Found out that in Japan it's considered rude to pour your own drink at a dinner table

I was reading an article on Japan Talk last night and learned that you're supposed to refill other people's glasses instead of your own. Has anyone else run into this rule while traveling or hosting guests?

Oh man, I'd be so bad at that (I can barely pour my own drink without spilling it).

Isn't that half the fun though?

@lee_bailey65 Oh yeah, the spilling IS half the fun! Adds some character, right?
