But on the serious note, the Japanese officials have recently toughened up the law on drunk driving where if you're caught drunk driving, you can be fined up to approx. $10,000USD or be imprisoned for maximum of 5 years. And I believe this applies to all the passengers in the vehicle, not just the driver(Imprisonment with hard labor not exceeding 3 years or a fine not exceeding approx.$5,000USD for DUI; 2 years imprisonment, approx.$3,000USD fine for DWI.) Wow.
My recent visit to Japan was such an eye opener in this respect. I saw none of my friends drive drunk. There'd always be a designated driver, or we'd utilize public transportation, or utilize this service called the "Daiko" where you can hire a driver who would drive you, your company, and your car back to your destination. The cost of this service is almost equivalent to the taxi cab service.
Here's a flyer I found. It's called the "Heavy Metal Bou-Nen-Kai" I'm so there \m/
