In Japan in the 1870s, in the "Yokohama dialect," the word for sailor was dammuraisu, or "damn your eyes."

The ...red-faced foreigners in Japan, who drink brandy out of tumblers, and then in drunken fury roam the streets of Yokohama and nagasaki are not infrequently compared to the intoxicated monster beheaded by Raiko [children's fireside story]."
"The Japanese child .... is amazed at the great size of the mugs and drinking glasses ... from which the men of red beards and faces drink a liquid ten times stronger than saké."
