あなたがお酒を飲んだら・・・?

Looking for something else, I came across this video of 慣用句 (kanyouku = idioms) related to booze. There were a few things here I wasn't familiar with so I've put some notes at the bottom of the post. First though let's watch it!



上戸 jougo = a drinker
泣き上戸 nakijougo = a crying drunk
笑い上戸 waraijougo = a laughing drunk
呂律 roretsu = articulation
呂律が回らない roretsu ga mawaranai = to be inarticulate, to have slurred speech
