Alcohol consumption in Pakistan: Don't mix sin with crime

Re: Alcohol consumption in Pakistan: Don’t mix sin with crime

Did you compare the absolute numbers with other countries? The consumption is tiny and shouldn’t it remain this way? At least it is not at all as widespread as claimed by the ‘intellectuals’ in online blogs. Per capita average alcohol consumption in India is 7 times more and in UK is 70 times more than in Pakistan. I’d say prohibition is working, no?

What if people have almost NO access to alcohol [which is more or less the situation now]? Why add another choice to the variety of addictions available? I am just saying that we have a very poor record at regulating such stuff and I wouldn’t want to see children drinking on street corners as they can be found smoking away freely now.

We couldn’t regulate traffic in 1970’s… people refused to drive in lanes even then :smiley:
