So in the recent news cops catch a few people selling fake liquor in expensive bottles, I am sure this is only the tip of the iceberg
New Year bust Ordinary whiskey in Scotch bottles
and on the other hand in West Bengal the toll of people dying due to illicit liquor is on the rise.
Hootch Tragedy
Hooch horror in Bengal
and we have people like Anna Hazare saying "flog boozers"
Netizens rap flog boozers barb of Anna Hazare
according to Anna there is no Tobacco and Liquor sold in his state
Tobacco liquor not sold in Anna Hazares village
but the actual truth is he has just scared people of his village into giving up alcohol
Fear and intimidation in Anna Hazares model village
Why do you think this is happening..
The Maharashtra government has raised Taxes on booze
Excise duty foreign liquor country liquor
Then they also raise the age to which you are allowed to drink
Drinking age for liquor in Maharastra
So why will illicit liquor or smuggling not be on the rise,
Its quite simple you see, we live in a democratic county and we are free to do what we want as long as we are not breaking any laws. In any city just like Mumbai where people are working like dogs to earn a little to a lot of money, we all put in a hard days work, its nice to end the day or the weekend on a little high. After all are we not all working towards being happy. So while the earning has stayed the same the prices for everything has been raised, and this rise of Tax is affecting the happiness of the state.
Of course people will look at buying things at a cheaper rate, if only the original came at a smaller price no one would buy fake booze risking their lives, also cutting down on the profits of smugglers thus cutting down the crime. Would you ever think of smuggling cheaper booze in states like Goa or Daman no why cause its already cheap there, it would be a stupid business.
What if booze was made really cheap, do you think that the entire country would turn dunk, I don't think so, its the case where the forbidden fruit is the one that is desired the most. But there is always the case of bad fruit spoils the case, there are a few who spoil the fun for all, its takes just a few over drunk people to spoil the happiness of the rest. A young few who drink and drive and spoil it for the millions who are responsible drunks.
Drunk Driving
So what should be done.. Lower and cheaper booze or a complete ban, I think lets just open a bottle have a peg or two and then we can decide later.
!! Cheers!!
