Japan has an alcohol problem and is getting worse with the economic downturn. There are 15,000 bars in Tokyo alone and over 3 million problem drinkers. And although alcohol consumption is now decreasing in most industrialized countries, it has quadrupled in Japan since 1960. Sixty percent of problem drinkers are salaried businessmen who claim that getting drunk with clients or coworkers is part of their job and a mark of company loyalty. To refuse a drink from the boss is a terrible insult that can damage a career. Drinking is not a moral issue there, since there is no religious prohibition against alcohol consumption, and the temperance movement has never had an impact. And unlike many Westerners, the Japanese don't regard alcohol as a drug.
