Kerala Government's Plans for Dry State Approved by High Court

[Dr. Sen]

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala's no-liquor policy was approved today by the High Court, which has said that it is in line with the Indian Constitution.


The court said alcohol should be served only in five star hotels, and others can take wine and beer licences.

The new policy says liquor will be served in heritage or luxury hotels but not bars. Hundreds of bars across the state, which were asked to shut down, had challenged the order.

The liquor policy aims at complete prohibition in the state in a phased manner.

Supporting the decision, the court cited Article 47 of the Constitution, which says "the state shall endeavour to bring about prohibition... except for medicinal purposes of intoxicating drinks and of drugs which are injurious to health."

Welcome the decision.
If you guys need a drink, just get to the border and feel free to buy from the closest TASMAC shop

Banning alcohol in Kerala will hit revenue, tourism: Tharoor - Firstpost

Referring to the Tamil Nadu government's decision to open liquor shops along the border, Tharoor said it was first important to find out how and why a ban on alcohol turns successful before blindly imposing it.

"We need to ask ourselves what made it succeed or fail in some places. The Tamil Nadu government has declared that they'll open TASMAC (liquor shops) outlets along Kerala-Tamil Nadu border to cater to the thirsty kerala consumers, so Kerala will not drink less but the excise duty will go to Tamil Nadu instead."

I don't understand the logic of so many in Kerala opposing any ban on beef and who say that those who want to eat should be able to eat (Christian & Muslim religious groups for instance) but quite happy to ban drinking for those people who may want to drink......

alcohol is haraam not for moralistic reasons but from common sense... and i don't see how anyone can justify in jokes or otherwise about drugs.
