Alcoholic drink and gender

I am not sure but the way the traditions are changing, I will not be surprised if a survey tells me that women don't mind their husbands' drinks. It is the money they can earn, that matters. Drinks are part of the upper class and middle class society. And it's not gender specific but only quantity that matters in case of women.

Traditions are not changing as fast as we think. India will remain in its traditional setup for many years to come. One or two cases will not prove that women will relish their husbands habits of drinking. Even today, there are many from the rich families who have to offer thousand excuses for joining a drink party to their wives.

I know your part of the world is still following great Indian traditions but we cannot say the same for all parts of this country.[/quote]

Do you think Uttaranchal , Jharkhand , Madhya Pradesh etc of other side of my world are the reflections of ultra modernity ? Aha ha. This part or that part, this Bharat. Even in Bangalore, the silicon valley of India which is in my part of the world, there are divorces only because if husbands' addiction to liquor.[/quote]
This is as much my part of the world as yours. I have lived there for more than 6 years and still own a piece of land in Bangalore.[/quote]

Then you must have known that irrespective of the part where we live, entire India is tradition bound. Tradition is not that easy to get rid of. If a few pockets in the country appear to have freed themselves from traditions,, it's not the real index.[/quote]

For your information dear big bro- Bangalore is as good a place as Delhi or Mumbai where women and men both go to pubs or throw such parties very regularly.[/quote]

Why you are going up to Bangalore ? In a metropolis like Vzag is having Pubs, Hookah centres are very much there participated by both sexes.

Liquor is not available in open shops but with smugglers who do it in perfect coordination with whosoever matters. No, it makes no difference to people who sell or buy illicit arms, booze, cocaine, other drugs etc etc.[/quote]

ln places where army canteens are there, canteen staff and local smugglers work in tandem. here the stuff is free from taxes. this provision is well utised by the local people to sell at higher prices, where prohibition is in force.[/quote]

Haryana and Punjab is supplier of liquor to Gujrat. It is very common in my area when police sized trucks of liquor which are going to Gujrat. Complete bane is not a solution of this problem. Only education can solve this problem.

Sure, they live together and they continue to be the subjects of such discussions

A drinker can find his way out, but government should not open its own vending shops and start selling liquor it feels a sense of oddness where the government is perceived to be the adm. of ethics. In national budget for last ten years which I have followed I have seen price of cigar is always taxed, it is uniform, similarly, honorable SC of India has compelled the cigarette companies to write in bold about its injurious effects, even government can do this as such not selling all their own. At least this sort of ethics can be guaranteed from government of the day.

I am not sure but the way the traditions are changing, I will not be surprised if a survey tells me that women don't mind their husbands' drinks. It is the money they can earn, that matters.

As long as we are not objecting to their style of Pooja, yes they can.

I am not sure but the way the traditions are changing, I will not be surprised if a survey tells me that women don't mind their husbands' drinks. It is the money they can earn, that matters. Drinks are part of the upper class and middle class society. And it's not gender specific but only quantity that matters in case of women.

Traditions are not changing as fast as we think. India will remain in its traditional setup for many years to come. One or two cases will not prove that women will relish their husbands habits of drinking. Even today, there are many from the rich families who have to offer thousand excuses for joining a drink party to their wives.

I know your part of the world is still following great Indian traditions but we cannot say the same for all parts of this country.

Do you think Uttaranchal , Jharkhand , Madhya Pradesh etc of other side of my world are the reflections of ultra modernity ? Aha ha. This part or that part, this Bharat. Even in Bangalore, the silicon valley of India which is in my part of the world, there are divorces only because if husbands' addiction to liquor.

This is as much my part of the world as yours. I have lived there for more than 6 years and still own a piece of land in Bangalore.

Then you must have known that irrespective of the part where we live, entire India is tradition bound. Tradition is not that easy to get rid of. If a few pockets in the country appear to have freed themselves from traditions,, it's not the real index.

For your information dear big bro- Bangalore is as good a place as Delhi or Mumbai where women and men both go to pubs or throw such parties very regularly.

Why you are going up to Bangalore ? In a metropolis like Vzag is having Pubs, Hookah centres are very much there participated by both sexes. It was only yesterday a Hookah centre in Hyderabad was raided where 3 minors along with many men and women were arrested

Major source of state government revenue comes from these shops, and for this in many states liquor shops are there and in some states government has opened its own outlets which is surprising though.

No problem. As I said both the opinions live and the saga goes on.

Alcohol is not good, it is bad for health, and in many cases in the :woohoo: long term it has potency of impotency. It is bad for immune system.

Every one has a choice. He may drink or not. It is better to avoid in prohibited places I don't understand why any one should consume liquor when he goes to Vaishno Devi shrine. This would be okay otherwise. Even if he is a devotee, why not go to Bhairav Baba.

Alcohol is not good, it is bad for health, and in many cases in the :woohoo: long term it has potency of impotency. It is bad for immune system.

Yes I agree to that, alcohol is not good after a certain limit. Alcohol if consumed within limit which varies for everyone but beyond that, it is neither good for your health nor wealth as well.

There is no defined limit. I have fixed three pegs (drinks). some times, it is tempting to exceed. Then what is the way out? If you are alone or the other ones are also in similar position, there is no way.

A mug of beer consumed daiy is good for health so also a glass of wine.It is bad only when you have in excess....Coming back to the topic some of the hard core women drinkers come from the working class.We had a maid who came from a tribe residing in the western ghats.She had to have 2 or 3 sachets of local toddy every night and then she would be off...
