Don't come to Japan. It's the cultural norm to only fill a glass or a cup 1/2 - 2/3's full!
This really used to tick me off when I first arrived, and took years before I came to terms with it, made worse by the fact that the local cup sizes were much smaller than I was used to in the US. A "Large" here was the same size as a "Regular" in the States. This has changed a bit over the past 20 years, but there is still no "Jumbo" sizes sold nor any "Big Gulps" sold in convenience stores.
