Bars and other locations that sell alcohol have been hit hard by COVID restrictions, causing sales and liquor tax revenues to plunge in the world's third-largest economy.

The Japanese government's proposed solution, the "Sake Viva!" campaign, will be overseen by the National Tax Agency.

The campaign invites participants to submit ideas for how to "stimulate demand among young people" for alcohol.

.

The proposed ideas can include new services, promotional methods, products, designs and even sales techniques utilizing the metaverse or artificial intelligence.

According to the tax office, applications will be accepted until September 9.

The winner of the contest will receive support for their concept to be commercialized.

While the closure of bars throughout the pandemic drove "household consumption" up, the figures were unevenly distributed among different age groups.

According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, approximately 30% of people between the ages of 40 and 60 drink at least three days a week.

However, just 7.8% of people in their 20s drank regularly.

In this way, the decline in drinking habits year by year is thought to be having an effect on the shrinking of the domestic market, Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, via CNN

PsyPost reports that a new study by Phenikaa University in Vietnam has highlighted one of the more common and lingering symptoms of COVID-19: insomnia. As a sleep researcher, I received many questions and complaints from relatives, friends, and colleagues about their sleep disturbances after recovering from Covid-19, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost. I found that the majority of papers focused on hospitalized patients. The environment of their treatment and quarantine would differ greatly from those with milder symptoms, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost. Patients were asked to compare the quality and length of their sleep, as well as how easy it was for them to fall asleep, before and after they contracted COVID. Patients were asked to compare the quality and length of their sleep, as well as how easy it was for them to fall asleep, before and after they contracted COVID. Of the 1,056 people surveyed, over 76.1% of participants said they experienced insomnia. 22.8% of those surveyed reported experiencing severe insomnia. The study found that two groups experienced a statistically significant increased rate of insomnia, including those with depressive or anxious symptoms. The authors of the study note that further investigation of the connection between COVID, mental health problems and insomnia is needed. Since this is a cross-sectional study, the relationship of anxiety and depression with insomnia cannot be fully investigated, Dr Huong T. X. Hoang, Lead author of the article published in 'Frontiers in Public Health,' via PsyPost. In addition, collecting data online and a convenience sampling method can cause recall bias and selection bias. , Dr Huong T. X.
