The Japanese Traditions Green Tea 日本の形−茶

Genetically, oriental people get drunk faster than us gaijins, why is that?
well in the past we, gaijins invented wine and beer, wine and beer can be stored in barrels for long time, and kills most microbes, sea expeditions wouldn't be able to exists, in Japan instead rum or beer, they used some leafs from plants and boiled the water so the water was "cleaned" from microbes, and then we gaijins become genetically stronger to deal with alcohol than Japanese, yeah they have sake an alcoholic drink but they drink it in small cups and they don't dilute it, sake haves 13% a 16% of alcoholic contents is not much if you compare it with tequila or rum for example which can be from 40% to 55%, OK lets back to the topic Green Tea is what Japanese drinks more, and they refer it as Ocha お茶, and they even have a very complex ritual to make Ocha, of course modern Japanese don't do all that ritual every time they want to drink green tea, they just use an electric coffee maker, they just boil water in the stove or more easy, you can get it from vending machines, also I guess they drink cold green tea when its summer and hot green tea when is winter, correct me if I am wrong.
