Japan launches campaign urging young people to drink more booze.
The Japanese government wants the nation’s youth to get drunk for their country.
Officials have launched a campaign to lure more young people into buying booze so the debt-ridden country can reap tax revenue from liquor sales, according to reports.
The “Sake Viva!” campaign — created by the country’s tax agency — seeks business proposals from young people or groups with ideas on how to “revitalize” the nation’s booze industry, Bloomberg reported.

Their birthrate is now below replacement rate, nobody is getting married or having sex, it's a national crisis. Now I learn they aren't drinking either. Hmm... one wonders if there might be a connection. Raise your hand if you were ever in a sexual situation because of alcohol.
Drink more and pay more in taxes.
