Dorothy makes an interesting point over this debate, in one of the smaller net groups:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/panchayat-india/message/209 She asks: Can 45% Goans be alcoholic, as the title suggests, if 45% consume alcohol? Does it refer to 45% adult Goans (both men and women)? Not many women give the impression of suffering from alcoholism in Goa... While not attempting to minimise the problem of alcoholism here (fuelled by State policies too, including in post-Liberation times), Dorothy's questions do strike a lay-reader like me as having some merit.
