Mayor Bans City Employees From Drinking Posted May 23, 2012 by Jay Michaels
I think I'd quit!

Here's one way to deal with the scandalous activities of your city workers. The mayor of Fukuoka, Japan has banned all public servants from drinking alcohol in public for a month. Fed up with the liquor-fuelled bad behavior of his city employees, which recently included the assault of a taxi driver and a former staffer, Mayor Soichiro Takashima announced the booze ban in an emergency meeting on Monday. Although no law exists to enforce the ban on drinking outside the workers' homes, the city is apparently "strictly enforcing" the measure, perhaps with fun police. No word on whether the workers have an epic bender planned for next month.
