I've been in China for over two years now and during that time, I've witnessed as much drinking and partying by the Chinese, if not more, than I've seen back home in the West.
If the locals want Westerners to show more respect in their country they need to show a better example.
You don't know the amount of times I've been implored with the words 'ganbei'to sink the contents of my glass,be it full of beer or even baijiu.
If anything many school employers ENCOURAGE us 'laowais' to join them in getting rat-arsed drunk.
Can you let me know what the 'kind and lovely people'get up to every weekend all over China in Karaoke bars?Is this what westerners are supposed to respect?
If wanting a drink and the company of a woman amounts to bringing poison to the East then it makes no sense because by that reasoning China has enough poison of it's own.
Let men be MEN! Wether Chinese ,Korean,Western or whatever.We're teachers,and they're employers and businessmen,not choirboys!
