More have to do with economics, alcohols are more expensive in the East base on the earning power, so not that much people drink proportionally. However those that do drink, they drink a lot. There is definitely a drinking culture in East.

The East actually consists of quite a number of different countries. Here in this alcohol consumption world map, you can see South Korea, Japan is in higher rank than Taiwan and China. Singapore which is considered a developed country is even lower ranked. Japan is in the same rank as North America but both of them is still ranked way below European countries. Now can I say that European countries have the strongest drinking culture compared to the rest of the world?
