The Evils of Drinking Liquor

Drinking has ruined more families than anything else. A drunkard spends all his earnings in liquor. He forgets his responsibilities to provide for his family. Drinking affects the physical and mental health of a person. Every day hundreds of people in India die from damaged livers and kidneys. Many more are left bankrupt from medical treatment of alcohol related diseases. They also become unemployed because they can no longer work efficiently. Addiction to alcohol leads to completed degeneration of man, physically and spiritually. No lost the trust and the respect of their community. They are laughed at by everyone. Nobody cares about them.

We must not forget that alcoholism is always linked to various criminal and antisocial activities. The government launched poster campaigns with slogans like “Drinking is injurious to health". But this appears to be nothing but a publicity stunt. It is still granting licences for liquor shops. The government is more interested in financial income from liquor taxes than the well being of the citizens.

Aspirations and ambitions are crushed by alcohol. Careers are ruined. The youths become a liability instead of assets to the nation.

Education and awareness on the evils of drinking must be taken up on a war footing. Strict policies on the production and sale of alcohol must be framed.

The government, voluntary organisations and the community must come together and approach the evils of alcoholism in a pragmatic way. They should work hand in hand to root out this destructive menace to the family, the community and the nation.
