Question

Write short note on anti liquor campaign

Answer 1

Answer:

The anti-alcohol campaign was mainly directed towards prohibition approach with little attention to the cultural, religious and social values of alcohol in Nepal. They mostly relate alcohol use with the social crime and violence against women and children. The use of alcohol from socio-cultural and political perspective of the indigenous people, who belong to traditionally alcohol-user group—should be considered. The prohibition of alcohol in the context of its abuse related to delinquencies and deviant behaviour to poverty, deprivation, low level of education, social injustice, social isolation and cultural discrimination that are faced by people from ethnic groups, who differ from the mainstream of dominant culture—is a matter of reasonable concern, though. Our findings do indicate that regulation of alcohol consumption in consideration of different cultural norms is the best intervention approach for the reduction of excessive production, consumption and distribution of alcohol.
