Yes. And when you consider that a lot of Japanese women are teetotalers, the per capita stats look even crazier.
There's probably no country in the world where it's easier to drink. No age verification at convenience stores. Beer in vending machines. No laws about refusing to serve drunk customers at bars. Nomihoudai at every late night restaurant. Public drinking and intoxication legal anywhere. Perfectly normal to be hungover at work.
