Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Blue Giant
Mild and contextual: visible alcohol consumption in Tokyo jazz clubs, people drinking at late-night gigs, and some cigarette smoking are shown (IMDb notes alcohol/drugs as "mild"). These scenes are part of the nightlife setting and not glamorized as self-destructive behavior.
