Sake isnt sparkling, theres some sparkling brands. Drinking vinegar is a thing and i think fairly common in Japan, so much so that theres flavored Vinegar. This is not the whole post. Later in the post OP says their friend was drinking bad champagne thinking it was sake.
I believe you can get somewhat drunk from placebo alone. There was an experiment done were people were told that they were drinking vodka, but it was actually alcohol-free and some people still started acting drunk and believed themselves to be drunk.
Could be fake or they’re just that dumb. Don’t know about Japanese convenience/grocery stores but I don’t see why those two things would be near each other. Especially if they have similar characters
Vinegar is alcohol that has fermented again. That's why we have things like white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar (apple cider was originally only alcoholic), etc
Im assuming he ended up with flavored Mirin? (Rice wine Vinegar thats much sweeter and smoother than the white distilled you see by the gallon on US grocery stores) Ive also never seen Sparkling Sake... Soju maybe?
Vinegar is actually famous for being an excellent salad dressing, or Pringle’s flavor, & making pickles taste great. Maybe you’re mistaking “tasting bad” for “being too strong as a standalone for most”? That said I agree that most alcohol tastes bad.
Vinegar is like garlic, useful in some foods but you would not eat it alone. But yeah, most alcoholic drinks taste bad and the amount of badness is directly proportional to amount of alcohol. Taking a glass of champagne at a party would ruin it, wine is just spoiled juice, cider is slightly less spoiled juice. Beer is like drinking water with those purification tablets put in it. Only more than 1% alcoholic drink I could tolerate was something with so much anise in it it tasted like candy... the kind you suck on to cure a cold.
@@AnalystPrime YOU wouldn’t eat garlic alone, don’t speak for all of us now! I fuckn love garlic I eat it roasted or straight out of the minced garlic jar
the other friend was def drinking something else, but op was actually drinking vinegar. They misread 酢 (vinegar) as 酒 (sake) i think another comment said that the friend was drinking sparking wine or smth and thought it was sake
@@voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix well... alcohol is known for causing stomach problems and throat cancer after a long use, but vinegar usually has its painfull effects quicker
Sake isn't sparkling, it has carbonation from the fermentation process but it's quite subtle compared to other fermented beverages. I've never heard of strawberry flavoured vinegar though 😅
I'm sorry, I must be confused. I'm fairly certain all fermented drinks bubble at least somewhat, but "sparkling" means carbonated like soda, and I'm fairly certain sake isn't carbonated naturally.
Thanks commenters, for filling in the gaps. Turns out one was drinking flavoured rice vinegar while the other was drinking bad champagne, and neither was drinking sake. Sake is a rice wine, and the rice vinegar is _real_ vinegar, made from rice, smooth and kinda sweet. Not liquid citric acid like the white vinegar in North America, just fyi. I buy both at the grocery store, for different cooking purposes.
I tried sake, my friends went to a chinese restaurant and I join them later after dinner so I wasnt hungry, I saw a bottle of sake for 11 euros and said Ok, ill try this, the waiter joke about it saying " I was going hard that night" so I was expecting having to share it with my friends. It was warm and I didnt even got tipsy, 11€. A little of beer is 2,5€.
They are missing the second part of this story where it turns out that the friend had been drinking japanese rosé instead of sake: the moral of this story, translate your labels
Wait how have they been drinking from a bottle of sake for a year? Was the bottle a Nebuchadnezzar? Do they just have half a thimble? Do they only have 1 friend so don't go to many "events" Also if you're drinking the same bottle of sake for an entire year it's going to have turned into vinegar anyway.
@henrysanecdotes5323 precisely. So if they enjoyed their drink and got drunk off it then what's the problem? Unless they had planned to damage themselves through alcoholism
@@mrnefarious5752 The only issue is that once you realize, you’ll never get drunk off of it again (provided you don’t misread the label, maybe if you’re already drunk you can mistake it). It’s a good way to save money and your liver, but you can’t know about it. It’d be unethical to do this for anyone, for example a partner telling you it’s alcoholic. Such power is only attainable when you don’t know you have it
I have had a lot of sake in my lifetime, many different brands, and have never seen a carbonated(I assume that's what they mean by sparkling) sake. I would very much like to try that.

Reminds me again of Roman Legionaries' sports drink / energy booster, vinegar, salt, and lard.
All champagne is bad
Blasphemy @@odessawild7798
Brings some new context to its vinegar pussy
I was gonna say, I've had sake many times and it's never been sparkling
Missed the context, the kanji for sake and vinegar are very similar. They misread the label
My great grandfather would always have some vinegar with meals as a drink. Like he'd just sip on 2 onces of straight vinegar during the meal.
Sake: 酒
Vinegar: 酢
Further context was that neither person was drinking sake because sake isn't a sparkling beverage. Source: the hashtags from the original post
@@Bingotaco I was so confused ab this lol, isn’t Sake rice wine?? Why would it be sparkling??
@@Bingotaco Thank you. I've had sake before and was really confused because I didn't remember it being sparkling.
Vodka! I like your style-
"It's vinegar"
Guys the rest of the context is that the friend was drinking mislabeled champagne instead of sake
how did they not realise they werent drinking alcohol

Placebo affect
Vinegar is alcohol that has fermented again. That's why we have things like white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar (apple cider was originally only alcoholic), etc
Sake isn't sparkling tho... Maybe some types are, but that's not the norm idk? Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
No you're right. And who has strawberry flavored vinegar?
You are correct
Yeah I’ve never heard of sparkling sake I’ve only ever had it like warm at a restaurant
@@voltair42 you misunderstand, the drink aged for so long it became vinegar
@@SkibidiSlayerOfficialno it was a bottle of drinking vinegar.
TIL that you can get strawberry flavoured vinegar.
Yeah, "Su", drinking vinegar is popular in Japan. Rice vinegar mixed with fruit juice or other drinks.
Im assuming he ended up with flavored Mirin? (Rice wine Vinegar thats much sweeter and smoother than the white distilled you see by the gallon on US grocery stores) Ive also never seen Sparkling Sake... Soju maybe?
sake isnt usually sparkling but ive heard of sparkling sake before. i have never ever heard of sparkling soju
I've had sparkling sake before but it's definitely not the norm
soju is definitely not sparkling makgeolli is fizzy though
Mirin isn't vinegar though, it's just ... I mean more or less it's sweetened sake though it's production is more complicated than that.
But mirin is rice wine right? Not vinegar
Yall missed the rest of the post - her friend wasn't actually drinking sake either, neither of them had tried sake lol
Ive heard of drinking vinegar before, diluted with water and flavoured with fruit
Imagine walking around and seeing a random dude chugging a bottle of vinegar striding down the road
Much more threatening than any alcoholic. They aren’t powered by liquid courage but unfiltered vitriol
You were drinking vinegar and the friend probably drinking sprite or whatever cause sake usually isn’t supposed to be sparkling lmfao
This is exactly why I don’t like alcohol IT TASTES LIKE VINEGAR. You know what is INFAMOUS for tasting bad? Vinegar.
Damn you've been drinking some f***ed up shi**y alcohol my boy
(But who cares, don't do drugs, that's one for you mate)

Roasted garlic or garlic confit taste good and I can't get enough. Also I have at least once drank balsamic vinegar straight and really liked it.
Neither sake or vinegar are sparkling so this whole interaction just makes no sense
They were both misreading labels. The one person was drinking vinegar he thought was sake, and the other person was drinking something else (idk)
@@henrysanecdotes5323friend was drinking champagne, apparently
Fun thing is that sake is not sparkling and I beleve it can't be strawberry flavour. I think he means korean soju.
the other friend was def drinking something else, but op was actually drinking vinegar. They misread 酢 (vinegar) as 酒 (sake)
i think another comment said that the friend was drinking sparking wine or smth and thought it was sake
No, flavoured drinking vinegar is a popular product in Japan. It's rice vinegar mixed with fruit juice.
@@misslovedog8177 No. Drinking vinegar is popular in Japan. Google it.
@@raven4442 tf you mean "no"
My boys been taking health shots no wonder he doesn't have any hangovers 😂😂
“I don’t like sparkling stuff” so you don’t like any soda? Yea sure
This is like that tea post all over again
I don’t know what your friend is drinking either. Sake is rice-wine. You can get sparkling brands but most are just… wine, basically.
Strawberry flavored vinegar? I dont think I've ever seen such thing before.
Okay but what the heck is strawberry flavored vinegar
Why
Hey if you haven't noticed, you haven't been doing anything wrong.
Exept that high vinegar consumption really irritates your throat and asophagus
@yodxxx1 it's common to drink in Japan actually, look it up it's not the vinegar your thinking of.
@@yodxxx1 I don’t think alcohol is going to be much better in that regard.
@@voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix well... alcohol is known for causing stomach problems and throat cancer after a long use, but vinegar usually has its painfull effects quicker
Sake? Sparkling? Not the kind I've had
That is insane. How.
Also... First? Wtf? If that's not a sign I need to go to sleep I don't know what is
It's written similarly in Japanese
I don't like sparkling stuff either, better check to make sure my sake isn't vinegar

I remember this post. They were both wrong. The first one was drinking champagne.

Well you are both drinking the wrong things then because sake is still not sparkling.😂
On my 20 years of this earth with 21 years of experience have i never heard fucking “strawberry flavored vinegar”
We have flavored vinegar here too. Mine is apple.

“Sake” is just generally a prerogative for alcohol, there is Japanese alcohol which is true sake but it isn’t sparkling

I've never had sparkling sake I've only had it hot and cold and sweet but never hot and sweet sparkling that never has come to mind
I’m just here like “The fuck is sake?”
Japanese rice wine
Uhhhh.... sake isn't a "sparkling " drink.
Sake does not usually sparkle.
There is sparkling sake but that's like saying there's sparkling wine. Keyword wine keyword sake. Sake is just Japanese hardish alcohol
Never had sparkling sake
what does sparkling mean? all i can imagine is just a drink with glitter in it
We do a little bit of drinking
Im sorry but vinegar isnt sparkling either
Vinegar is spoiled alcohol!
I was drinking sake two nights ago and it wasn't sparkling
sake isn't sparkling though???
Atleast...its not pure vinegar...
Wait how have they been drinking from a bottle of sake for a year? Was the bottle a Nebuchadnezzar? Do they just have half a thimble? Do they only have 1 friend so don't go to many "events"

i just opened the app and already wtf
Sake isn’t sparkling? I don’t like sparkling but sake is the only alcohol I drink
Sake is just alcohol but japanese
No one has asked the serious question. Did you get drunk?
You will if you believe you’re drinking alcohol. That’s a placebo for you
