Sake drinking dates back to the samurai period where common people used to drink sake in a Shinto ritual to form a bond with the deities. This was always done in a group where it is thought that this sharing of sake ritual united people and created a bond of friendship between them with God as the helper. (x)

"nakama
The Japanese term for friend(s), buddy(ies), crew, ally(/ies) comrade(s), or gang. In the Japanese version of the anime One Piece, this term has a deeper meaning, describing friends who are more like family, especially in the context of Luffy's crew. Because of this, many popular fansubs of it do not translate this term.
