Only slightly related, but I've just found out about Japanese bars nomihodai, or "all you can drink for 2 hours" pricing scheme, and I'm flabbergasted by it. It sounds like it'd lead to incredibly dangerous behavior. I wonder if there's some Japanese cultural thing that makes it safer than it sounds.

Japan indeed does have a cultural thing related to that. It's called "binge drinking."

Japan has a really bad drinking culture, or so I've been led to believe.
