If you drink you are gonna die

I seem to have too much to discuss these two days..LOL But the topics have lined up like that...:( One of the party leaders said that he is not gonna give any compensation to people who have consumed illicit liquor and died. I agree. This is nonsensical way of forcing governments to pay monies without receiving taxes from the liquor manufacturers. The drunkard consumes, and dies, and his family is compensated. First and foremost, why? The family should be deserting him. But it hangs on. Obviously there is no loss of bread winner. Then where is the need to compensate? Is there any emotional attachment? Nope. The family would be happy...good riddance...to nuisance. As to illicit liquor manufacturers, they don't pay taxes...so the government machinery doesn't get anything from them. They cultivate wrong elements of the society to prevent honest officials from reporting on them. If this is to be curtailed, the best way is to let people know...nothing will be paid. They drink at their risk. Demand for illicit liquor will come down in the country. Or at least, we can hope for it. While I prefer Anna Hazare's way of handling drunkards..(tie them to trees), this method is acceptable to me too. What solutions have you for controlling drunkards? EVERYBODY WHO DRINKS IS NOT A DRUNKARD. I have a good friend here who drinks quite frequently. LOL
