Topic Reading-Vol.1522-6/11/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why drinking in India is an 'outdoor sport'
Is drinking alcohol disrespectful? It seems so in India, at least before family members, especially the mother. In fact, some of the states even prohibit alcohol consumption. So what do they do when they want to have a drink? They can go to a bar, of course. But there are other popular ways to enjoy drinking in India.
One way is to drink in a taxi or rickshaw, either a pedaled or engined. The passenger can enjoy drinking while it is driven or parked. The driver may serve whisky and join you in drinking it.
Another way is even simpler. Just drink on the street, not on a busy street but on a dark and quite one.
You may wonder if drinking and driving is allowed in India, or leaving empty bottles on the street an acceptable habit.
Enjoy reading and thinking what you’d do when you wanted to have a drink in India.
