Japan follows strict drink-driving laws, and violations often lead to harsh penalties, including hefty fines and jail time. Cases like these garner public attention and public shame for the violator is typical, as safety and responsibility are highly valued in Japanese society.

Similar to Japan, the US and EU both have strict laws regarding drink-driving, with violators facing severe penalties. Public sentiment against drink-driving is strong in all these places. However, public shaming is not as strong an element in the US and EU, when compared to Japan.
