As the dilation of the character's urethra caused by inebriation creates slight discomfort.

In real life: When you drink all of the heat rushes to your face and it gives you a healthy blush.
In anime: Also it is easier for people to tell who is drunk and who isn't in anime

People have that blush in real life when they're drunk.

Most Asian people i know ( including me ) great the blush red face pretty fast when drinking, theres a slag for it "asian glow"

most anime takes place in japan so its reasonable :D

Lol @ "the asian glow". I take it back though. If I drink whiskey, my face does get hella hot and blush. Anything else though is not really noticeable.

Even if it happens occationally to people, it is very rare from what i've experienced. (it's alot, trust me.)
Among the people here in Sweden I don't know anyone who gets red or blushes after drinking alcohol. Though I have seen old people such as alcoholics get a little red on the tip of their nose, but thats all.

I have been to parties with alot of Japanese men/women and it did NOT happen to them either. I got pics from most of the parties as to prove it.
So I guess it's just a personal thing that happens to certain people...and yeah it's much easier to see if a person is drunk in an anime by visualizing it like that, I don't disagree.

lol

I'm an Asian who grew up under the sun so even if drunk you wouldn't be able to tell if I was unless I go purple...plus I can control my alcohol

as for anime depicting drunk people...I think the salary man with necktie as a headband and sushi box on their head is a better depiction then just that certain 'asian glow'

For depicting drunk people, I don't see it so. In every serie I've seen (as far as I remember) there's no depicting them, people are stupid when they are drunk. I speak out of many years experience as a idiot drunk. Ofc not everyone is stupid, but certainly the vast majority are.


I- I- I don't know what to say. My brain fails to comprehend what on earth this post is about.


Lol. Me too.

There's times that Haruka Nishida doesn't blush when she's drunk and she's always drunk 24/7.
