At a recent G7 meeting, Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa, appeared "drunk" with incoherent rambling and appearing to fall asleep.
Nakagawa blamed the incident on "Cough Medicine" that he had taken for a cold and a couple of sips of wine. Either way it was a massive embarresment for the world's second largest economy, and Nakagawa has now quit his position.
"I have caused trouble to the prime minister and other people," Mr Nakagawa said. "I apologise for causing a commotion through not taking enough care of my health."
