Drinking to the point of excess isn't really frowned upon much over here. If you go to a bar you often see people being carried out by friends. Vomit filled toilets is also a common sight. I've even had people next to me in restaurants throw up all over the floor (in China).
My Japanese classmate and friend went to a Chinese wedding with his Chinese girlfriend. By the end of the night both of them had passed out at least once, and the Chinese woman he went with lost her purse along with everything inside of it. He said he drank more than 2 bottles of wine to himself that night, not to mention the beer and baijiu (Chinese sake). If you're the person getting married it's worse, you have to drink with everyone that comes. That means downing a full glass of whatever they have at the table you're visiting.
