I've seen quite a few news stories about friends, acquaintances, and even spouses murdering one another after drinking and getting into an argument, in Japan.
Like the old saying goes, "Two drunk guys will start a fight. Two stoned guys will start a band."

Or the other old saying, "nothing good happens after midnight."
