The Japanese seem to love a drink as much as anyone else. On the whole, at least compared to most Aussies I know, they are lightweights when it comes to how much they can consume which is one of the reasons why nomi hodai (all you can drink) options can actually be profitable here. In Aus if you had something like that you'd lose big time. I haven't seen too many violent drunks here but there are a few and I have seen a number of drunken brawls over the years. I've also helped a few Japanese get a taxi after finding them practically unconcious laying in the snow on my way home. I've also seen quite a few drunk drivers. Up here in the inaka I guess they think they have a better chance of getting away with it, which is quite true.
