The next question is what is the right age for having alcohol. It will sound weird if someone asks another, "Aapkey bacchey badey ho gaye hain, enhey sharab kab shuru karwa rahey ho?" Maharashtra’s Social Welfare Minister Shivaji Rao Moghe is in favour of setting the age limit at 25 for youngsters to start taking alcohol. But most stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Raveena Tandon and Imran Khan are against such a limit. Amitabh says it is quite strange that you can vote at an age you cannot take a drink. But whatever anybody
says, we need a strong campaign to check the use of drugs and alcohol
among children. A woman scolded a child of about 15, who was drinking
beer in a street: "You shouldn’t be drinking at this age."
The boy replied, "I usually do not drink unless I take some
drugs."

IS
drinking alcohol good for health? The obvious answer is no. But it,
definitely, is good for humour writers. In every joke book there is a
sizeable number of jokes on those who are fond of drinking. Such jokes
are as popular among those who take alcohol as these are among those
who are teetotallers. You will never hear somebody say, "I cannot
tell a joke on on Bacchus lovers as I am a teetotaller." The
connoisseurs of alcoholic drinks defend themselves by saying drinking
alcohol is not bad if it is taken in limits. What is the limit is
again a debatable point. For some, the decent limit is anything less
than breaking empty beer bottles on each other’s heads.
