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) :) [1] http://www.mapsofindia.com/census2001/sexratio/sexratio-kerala.htm Kiran
