Prohibition not a solution
by Vijay Shanker on Apr 17, 2008 02:08 PM

In Tamil Nadu and other States across India a realistic solution to reducing ALCOHOL ABUSE is to permit the LIQUOR SHOPS and BARS to be OPEN ONLY FOR 3 or 4 Hours a day in the evening. Nowafays we can see the arrack, wine shops being opened at 6 AM - early morning you can see people having a drink before going to work. Imagine the level of efficiency! Also by closing shops early the average 'drinker' will go home to his family a bit sooner and probably be less drunk.
