While most countries would welcomesobrietyamong their youth, Japan hasveeredin the opposite direction: with a campaign for them to drink more alcohol. The east-Asian nation’s tax agency is requesting ideas on how to tempt younger citizens to step up theirtipplingas the finance ministryfrets overthe fiscal implications of generational change.

虽然大多数国家都欢迎年轻人戒酒,但日本却转向了完全相反的做法:发起了一场鼓励年轻人喝更多酒的行动。这个东亚国家的国税厅正就如何吸引年轻公民多喝点酒征求意见,因为日本财务省正对代际变化对财政产生的影响感到担忧。

The planned intervention follows the failure of Japan’s drinks industry, despite all its marketing powers, to stem a long-term slide in Japanese alcohol consumption that began well over a decade before the pandemic.

在计划采取干预措施之前,日本酒水行业就已经经营不善了,尽管拥有强大的营销能力,但日本酒水业未能阻止日本酒类消费的长期下滑,这种情况在疫情爆发的十多年前就开始了。

Taxes on alcohol products accounted for 3 per cent of the government’s tax revenue in 2011, but had fallen to 2 per cent by 2020, according to the tax agency. Japan’s government runs a chronic budget deficit and has total debts equivalent to more than twice the nation’s gross domestic product.

根据日本国税厅的数据,2011年,对酒类产品征收的税占到了政府总税收收入的3%,但到2020年这一比例已下降至2%。日本政府一直以来都存在预算赤字,债务总额相当于国内生产总值的两倍以上。

A fall in the total volume of alcohol consumed in Japan was inevitable once theindigenouspopulation began to shrink over a decade ago and the proportion of citizens aged over 65 increased to more than a quarter of the country eight years ago. According to figures released by the tax agency, Japan’s average per adult annual intake of booze has dropped from 100 litres per year in 1995 to 75 litres in the 2020 fiscal year.

The World Health Organization in 2018 put Japan’s annual per capita drinking rate — expressed in terms of pure alcohol — at eight litres a year, more than China’s 7.2 litres but less than the UK’s 11.4. Younger Japanese people, in common with many others of their generation elsewhere in the world, drink less heavily than theirforebearsand increasingly do not drink at all. “Sake Viva!” is the latest in a long history of schemes designed to offset the effects of Japan’s population ageing and shrinking, as well as changing attitudes towards health and consumption.

世界卫生组织2018年的数据显示,日本的年人均饮酒量——以纯酒精计算——为每年8升,高于中国的7.2升,但低于英国的11.4升。日本的年轻人,就像世界其他地方的许多同龄人一样,饮酒量比过去几辈人少,而且越来越趋向于完全不喝酒的状态。“酒精万岁!”的活动,是日本长期以来计划抵消日本人口老龄化和萎缩以及人们对健康和消费态度转变带来的影响而推出的最新举措。
