In a surprising turn, liquor sales in India witnessed a substantial surge,
pouring an impressive ₹6,000 crore into the government’s coffers during
August. This spike in alcohol consumption is attributed to the upcoming
elections, as political parties often distribute liquor as a pre-election
incentive. The significant increase in sales has raised concerns about the
potential negative consequences of such practices on public health and
safety. As election season approaches, there is a growing need for greater
regulation and accountability in the distribution and consumption of
alcohol to ensure a fair and safe electoral process.
