I'd be careful on the alcohol front -- it’s a bit of a stereotype and common mistake for newbies. It can be avoided with grace (should you want to) by pointing to medical reasons -- most of the time anyway. Altough this can leave you in an all or nothing spot. That said red wine has a status approaching medince and I have claimed on many ocassion that my doctor has told me to only drink red wine -- it at least keeps the baijiu away. Or just bring an intern along and have him/her drink for you
