Cue the Ryan Reynolds meme: "...But why??" I've recently started my path towards sobriety (5 months next week) and I feel significantly healthier than I have ever felt over the past few decades of drinking. I feel empathy for similar folks in my position in Japan: it's already difficult enough with liquor ads almost everywhere (e.g. I see them all the time in YouTube, and I don't have recourse to tell them that I find that whole category of ads inappropriate for someone trying to fight temptation like that) but I can't imagine how difficult it would be if the _government_ is pressing you to drink more.
