The alcohol culture

In northeastern China, the people are famous for their alcohol culture. It seems that every northeastern people can drink much. I think, maybe the climate and the customs creat this. I am a northeastern person, I can drink some also. But sometime, I really dislike the alcohol culture, especially when someone force me to drink much.

In a formal occasion, if "some one" attend a dinner, and unfortunately the one can drink much, that means a boring dinner starts. During the dinner, the one will force others to drink. If anyone disobeys his will, that means the guy doesn't give the one a "face", then it will embarrass the both sides. So, before the dinner ends, the consequence is: several guys has already spouted out all of the food. Maybe the theme of the dinner is " communication". Actually, no one can not and donot want to speak one word. Some are drunk, some are thinking how to avoid the next cups of alcohol.

One of my American friend ever said, he doesn't like anyone force him to drink how much, because how much He wants to drink is his business and his freedom. Everyone attending the dinner just need to mind your own business. I agree with his view. But I am a Chinese, a northeasten chinese. Maybe I should adapt this alcohol culture, but I really donot want to put it up anymore.
