Japan averages shorter working hours than the US though - so they literally have more time to go out.

This is NOT true in practice, unpaid overtime is insane and people’s actual work hours are way longer in Japan

To some degree yes, since they don't reflect unpaid overtime, much less de facto overtime (the boss is going out drinking until 1AM, so we're all going out drinking until 1 AM).

I was aware of this particular hidden data, but this thread made me think.

How much is missing from our own historical data? Things understood in the day, but not now, rendering stats less translateable.

Wow that is possibly the most wildly inaccurate thing I've read in a while.
