This can only happen in Japan, sake vending machines inside the Ponshukan train station. No need to hit the pub, when you can do your drinking at a train stop. The top alcoholic drink in Japan is sake and for 500 yen ($4.70USD est.) you can get 5 shots at this place. They have over 120 different sakes on tap.
Yeah in 1980 I got my fist whiskey from one at 16!
