Looking at the typical Salaryman I work with, yes. There are probably
more teetotaller and those unable to drink more than a few glasses
than in the west, but the guys who drink really can put it away,
whilst continually denying they do drink a lot.

As I tried to point out, check your colleagues and see how many have a
drink on arrival home and another one or two over dinner every day.
