From the BBC:
Japan's finance minister is facing calls for him to resign amid claims he was drunk at a recent G7 meeting.
Shoichi Nakagawa has apologised for his behaviour but blamed cold remedies for a slurred performance at a news conference in Rome at the weekend.
You may recall similar suspicions following Nicolas Sarkozy's "winded" press conference at the '07 G8 in Heiligendamm. Which begs the question: what are they serving at these summits (and where can I get some)??
Update: Nakagawa's gone, can Aso be far behind?
