Re: Pakistan Alcohol Attack
No! teenagers should not be drinking anyway.
And nobody should be drinking and driving.
Deaths on the road are not directly related to alcohol example, Saudi.
So alcohol do not kill - stupid people do, and stupid people are stupid drinkers and non drinkers alike.
Re: Pakistan Alcohol Attack
LB you are rational enough to understand that this argument of bomb or bullet or booz not killing people is not true.
"Khuda ganjey ko nakhun na dey"
If you allow booz in a country where 90% of people obtain driving license without ever taking a driving test and 50% drive without a license, its like giving Baandar key hath bandooq and standing in the firing line.
We all know that environment influences people, to make it safe one has to make rules. Booz alters persons ability to make right decisons, rational people will over drink if under stress. One drive under influence of Booz has destroyed lives of honest hard working people.
Besides would you like to add something to your house that has no benfit but potentially hundreds of dangers?
Re: Pakistan Alcohol Attack
^ Given the current situation in our country I don't think it's a good idea.
It will give those who use religion as a means of furthering their political agendas another stick to beat the gov with.
Besides alcohol is bad for indivudals and socities, our country shouldn't make it acceptable.
I'm sure some people say the same for religion, but it all boils down to the acts of people.
I'm for legalizing alcohol since it would cut down on the flourising black market and unnecessary deaths like this. Just because it is banned doesn't mean people won't drink it.
Homosexuality is banned in Saudi Arabia yet it has a flourishing secret gay life.

Thanks for the compliment but I disagree with your line of thought.

Yeah that would be painful. :)

This further proves my point that the problem is not the booze but the corrupt people in traffic department. 50% people driving without any driving training is dangerous by itself. I don't know if there is any survey done by any police department about how many accidents were done while DUI and how many were not, but I feel safe to assume that the number of non drinking people involved in accidents must be higher.

I agree to run a society you have to have rules and nobody should be above the rules. As I see it some rules in Pakistan need to be changed eg strictness of the driving training and tests. Zero tolerance for DUI eg Dubai, Driver's license is a privelege and a resposibilty, you get caught DUI your DL gets canceled. Plain, simple and surgical.
Booze alters the thinking process but do not takes away the thinking capacity. Only irrational person would over drink and then try to drive a car.
You do have a point that no matter how many laws of DUI you have, some nut one day will do it and crash into some innocent person but I think it's the same for any other substance as guns or cars. No matter how much secure system you make you can never make it idiot proof.
Besides would you like to add something to your house that has no benfit but potentially hundreds of dangers?
Well thats a matter of personal choice but we are talking about society as whole.
Re: Pakistan Alcohol Attack
Alcohol is not good, nothing good about it, bad for health, bad for society etc...
I also agree with what Iconoclast said, it's like giving a gun to a monkey, Paki people are not responsible enough, the negative impacts will be far greater on an undeveloped/uneducated society like ours, at least in the West they have some sense and strict laws, even then it's not without its problems..
Society needs rules and parameters, certain things like alsochol and homo-sedx have to be forbidden by law to keep society decent, what people do in the privacy of their own home is between them and God though, spying to prosecute someone is sinful.

Re: Pakistan Alcohol Attack
Don’t they produce mainly non-alcholic beer and such?
Re: Pakistan Alcohol Attack
No man. They produce the goods the foreigners and corrupt officials drink.
