Day drinking among women is on the rise, becoming a hot topic online—"daytime drinking, bar hopping." Thanks to the liberating feeling of drinking during the day and the advantage of minimal hangovers the next morning, more and more women are casually hitting the bars. Amid this trend, the owner of a long-established izakaya, "Motsuniko," was arrested. He was found guilty of spiking drinks and forcing intoxicated female customers into sexual acts inside the premises.
