"I deeply apologize for immensely having troubled the prime minister, the people and other related parties due to my carelessness of health management."
Enough already. Our Man's tired of the whole sorry affair, and is actually beginning to almost feel sorry for the chap. Besides, Our Man may have health management issues of his own that may affect related parties (translation: he might have a beer tonight while Our Woman watches the telly).

Salutations from Saizeriya! You're bored with this saga, but may I be so irksome as to add a comment? I assume you occasionally peruse that most august of publications, The London Times. If I'm correct, you may have seen their article about sozzled statesmen. It includes this titbit about Churchill:
"When Churchill was sent out to cover the Boer War, he packed the following: 18 bottles of scotch, 36 bottles of wine and 6 bottles of brandy. This set the theme for the rest of his career. Churchill famously refused to give up alcohol to set an example to the troops, though he was strict about the importance of not having hard liquor before breakfast. Ultimately, he concluded: 'I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.'"
Churchill was on the winning side in the Boer War as well as WWII. Only one conclusion is possible: Nakagawa should've imbibed more, not less!

Indeed. Otto von Bismark liked two bottles of port a day, for medicinal purposes. Hence his famous quote "Politics is as pissed as a fart as possible."
