For obvious reasons it removes the subjectivity involved in the breathalyzer tests, and how one will be getting home after a night out. Walk, train it or budget for a cab as part of your night out. Or get a non-drinking friend to be your mascot/group dd (and buy them dinner)!
But in terms of the OPs question, it looks like legal advice is your best advice. Feel bad, learn from it and be glad you didn't cause anybody serious harm.

I was only in Tokyo briefly, but from what I could tell the options were a) leave at 9 to catch the last train, b) budget a small fortune for a cab, or c) drink until 7am and get the first train out. I went with c. I enjoyed that system, or at least the pictures indicate that I did.
