The chance of becoming dependent on it is low, and it's relatively harmless to the body.<br>　Old-style liquor is the kind that's been drunk since a long time ago, made by natural yeasts.

| en =　In establishments serving new liquor, people don't binge drink, so they're generally very clean. They're sound and hygenic places.<br>　On the other hand, old-style liquor establishments-- perhaps modeled after classic drinking places-- are often old, unclean buildings. Also, their guests somehow tend to be unpleasant people.
