@TC[jpn]: Does the Japanese really imply "overboard"? Not just "drinks a lot"? If it's fine, would "drinks too much" fit, too?

The japanese says: John often drinks much sake.

> The japanese says: John often drinks much sake.

It almost means this, though 酒 means alcoholic drinks in general

John sometimes drinks a lot.
