Alcohol consumption
This refers to the letter on the same subject by Farhana Sultana, USA, in the DS issue of 10 March, 04. I want to stress the fact that alcohol consumption was common in the civilisations that gave leadership to mankind since the earliest times. In modern times, all the nations which are providing science, knowledge, philosophy, etc. to the world are alcohol consumers.
I am not saying alcohol consumption is the reason behind the progress made by a nation. But alcohol consumption is part of life in many places in the world. It is for the individuals to decide upon the matter, depending on their faith and habits.
