I guess they don't want to start holding people to account for their performance regardless of alcohol consumption because then almost every public servant would be in trouble.

Don't worry, checking which blood group they are will identify who needs to be given a window seat and who can be promoted.

I predict a sudden surge in domestic violence in Fukuoka

I admire your positive take on the situation

Perhaps if they closed down all fuzoku places they could reverse the population decline

After 15 zombie novels in less than 3 month you too would have a totally enthusiastic viewpoint when you go out and are faced with clueless morons (also called "locals") that are not decaying walking corpse trying to eat your brain... (well... at least the "not eating your brain" part is mostly true...)
