Why India fears alcohol

not welcome in india

Most people start with their intro on their first post.. They talk about who they are what the represent.well i wont do that cause this is a blog not a dating site so lets get down to business.While reading the newspaper something caught my attention,Times of India has started a campaign against the century old law on minimum drinking age which makes drinking under the age of 25 illegal,you don't have to read that again its not a typo it really is 25!The Indian government actually expects us to drink pepsi on our graduation.Now any sane person would declare such a law as preposterous well not in India..the majority of the country's older generation stand for the law! India is the land of non drinkers first of all the whole idea of drinking is not widely excepted in the society there are many reasons for that the FIRST is that India had been ruled by the Mughals for almost a thousand years,. now Mughals > Muslim rulers > Muslims hate alcohol > India hates alcohol.get the picture? The SECOND reason is Indian people are culturally very conservative, boundaries are fixed for everything,what you do what you believe in,you are supposed to only do as you are told and what they consider ''right'' now why would people like that encourage alcohol? Everyone knows that alcohol makes us break boundaries makes us do things without caring about what anyone else would think.makes us speak our mind out.Of course the conservatives cant allow that.The THIRD reason is we are party poopers Indian government is against anything which is fun.now i have to admit there are some negative points of alcohol as too much of it is harmful for health and drinking and driving kills a lot of people around the world every year but then again TOO MUCH of anything is bad even coffee,so should the minimum age for caffeine also be 25? and when we talk about drinking and driving, isn't driving also a responsible for the deaths so why is the minimum driving age 18?What do they want to prove that an automotive which can run over people safer then a pint of beer? Even the minimum age for voting is 18 and the minimum age for marriage is 21.so that means that i am old enough to have a family of my own. hell i can even decide which government should rule over my country but i can touch that Budweiser.

thank god i am over 25. 

But if u go with the stupid law and you start drinking at 25. I am sorry to say that you will turn out as a joke cause you wouldn't know what to drink and how much to drink because you joined the drinking school a little too late..you would be like a high school kid in kindergarten learning the alphabets.the bitter truth is after 16 you don't get smarter after that you learn from your experiences.So after 16 we should get out there and start experiencing new things so that when we reach the age of 25 we are mature and experienced men and women who know what's good for them and what isn't and not end up like some over grown silly teenage girl who gets drunk after having too many breezers.The bottom line is the the smart will always be smart.the stupid would binge drink even at the age of 40.
CHEERS!
