JC's reactions are definitely interesting and not in the least surprising to
me.
Alcoholism is said to be a social disease and one need not drink to think like
the one who abuses it.
They will be banning beef shortly, mutton will follow. Contamination of sexes
is also a concern for the saffronites.
Then we can chicken out.
There is no relation between prohibition and the use of alcohol whatsoever.
Spurious liquor deaths also take place in Indian States where alcohol is
legally available. Problem is corruption - profits.
Spurious liquor is also legally available in Goa over the counter.
JC has become extra defensive and jumped to associating 'abstinence' with
'prohibition'.
I have never mentioned prohibition. I was talking of self-abstinence.
If the government does not curb alcohol availability then probably the women
will do it in time to come.
Already one village in Bicholim taluka has shut down all the bars.
Surprising for Goa, isn' t it?
