I heard that most of  the people from northeast China are heavy drinkers,and they pride themselves on their capacity. If you want do business with them you have to drink a lot,is that true?

If I am a wimpy drinker, can I do business with them?[em4]

OK! If you don't drink alcohol, just tell them. If they force you to drink, then you can tell them if they want to do business with you, this is the only choice. Still, please tell them to respect other's choice.

I was forced to drink wine yesterday by our boss when we have meal with a customer together.

my face redder and redder after we finished the meal.

According to people's nature and character, I dont always refuse some one.

Too direct is not a good thing , but i insist to be.

Some man always forced others to get drunked, then they will feel successful.

But friends, we are sincerely enough when staying with friends.

I come from northeast of China, but I can't drink much more. Actually northeast people really can drink more and also very be good at urging the people to drink, only when see you are drunken, they will very happy and won't urge you drink more.So if when you drink with northeast people, you can pretend you are drunken after a while, but you must pretend very true, or you will be very trouble. Maybe really drunken for once is not a bad thing.[em3]
