Mr. Takeshi Tamaki, a distinguished graduate of Okayama University School of Medicine with a Doctor of Medicine degree. After serving at public health centers in Okayama and Kochi prefectures, he joined the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 1964 and has since held various prominent positions, including Chief of the Nutrition Division, Tuberculosis Adult Disease Division, Food Hygiene Division, and National Hospital Division.

Throughout his illustrious career, Mr. Tamaki has also served as Defense Counselor, Director of the Health and Welfare Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare, and Member of the Prime Minister's Office Pollution-related Health Damage Compensation Complaint Review Board. Moreover, he has held senior positions in several associations, such as Senior Managing Director, Vice President, and President of the Japan Food Hygiene Association and Director of the Alcohol Health Medicine Association since 2000.

Today, Mr. Tamaki advocates for enjoying a long and happy life through moderate drinking, a message that aligns with the Association for Alcohol Health and Medicine's motto. Recent research on alcoholic beverages supports this view, echoing Kaibara Ekiken's "Health Precepts," which state that "If you drink a little alcohol, it will help you be cheerful, relieve stress, increase your appetite, drive away your sorrows and make you lively, and it will be very beneficial. There is nothing like alcohol, but if you drink too much, it will harm you."

Enjoy a long life with moderate drinking

The Association for Alcohol Health and Medicine conducts its activities with the motto of enjoying a long life and enjoying life through moderate drinking.

The results of research on alcoholic beverages in recent years are exactly what Kaibara Ekiken's ``Health Precepts'' says, ``If you drink a little alcohol, it will help you be cheerful, relieve stress, increase your appetite, drive away your sorrows and make you lively, and it will be very beneficial. There is nothing like alcohol, but if you drink too much it will harm you." Excessive drinking is the top cause of lifestyle-related diseases, and regular attention is required.

By the way, as for my drinking, now I mostly enjoy drinking alone at home, and the amount I drink is usually no more than 1 glass. However, at meetings outside several times a month, the amount of alcohol I drink is unstoppable, and I often come home with my memory uncertain, and I end up deeply reflecting on it the next day.

I would like to say it again: I believe that enjoying a good time with friends and family, drinking alcohol in moderation, and eating appetizers that go well with them will lead to a long and prosperous life.
