In this episode, I talk about company drinking parties and why I often get bored after just 30 minutes. Drawing from my experiences in Japanese offices and during my time as a salesperson in Southeast Asia, I discuss traditional drinking culture, mandatory drinking expectations, and the social dynamics that shape these gatherings. I also share stories of awkward moments, forced toasts, and excessive business talk. Finally, I suggest a more relaxed approach: small groups, voluntary participation, shorter durations, and alternatives like lunch or online casual chats. Discover a practical perspective on navigating office drinking culture.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠●ビジネス日本語学習者向けブログビジネスのために日本語を学んでいる人のための情報を発信しています⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://businessnihongo555.blogspot.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
