Virtual Cheers! Japan's 'nomikai' goes online for coronavirus time

Would much rather sip on my Macallan single malt alone with some quiet music in the background, rather than in the presence of a bunch of virtual drunkards polluting my eye and earspace with their caterwauling and chatter

I can already imagine what this is like. People (especially women) showing pictures of food or other inanimate objects on the video feed while talking with a high pitched voice. The more courageous people will probably show themselves with masks covering 3/4 of their faces.
