That basically confirmes that she likes every substance that can be harmful for you in some way,the underground and lethal ones to the socially accepted ones.

@@skebaba918her flush was more if a jovial smile than the result of consuming alcohol. LN info (probably skipped but it's a small detail that could be brought back at any point) Maomao loves to drink alcohol. She's lived in the pleasure district all her life with regular access to the stuff and developed a very high tolerance as a result. Despite her size she can down a several jugs. She is well aware of her limits too.
Kounen lost his taste for salt and have a craving for sweet things. I'm tempted to say he either has Addison's disease or diabetes. The salt and the alcohol dehydrated him to the point that his blood pressure skyrocketed and he died of heart failure.
I did watch it. If you are curious spoilers ahead. He lost his ability to taste salt after getting depressed. Someone added salt to his drink and because he couldnt taste it he didnt notice and essentially died of too much salt in his body. Not sure what addisons is (i never heard of it before) but it definantly wasnt diabetes
@@jismeraiverhoeven yeah, within the reality of the story the illness was clearly psychosomatic. when he became depressed, sugary foods became more desirable, not due to his taste changing or some other illness, but due to the physiological effects of consuming sugar. all foods cause you to release dopamine, but sugary and fatty foods yield the most. since his sense of taste was dulled, the only explanation is that he became addicted to sugar. between the inebriation, depression, and potential damage done to his palate/tongue over years of eating spicey foods and drinking heavily, he probably *could* tell the drinks were salty, but wasn't able to recognize *how* salty they were. no underlying illness needed.
@@zoraackerman1684 his tolerance is less than a single drink if memory serves it was either a single sip or a couple sips of his drink with some salt in it for him to pass out entirely
Aside from Maomao's predilection for consuming harmful substances, between all the mysteries and palace conspiracies she's been strong armed into dealing with I'd say she's got more than enough of an excuse to knock one back.
The one complaint I have about this show is that basically everything they say is based on modern science. That's why you never read about famous Dr's in your history books their credibility is F'd.
Well... it's a tricky thing for a writer. You don't want to spread medical misinformation, even if that misinformation used to be what people genuinely believed. Good news is, this anime is set in a fictional world. Maybe this world's early physicians were a lot better at guessing than ours were.
Also, I can think of a bunch of famous physicians from history. Galen. Maimonides. Averroes. John Dee. Just because they were wrong or guessing doesn't mean they've been forgotten.
I haven't watched the show but everything she said about alcohol was more or less common knowledge in imperial china. Confuscianism stresses restraint and moderation and Chinese doctors well knew the effects of overindulging in alcohol. Also if you took any history course and have never heard of Galen the Mystic then I weep for the state of your education, pretty sure I first heard about Galen in 5th grade.
In the latest light novel she experienced hangover for the first time cuz she ate a mushroom along with wine (caused the alcohol to be absorbed faster). Jinshi found out and was furious lol.
Wait. The guy hated salt. And this drink was both sweet and Salty, someone put salt in his drink? Or maybe the person actually like that specific type of fruit that swaps your Sweet and Salty tastes?
@@passionprey1293 14 volumes is not that long by novel standards, though, it is still ongoing. And for me personally it is a really good read. Cannot wait for the next volume to be translated in January.

A lot of poisons in small doses have intoxicating effect. Alcohol is a poison as well.
Everything, in excess, is poison.
Maomao: *_"Anyone who likes alcohol should know that overindulgence in drinking is poison in essence."_*
Also Maomao: ( *Consumes a glass like it was something to do* )
Well she does love consuming poison, why would alcohol be any exception?
she is one of those who don't have asian flush when drinking alcohol, I suppose she could hold her liquor just fine.
@@falcontomto WDYM she literally had flushed cheeks in that 1 shot, no? They went away instantly after she stopped drinking tho
@@skebaba918her flush was more if a jovial smile than the result of consuming alcohol.

Maomao loves to drink alcohol. She's lived in the pleasure district all her life with regular access to the stuff and developed a very high tolerance as a result. Despite her size she can down a several jugs. She is well aware of her limits too.
Her poison resistance also meas she can hold a lot of liqor. Where are some hilarious scenes in the LN because of it.

Haven't watched the episode yet, but those are my thoughts as well, watching this clip.

Mao Mao loves drinking alcohol because it's basically a way to drink poison without seeming crazy.
Spoiler:
The funniest part is that her dad can’t handle alcohol at all lol
@@barkni1913What? 😂😂😂
@@zoraackerman1684 his tolerance is less than a single drink if memory serves it was either a single sip or a couple sips of his drink with some salt in it for him to pass out entirely
Buddy, you just got your 300th like!
Jinshi: do you want dried meat and moon cakes?
Moamao: Nah i'll be done with the drink by then 🤣i love that she has no shame lol
That explains Kounen's drinking problem. He kept dropping the jars he was drinking from.
Reminds me of the Airplane movie. "I have a drinking problem." *flings contents of cup over shoulder*
I don't get it.
Welp, alcohol is a type of poison so it’s only natural for Mao Mao desho ❤
Desho? 😂😂😂
Best show of the season, yet so criminally underrated.
For a girl who loves to collect herbs and do experimentation on herself now has another thing she adores, alcohol.
La carita de Maomao apenas vio que le sirvieron Sake es tan adorrable, pequeña ebria😂❤
Her next words will probably be: “find out where this alcohol comes from, I must investigate further.” 🤣
…well, you’re not all that far off
Aside from Maomao's predilection for consuming harmful substances, between all the mysteries and palace conspiracies she's been strong armed into dealing with I'd say she's got more than enough of an excuse to knock one back.
Already hoping for a Season 2… I need more!!! ❤
Maomao is best girl! She is amazing! 🥰
Pity that her past trauma and growing up in the pleasure district has soured her on human sexuality.
Anything that even might cause poison she loves
Makes sense. It is the world's most socially acceptable type of poison.
The one complaint I have about this show is that basically everything they say is based on modern science.
That's why you never read about famous Dr's in your history books their credibility is F'd.

i was expecting her to start slurring when she finished the bottle. she's no lightweight
In one of the later LNs she easely won the drinking competition against a bunch of sturdy peasant guys once.
She loves to build resistances to poisons and alcohol is poison. Take a wild guess why she won 😂
In the latest light novel she experienced hangover for the first time cuz she ate a mushroom along with wine (caused the alcohol to be absorbed faster). Jinshi found out and was furious lol.
🍶 Maomao's love for alcohol is intriguing and hilarious! 😂
This series is amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
1:14 literally me when I first tried alcohol
She does like her "poison"
Mao mao is perfect
Wait. The guy hated salt. And this drink was both sweet and Salty, someone put salt in his drink? Or maybe the person actually like that specific type of fruit that swaps your Sweet and Salty tastes?
He likes sweet and can’t taste salt anymore. Knowing this, someone dropped a ton of salt into his drink to the point he gets a salt “overdose”
Awesome The Apothecary Diaries Video.
If you think that she’s too edicted 😂
Never mind the alcohol, I get drunk just watching maomao
She should have received the other snacks. Alcohol in combination with finger food 😋
Quando vão começar a dublar o anime?
Why is it that everytime I look at Jinshi, I see Suguru Geto with purple hair?🤔😂
Ok just in case... Don't love alcohol 💀
I feel the apothecary them doesn’t get the attention it deserves except in chinese and cultivation anime.
Oh please bring the English dubs of this series onto UA-cam. Please.
KAWAII WAIFU PRINCESSE MAO MAO 💕😘😈😍🔥💋🎌
Why obe suddendly develops a sweet tooth like that?
Is there a clinical cpndition?
Yes, there are a bunch of taste disorders that can be caused by severe stress among other things.
The human body doesn’t react well with stress.
Is this show worth watching? I've seen it pop up a lot
Yep, it's really good. Sleeper for anime of the year imo
Definitely! But let me tell you that it is one of the longest novel I've read and not finished yet. It's also a slow burn I would say
@@passionprey1293 14 volumes is not that long by novel standards, though, it is still ongoing. And for me personally it is a really good read. Cannot wait for the next volume to be translated in January.
Heh, nice 👍
🍺🍻🐱😽 is best😺😺!
This show would be a lot better if episodes were more than 2 minutes long
