Delhi tourism minister kapil sharma has opined that that when men are allowed to vote at the age of eighteen , keeping minimum age of drinking as 25 years is

unrealistic.. He would like it to be reduced atleast to 21 years.. He says this will reduce harassment of youth at the hands of police which is rampant at present.

Many night clubs with bars licensed bars are facing difficulties as they have to refuse service to youth who patronise them. For tourism to flourish in delhi , he feels

delhi should have a night life with some shops and avenues of entertainment open like singapore.

Delhi is already termed as a Rape Capital’.

If the Government reduced the age of drinking, one think about its impact and consequences on the society, more particularly at Delhi where more violence against women are reported frequently.

The Minister who belongs to ruling party can very well think in terms of reducing the pollution level by liaising with the other agencies concerned. He can think in terms of taking all out efforts to make it a clean of world class instead reducing the age of drinking.

He can very well pay better attention on improving the existing shopping and eating areas like Khan Market, Haus Khas Village, Old Delhi and Banks of Yamuna.

There is lot one can do to attract tourists to Delhi, but welfare of Delhiites is more important than attracting tourists.

Reeachers in UK have found out that a pint of liquor[not wine] consumed by middle aged women per week makes them less prone to heart attacks. So women also can

enjoy drinking hard liquor and prevent heart attacks to live longer.
 
We are in India and UK research and study, survey, etc will not hold any water here. Our people tend to take anything serious which includes merrily going for overdose of alcohol.

Alcohol's Effects on the Body


Drinking too much – on a single occasion or over time – can take a serious toll on your health. Here’s how alcohol can affect your body:

Brain:
Alcohol interferes with the brain’s communication pathways, and can affect the way the brain looks and works. These disruptions can change mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination.

Heart:
Drinking a lot over a long time or too much on a single occasion can damage the heart, causing problems including:
· Cardiomyopathy – Stretching and drooping of heart muscle
· Arrhythmias – Irregular heart beat
· Stroke
· High blood pressure
Research also shows that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may protect healthy adults from developing coronary heart disease.

Liver:
Heavy drinking takes a toll on the liver, and can lead to a variety of problems and liver inflammations including:
· Steatosis, or fatty liver
· Alcoholic hepatitis
· Fibrosis
· Cirrhosis

Pancreas:
Alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can eventually lead to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion.

Cancer:
Drinking too much alcohol can increase your risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the:
· Mouth
· Esophagus
· Throat
· Liver
· Breast

Immune System:
Drinking too much can weaken your immune system, making your body a much easier target for disease. Chronic drinkers are more liable to contract diseases like pneumonia and tuberculosis than people who do not drink too much. Drinking a lot on a single occasion slows your body’s ability to ward off infections – even up to 24 hours after getting drunk.

they require to be put down in society to evolve a better social order.

May be voluntary disclosure of an hypocrite who involves himself in all the above, which includes excessive action even in postings in this Forum. lol
 
In US,UK and in Europe, people used to consume alcohol to withstand sub 10 degree temperature.

But in India that too in Tamilnadu the winter temperature is also above 30 degrees and the warming up of body is not required at all.
First of all let our TBs ensure that their kith and kin refrain from alcohol. as like charity let tee-totalling starts from home.

Can any political leader agitating for Prohibition enforce that - will charity begin from their home? Recently when Dr.Ramadass had his party Maanadu in Coimbatore Tasmac sales crossed Rs.3 crores! This is disclosed by Natham Viswanathan!
 


JJ Ji,

The common man of Tamil Nadu knows pretty well the reason behind every political party jumping into the bandwagon of ‘Prohibition’ all of a sudden. The anti-liquor movement is now gaining momentum.

While the ruling party is very particular in milking the cash cow ‘Tasmac’ to its best advantage, the other political parties are trying take advantage of this situation and demanding prohibition and hence there are agitations, protests, demonstrations, etc going on every day.

The growing revenue of TASMAC which was just 3640 crores in 2003-2004 has rapidly grown and it is now 26,188 crores which is a clear indication that alcohol consumption is rising in the State with addition of a new consumer everyday.
Now why should we talk about these political parties which are known to adopt political opportunistism?

What are the demands of Gandhian activists who have more concern for the public welfare?

Why Sasiperumal of Kanyakumari died?

I think it is against breadwinners of poor families turning into alcoholics thus affecting their families.

It is against forcing children to drink alcohol.

It is against school going boys and girls getting into the habit of consuming liquor, etc

JJ Ji,

Please go to Posting No.1 of yours.

Women demand closure of Tasmac shops in Tirupparankundram - The Hindu

But men want the Tasmac Shop openend 24X7

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imv5yrBMhGI"


It is the womenfolk who are most aggrieved and are more particularly in favour of ‘Prohibition’.

It is a battle against bottle….

A fight against a giant….

And your posting No.1 has all the answers.

JJ Ji,

There are States functioning better with enforcement of 'prohibition'.

And there are umpteen number of solution.

All that is required is enough guts on the part of ruling Government to enforce.

The will on the welfare of the public should overbalance the revenue earned thro' TASMAC.

I know well, a staff who more particularly belongs to a rural village of Madurai, was a victim of lottery ticket. Though he experienced lot of set backs bcos of this habit, after the ban he is leading a peaceful and comfortable life now, but licking his wounds.

Similarly, there are people who had suffered a lot bcos of habit of chewing 'Paan Parag Gutka'

There was lot of revenue earned through sale of this product by the Government.

Why the Government banned this ????

Government makes abou 26000 crores revenue If Prohibition is enfored this will be wiped out OK this might be overcome by other innovative taxing policy - But to see that one man doesnot drink the government will be spending huge money He has to be taken to a doctor for certification of drunkeness 24 X7 The doctor in casuality may be busy with other emergencies and has to waste his time on issuing this certificate! Then he has to be taken to Magistrate for further legal actions - The fellow might contest and the government has to establish his guilt - You see how much money and time wasted by the Government to see a man does not drink! Then a huge police squad to enforce prohibition - These are personel health and moral problems and noo need for a Moral Police Squad! I feel prohibition is "Pogatha Oorukku Vazhi

It may be your opinion.

But the fact remains that Police Department is modernized now. The procedure elaborated by you are outmoded. . They are using new alcohol breath analysers to detect whether one is drunk beyond the permissible limit whenever they go on massive drive against drunken driving.

And we have travelled already in this ‘Vazhi’, I mean the State of Tamil Nadu has a long history of ‘Prohibition enforcement’.

Alchol lvel in the blood is the final evidance Alchol in Breath is a screening test for further action The man has every right ot contest which you cannot overlook In that case the government has to convince the court which is time cosuming not worthwhile which may end in a small fine !

Let those who wanted to contest in the Court are free to do so. It involves several hearings besides paying fees to the Advocate. He has to attend the Court every hearing.

As for Police,there will be a dedicated staff to attend to such Court matters. For individuals who are busy in life, attending court at every hearing is a time consuming exercise.

And those who enjoy pleasure out of consuming alcohol, I think richly deserve to attend court at every hearing and go through the long drawn procedure.

Still Government can cut a sorry figure in court The prosecution has to establish that the alcohol levels in Blood or breath is only because of consumptin of prohibited Liquor The benefit of doubt will always be given to the accused who may establish that the alchol level is because of the medicine he has taken which is alchol based like arishtams or some tinctures in theraputic mixtures All efforts will be only Viazaluku iritha neer! It will result in all round corruption while enforcing!
