Japan tells young people to drink more alcohol – BBC News
Japanese officials are asking people in their 20s and 30s to drink more alcohol to boost the country’s economy.
Younger generations in Japan drink less alcohol on average, compared to the drinking culture often found in older generations.
A new campaign has been set up by the country’s National Tax Agency to find new ways to encourage its youth to drink more often.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Could you please tell me how I can find their voice.
Since I've never been drunk, and my friends also, I guess they want me to listen it😂

Was Japan drunk when they told young people to drink more? This is really disgusting and can potentially destroy many young souls.

Telling them to drink more is an incredibly retarded idea, did they not discuss this big, serious idea AT ALL? Did they not TRY to think of other ideas? Are they at least aware of the high/low number of ratings on certain subjects that brings negative impact to their country and society that they should be able to solve?

日本の性文化は開放的だ。 また、日本女性の女子力は魅力的な日本特有の文化であり、男性を感動させる。 第2次世界大戦の敗戦後、様々な工業技術を先進国から盗み、韓国戦争で日本の経済強国に発展したが、2000年代にはその限界に達した。 したがって「失われた30年」を回復するためには古代から伝統に受け継がれてきた日本文化をさらに発展させ、観光日本を作らなければならない。 例えば「千年伝統夜這い文化、「男女混浴」、「近親結婚」、「ポルノ産業強化」などで日本の経済強国にしなければならない。

Taxes on alcohol, is meant to be a "sin tax" meant to discourage the consumption of alcohol.

Almost no Japanese actually know about this campaign. Even if they did know about it, they would not deal with it. People are all busy with their own daily lives. Only foreign news programs will cover it lol. It's ironic.

I feel so sorry for the young people growing up in Japan from being taught at school that being perfect in every category is correct and failing is wrong to having nothing to look forward to once they graduate apart from long work hours at a companies that see them as little more than slaves just to be used not people (longer work hours will definitely make it harder for the average person to consider being in a relationship which is why the amount of births in Japan is falling quickly and the overall population is getting smaller) then when working many workers are forced to come and drink after work by their bosses (and they can't say no as it will anger their bosses because in Japan Traditions it is considered rude not to drink) and now their own Government who is supposed to be helping them is encouraging them to drink even more! The future of Japan looks bleaker and bleaker every day! Soon Japan will start to mirror Societies that are in Dystopian fiction novels (If Japan hasn't already started looking like a Dystopian Country at this point) What a shame Japan, it seems the only thing advanced about the Country now is the Technology and nothing more!

In Islam it is haraam to drink alcohol or to sell it, carry it or help with it in any way whatsoever, because Allaah (God) says (interpretation of the meaning):
“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al‑Ansaab (stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc), and Al‑Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful”
Quran
[al-Maa’idah 5:90]
The Messenger (Muhammad) of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Allaah has cursed alcohol, the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who squeezes (the grapes etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried.”

Find me someone who doesn't drink alcohol, not a leftist lunatic, nor a religious fanatic. The world falls into at least one of these 3 categories statistically speaking.
