Now that's one thing that's inaccurate about anime: Characters under 20 NEVER drink, except by accident. They always say they're underage, and refuse. Always. Like, bull fucking shit an 18-year-old is going to turn down a free beer.

idk, I didn't drink as a teenager (and rarely do now as an adult) and I knew a fair amount of people who were similar. I think american tv shows exaggerate how many people drink underage (and by that, I mean that it seems like every teenager on tv sucks down booze whenever they have the opportunity).

You do have a point that it would be weird for every character under 20 to immediately refuse alcohol though because a lot of teens almost surely wouldn't do so irl (maybe it's a cultural thing? but idk anything about the drinking habits of japanese teenagers so that's quite likely a poor guess). But I don't think there's anything inherently surprising about an 18 year old turning down beer either

... some of us don't like beer, though? I had plenty of chances to drink before I was 21, and I absolutely would've turned down a free beer because I hate the way beer tastes.

nayrt but you are being pedantic. Of course some people don't like beer. I myself didn't develop a taste for alcohol at all - even the sweetest drinks - until after my teenage years.

But teens drink. Teens in Japan drink. Anime rarely portrays this and tends to go for the embarrassed giggle "I'm underage!" response when teen characters are offered alcohol.
