Hi all,
I was wondering if I would encounter issues with the fact that I don't drink if I got a job with a Japanese company? I wouldn't want to insult anyone but I don't drink. Its not religious or anything but still. I know that drinking is tied into the Japanese society pretty tightly and that drinking out with your boss and coworkers is a normal occurrence.
Thanks for any input you may offer!
 
Just say you are allergic. Or drive everyday.

Personally though I think it is perfectly acceptable to be the oolong tea drinker, and just by being a foreigner you are already excused from some social expectations I think. Don't worry too much about it. Being there is more important than being drunk.
 
Thanks for the responses all! :)

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond! :)

I also posted to the GaijinPot forums and got similar answers there so I am fairly sure that it won't be an issue.
