Hope it helps. Try not to get carried away though.

You are very right. Alcohol consumption isn't seriously restricted in terms of age by the police. The main reason is that people under 20 don't drive, for the most part. The legat B.A. limit in Japan is 0.0, so people that want to drink do not drive.
There is no tolerance for illegal drugs.
But the police will be less strict than your hosts. It doesn't require polive intervention for you to be in trouble.
