The older generation in Japan was a hard drinker – today’s youth, however, drink too little. At least that’s what Japan’s government thinks and is launching a pro-alcohol campaign.

Many people agree that it’s actually a positive thing when young people don’t over-reach for the bottle – one would think so. The situation is very different in Japan: the government there has now launched a campaign to encourage the country’s youth to drink more. Some people like the campaign called “Sake Viva” – but others also express criticism, such as the chairman of the association “No to alcohol”. But why does the Japanese government want young people to drink more anyway?
