Liquor Sales and Consumption - Inputs on Key Issues
Dear Friends,
Some of you had earlier suggested that this subject be taken up for review.
While the objective of this post is by no means to ban liquor in India, it is to drive the bad (corruption, illegal sales, sales to minors, deaths due to bad liquor, drunken driving, etc) out of the liquor sales and consumption supply chain.
With this post, we would like you to list the key issues relating to Liquor Sales and Consumption in India.
Once we know the key issues, we will review Root Causes and Solutions through separate posts with the objective of submitting a whitepaper to the key Government authorities who can take necessary actions on the subject.
I look forward to your participation!

Later on the pressure of the Liquor mafia these were removed. Can these be again brought back? Can the government encourage the younger generation to go for traditional drinks like lassi, coconut water etc. through special kiosks /vendors giving special license so that the quality if not compromised at a reasonable rates. more

Wine shops should be strictly prohibited to operate near schools/hospitals, they should not be given permission to set up shop at least inside 1 km radius from the school/hospital. Wine shops have parking space but what is the point of having parking space and to ban drunken driving?? Either they have to ensure at least one person in the group is not drunk so that he/she can take others who are drunk in the vehicle. more

More liquor shops than any other shops are generally seen everywhere is an indicator of our fall!Country liquors should be banned.Branded liquor shop licence should be permitted one in a taluk/district head quarters before totally banning liquor.Unlike in western countries because of the cold climate,it is a luxury to Indians. more
