This was actually an effort to appease the female voters (Kerala being the
only state in India with more women than men[1]) who have been complaining
of alcoholism related domestic violence for some time now, and this was not
their first attempt. They even tried prohibition of local liquor once. Funny
anecdote from those times is a woman complaining that earlier she got beaten
only for 50 rupees, but now gets beaten for several hundred rupees worth
(the cost of IMFL) :)
