The story
A thread titled “I’m drinking from the morning~” popped up on 5ch’s News VIP board, where the original poster reported sipping a lemon sour first thing in the morning. Replies poured in one after another — some admitting they couldn’t resist breaking their “liver-rest day,” others siding with the morning-coffee crowd. The conversation eventually turned to a regular poster known for day-drinking in a park for years, who ended up being gifted the kotehan (fixed handle name) “Home Run,” named after the size of the canned chu-hi he used to drink. Amid the fun, some commenters also voiced concern for his health.
What people said
Oh hey Yodare, morning to you too
Nice weather, perfect day for park drinking
Are you drinking something at this hour too, Yodare?
Mornin' v(^q^)
Drinking outside at this hour is next-level hyper-creative
Finished cleaning and laundry, so I'm sipping yesterday's leftover drink while knocking out some work odds and ends
Morning, Nao
I was lying around all day yesterday so I'm feeling great
Are you drinking something too, Nao?
Mornin' to ya~ I'm having morning coffee
Man, I wanna drink
Push your liver-rest day to tomorrow and let's cheers together!
Wish they'd use the name field so we could tell them apart
Oh really?
If it's better to use a handle name, I'll do that
It's strong
Plum wine on the rocks packs a pretty high alcohol content
Can't do carbonated stuff
Sake tastes bad to me
Doing chores this early is impressive
It's amazing you can work while drinking
What's that leftover drink you're sipping?
If not now, when?
I'll just sleep whenever I get sleepy
Not sure what it is but it's whiskey-flavored
I think it'd be funnier if you got a handle name (^q^)
Going to the hair salon, how fashionable
What sake are you gonna drink?
Though if I don't drink water too, the hangover's gonna be brutal
If it's that high-grade, it's usually delicious
Strong drinks definitely need a chaser
Sleeping whenever you get tired sounds great
A handle name, huh, what should I pick
I'm already called "Home Run" but I'm not even drinking the home-run-size cans anymore lol
No way (^q^)
So you're already known as Mr. Home Run lol
"Drinker Home Run" — simple and hilarious
About 4 years ago I was drinking the Strong-type Lemon-do (a strong lemon chu-hi brand) in the home-run-sized can, and the regulars from back then still call me Home Run
I've actually been park-drinking for about 8 years now
That handle name, seriously "Strong Home Sunrise" is great
You'd think some super-powerful robot just showed up, but nope, just a drinker
I'm drinking alcohol while on medication lol
The park-drinking part came first chronologically anyway
The park-drinking identity is pretty strong
But I still want you to add something, it's funny
Re: #37
Is it not that great for you (^q^)
I eat in between drinks
For lunch it's usually instant ramen
Tell me what snacks you bring to the park (^q^)
If you've got nothing, what do you do, chase pigeons or something?
It varies day to day, but today I'm snacking on pound cake
By the way, Ichinokura-neki (a regular nicknamed after the sake brand Ichinokura) drinks literally the whole time she's awake lol
She's an iron woman
How rude
There's plenty of time I'm not drinking, like when I'm shampooing or brushing my teeth lol
Thought "nice v(^q^)" but it turned out to just be dry, throat-parching food
Somehow another super-strong robot got introduced again
I mean that's basically all the time lol
If you were drinking even then, that'd be scary lol
At that point you wouldn't even be human anymore lol
Replying to my own post — what even is this nonsense wording lol
Drinking while shampooing is technically possible, but while brushing your teeth it's physically impossible lol
Yodare, you're already one of us now
You forgot to add something to your name too, you know
Booze and I are forever friends (zuttomo)
But I keep it at a nice relaxed pace
That's right, you should drink too! 🤖
Background and Key Points of This Topic
VIP is a board where lighthearted, idle chat threads like this pop up all the time, and this one followed the typical pattern: anonymous posters chatting about drink brands and whether they take days off from drinking, which naturally snowballed into someone picking up a nickname. Within the thread, the lifestyle of the poster who said he’s been day-drinking in a park for years drew both amusement and concern, creating a noticeable gap between the casual, fun tone of the banter and the more worried reactions about his health. It’s worth noting that claims like “I’ve been park-drinking for 8 years” and “I drink alcohol while on medication” are self-reported statements on an anonymous board and cannot be verified.
