They drink far less and in a different way than Westerners. They go to a restaurant and enjoy some beers with their dinner, usually in the company of their wives, and they go home before midnight. Big difference from going to some bar and looking to do some not so respectable things.

No, you should be a gentleman, that's a real man. If you can't be one, then stay in your own country. And if you are a real man, then you would have the guts to refuse a drink when you don't want one, rather than being controled by others.

No, actually, if you compare the weekend activities of an average Chinese University student and the average American or Australian (etc...) student, there is a big difference.

There are the peasants from the Western farm provinces of China, they have no manners and a certainly not gentlemen. They are looked down upon by most other Chinese people as animals, not people. Maybe you refer to them as getting drunk. They do it as a group of migrant workers, a way to show comradery, they are home by midnight.

Again, show some respect for other cultures. If you want to drink and have the life of the party, stay in your own country. It is not your business to come here and do those kinds of things. They hire you to teach English to school children, not to go out and get drunk at night and so on. Ask the Chinese teachers what they do in their free time, I seriously doubt any of them will say they stay out late and go to bars...and so on... If you want to be like that, come as a tourist, spend your money, then leave.

China has enough problems, the last thing the country needs is some immorale foreigners running around the place like it is a University Fraternity party.
