`hahahaha well many die in India of drinking the same home-made tharraaa.

Anyway Murry Brewery is world class producer of international standard dri.nks BUT everyone cant afford it.

Its not about legal or illegal but about your pocket

India or Pakistan, such alcohol related deaths are mostly due to illicit liquor that is sold illegally. @Black Widow has a point.

In the holy Month ... and Muslims too ?

Toxic alcohol claims 18 lives in Pakistan

At least 18 people have died and dozens more fallen ill after drinking contaminated alcohol in Pakistan, officials said.

The victims, believed to be mostly Muslim and Christian labourers, consumed the toxic drink at two parties in the central city of Faisalabad.

Only non-Muslims are allowed to buy and consume alcohol in Pakistan, but many people illegally brew alcohol at home.

The provincial governor has ordered an inquiry into the incident.

Victims fainted after drinking the alcohol at a birthday party and another private event in Faisalabad, authorities said.

Most reportedly died before they could be rushed to hospital.

“The death toll from the two parties has reached 18,” senior police official Javed Ahmed Khan told the AFP news agency.

“Around two dozens others are heavily affected by the toxic liquor and battling for consciousness.”

Drinkers often buy illegal liquor because legal wine shops are closed during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Locally brewed alcohol has been traditionally available in two forms – kuppi and tharra- in Pakistan.

Buyers are said to often mix the two, leading to a more potentially lethal drink.

There is no dearth of illicit liquor suppliers and consumers in the world... people drink it and die all the time... the never learn.

When Alcohol is banned, Smuggling happen. Which rise the cost. The local alcohol makers (unhygienic and poisonous) try to cut maximum profit. That's where ppl die..

I know drinking is not good, But its not bad also..

Those who want to die smoking and drinking well LET them DIE anyway why to make something bad healthwise, as legal.

Easy solution, allow alcohol to be sold in market. Whats wrong in selling good quality alcohol?? Pakistan is not land of Gandhi..

Its an internal matter of Pakistan. I see you are being nosey, obsessed with Pakistan actually...lol

Alcohol production needs to be banned, Christians are allowed to drink Alcohol, we need to ban Alcohol on them too.

RIP to the 18 people .

Consuming alcohol in the holy month . What kind of muslims are they .

 

[livingdead]

Agreed on both counts and as I said to me Alcohol is a huge social ill and its only made "glorified" due to ads/marketing and incorrect perceptions. But then each to their own

there is no ad for alcohol in many places where it is popular... people drink because we have been doing it for thousands of years long before anybody claimed god told him not to.
Its just another adult beverage, I hate coffee, get sick everytime I drink but some enjoy it.
