.

It is from menndoukusai when saying in Japanese. Menndoukusai is a thing of burdensome .

When menndoukusai is restated in a modern word, it is uzai.

beer vending machines are much older than tobacco's. some beer vending machines have that new feature installed though.
