Drinking for experience

In the last month of 2015, it was Christmas and my family had planned for a trip to japan all year long. On one of the days in Osaka, we decided to go to a small restaurant at the end of the road. It was a pizza and pasta restaurant called "Pizza and Pasta Restaurant" as a joke so that tourists would know what was on the menu. We had a delicious dinner, very stuffing indeed, one of the best pizzas I've ever had. When everyone was done eating, I saw the drink section on the menu and saw that they served sake, a Japanese rice wine made by fermenting rice. As a joke I told my dad to get me a warm sake but he said that it wasn't a bad idea and ordered a glass. It was difficult to get it down my throat at first but after a few sips it was quite good for my first illegal alcoholic drink. However, I couldn't finish it so my father went ahead and chugged it all at once, Like a BOSS.

Today, my family and I took my brother out to an outdoor restaurant for his 18th birthday. We again, enjoyed the delightful barbecued ribs with a side of spicy BBQ chicken wings. Although, this was no ordinary restaurant, it is famous for their wide selection of 'Naughty drinks' which were basically alcoholic drinks. Father then said, "Hey, why not I order some pints for everyone!". My mother got herself a Mojito, my brother had a Martini, I got Budweiser and my father got a large pint of Hoegaarden beer. Budweiser is an American beer that has a little fizz in it. I shocked myself as I managed to drink the whole bottle quite fast. In return, my face started to get red and my chest got really warm. I guess you can say it's a Chinese thing. What really frightened me was that my father insisted on driving us home after drinking the entire pint of beer all by himself. Luckily, he wasn't drunk or anything as he was a heavyweight drinker in his late 20's. We all got home safely and went to bed quite early because we were absolutely wasted. I hope I don't get a hangover tomorrow....
