Japanese girl I just met in a bar/restaurant:
"I think you are strange because you drink so much beer."
Different Japanese girl in a different bar/restaurant:
"You can drink a lot can't you?"
Japanese man in bar/restaurant, as gleaned from his broken English and friend's translation:
"Ladies usually drink from small glasses, not from the huge mug you're holding."
Student in a conversation about free time activities:
"I think you are probably strong drinker."

The comments appear to be a bit rude but I'm not sure if they're meant to (except for the "big mug" one, that seemed to imply you weren't being lady-like or showing good manners). The Japanese often talk about being "strong" or "weak" drinkers in terms of how much alcohol they can tolerate. A lot of Japanese women are "weak" drinkers so they probably mean you can "hold your alcohol" when they say you're a "strong drinker" and don't mean to imply you're an alcoholic or robust imbiber.

Well as I understood in what did you've say is that, your already addict in one site to another, As I understood on it, it's not bad kind of addiction that you have. Actually because of that addiction it will enhance the knowledge that you already have. And that's very good.
