Lightworks and Asahi Beer Team Up for E-Learning on Smart Drinking

In a significant move towards promoting responsible drinking, Lightworks, a company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced a collaboration with Asahi Beer to launch a free e-learning program themed around Smart Drinking (スマドリ). The program will be available from May 26, 2025, through the learning management system (LMS) CAREERSHIP® and the e-learning subscription service, Manabi Premium.

The Launch of E-Learning Content

CAREERSHIP® is one of Japan's largest LMS platforms, boasting over 5.8 million users. This initiative stands as the first of its kind aimed at enriching the lives of working individuals by combining essential business skills with health education. The e-learning content, titled "Drinking Knowledge Check Quiz," aims to enhance understanding of responsible drinking practices among employees.

Context and Importance

In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on health consciousness and respect for diversity, leading to a reevaluation of alcohol consumption and drinking culture. Asahi Beer's Smart Drinking initiative encourages individuals to choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages based on their personal health and social context. This new perspective is increasingly recognized as essential in today’s work environment.

Recognizing the vital importance of promoting a workplace culture that respects employees' health and freedom of choice, Lightworks has collaborated with Asahi Beer to develop this educational content. The e-learning program will be freely accessible to companies that utilize CAREERSHIP and Manabi Premium.

Content Overview of the "Drinking Knowledge Check Quiz"

• - Format: E-learning (accessible via smartphone, tablet, and PC)
• - Estimated Learning Time: Approximately 15 minutes
• - Main Topics: With the resumption of business gatherings post-COVID-19, there has been a rise in drinking-related issues. These issues can directly affect a company's reputation and lead to legal risks.

This content is structured in a quiz format where participants can quickly learn about "correct drinking knowledge" and the "right amount and appropriate timing" for alcohol consumption.
