Thread: Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    How can you drink an entire bottle of sake thinking its water or medicene?

    And how can you be a natural master at a fighting style? Drunken fist still has to be taught. If he wasn't taught, then he'd just try to do his regular moves while drunk.

    Maybe he had one of those types of medicine that are artificially flavored like a fruit or something. And the sake was also flavored as such for some reason.

    And maybe the Drunken Fist is a Bloodline Limit....Or something that Lee's family knows....*shrugs* Just a guess.

    Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    Just as Neji mastered the kaiten w/o having been taught, Lee does drunken boxing.
    Not all moves have to be taught.

    If Lee has never had alcohol before then he doesn't/isn't expected to know the taste.

    EDIT: As to why Lee can't recognize the taste of alcohol, that's only something we can guess about, to get a real answer you'd have to consult Kishimoto.
    Who knows even he might not know, could simply be a plot hole that was overlooked.

    RE: Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    He's probably not using 'official' drunken fist, but he's probably trying to fight while drunk, and it turns out that way.

    Well, if Lee's never had alcohol at all, he may not know specifically what sake is supposed to taste like.

    Frankly, sake is strong and can be overwhelming if you've never had it before, and a good number of medicines are also strong and unpleasant tasting.

    Oh, and have you ever had Japanese plum wine? I SWEAR it tastes exactly like the old red cough syrup you used to get when you were a child.

    Lee may just have thought "Oh, well, tastes like medicine, must BE medicine."

    Not all medicine tastes the same, and I assume he hadn't gone drinking on purpose before, so he probably just thought that was the way that medicine tasted. There's no point in taking the time to worry about what Lee can taste or not anyways. As for Lee being a natural at drunken boxing, perhaps he was taught and learned quickly or just became much more destructive after drinking. Drunken boxing as a bloodline is just retarded.

    Maybe everyones looking at it wrong. Maybe he's a natural drinker. The more he drinks the more powerful he becomes. Maybe there's an inner Lee and he only comes out when Lee's drunk. Just like how Ino couldn't control Sakura because there was Inner Sakura. Inner Lee knows how to do drunken boxing. That's why he is a natural when it comes to drunken boxing.

    Hey hey! It was a thought!

    And he has drunk sake before. Remember when Gai said he was knocked out and Lee destroyed the place they were at? Although he might not remember it so...*shrugs*

    Lee just gets drunk really fast, one sip of alchol and he's already kungfu-ing...
    and becuase of the hangover, he never remembers what happend, and no one would dare to tell him that he turns into a awsome fighting machine, cuz they all know he'll try to train himself to control that style and end up being drunk and destryoing stuff

    RE: Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    What IM wondering.. is what the hell is there a bottle of sake right next to Lee's medicine in the first place? its a hospital for god sakes. And Lee didn't identify the taste as alcohol because he thougth the taste was "medicine that always has a bad taste"

    RE: Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    Gai said he left it there when he noticed that the bottle with the real medicine was still sitting there.

    Not sure why Gai would be drinking at a time like that but...

    RE: Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    The first time was when Gai and Lee were celebrating Lee's mastering of the lotus in a resturant, so when they got thier drinks, Lee took by mistake Gai's sake, and the rest is history...

    the other bottle of sake belongs to Tsunde, and since she's on the same scale of Jiriya, we know that she likes to drink, so she probably left her bottle there when she checked Lee's condition..

    RE: Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    sake is usually has around 10-20% alcohol content which is not strong. besides, lee is an idiot just like gai. he could've drank piss and probably wouldn't have known the difference.

    RE: Lee aparently can't taste alcohol.

    i think it would be fun if we where to find out that he toke the sake on purpose, and that he some how found out what he did to resturant.
    so that he knows what happens to him when he drinks... (he goes nuts...bonkers...berserk... i think you get the idea [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] )

    Sake has a max of about 20% alcohol, which is 40 proof. A good deal stronger than beer, but not nearly as strong as a shot of something like tequila. However, sake's taste is very strong.

    So I take it you didn't like the way that Naruto accidentally summoned the little toad during the Gaara fight in the most recent ep? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
