Hi,

Thank you.
Thank you very much, Riverkid San (Sir/Ma'am). You really reminded me that it's now evening time (night?) in your place. My Konbanwa to you from the morning here :-) .
Riverkid San, can I ask you one more question about the phrase? When it is used after an unpleasant occasion is over, 'drink quickly and a lot' should be most probable? In this case, here the 'away' could mean 'down the throat' but not 'back to the fridge' as the other two do, am I right?
ARIGATOU (Thank you)!

"He really puts the drinks away" means that they go down the throat and not back to the fridge.

'san wa, irimasen, Haihao. As soon as I posted, I did a quick time change and I realized that it is morning there in Chiba. Ohayo gozaimasu, Haihao.

If that's the context, then yes, as Ron noted.

Thank you very much, RonBee San, for your 'flat-out' and 'cut-through' instruction.:-D I really love it!
ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU! Riverkid, SUBARASHII NIHONGO DESU! Have you ever been to Japan? I guess (sure) you have.
