Major Japanese alcohol beverage manufacturers will reportedly begin showing the alcohol content of beer and chuhai spirits products in grams, as well as percentages, on their websites. The companies plan to include this information on product containers as well in the future. Japan’s Health Ministry has stated that the risk of lifestyle-related disease increases when men consume 40 grams of alcohol per day and women consume 20 grams per day, translating to three cans of beer with 5% alcohol for men and two cans for women. Chuhai products reportedly contain nearly 10% alcohol.
