Congratulate Kerala Govt fr this good step in curbing liquor. The people need a break. Hope TN also follows
  1.  3h
    No choice, foreign tourists wont come otherwise.
  2.  3h
    Ayyo Vennanga! Thats whats is keeping the chennai folks little chilled out! Else they will go mental!
  3.  3h
    hah! People need a break from themselves?
  4.  3h
    Prohibition world over never succeed! It will create a parallel Mafia.Increased taxes&educate abt ills is better.
  5.  3h
    This isnt prohibition, restrictions, lesser bars, wine shops close on Sundays
  6.  3h
    Both the states revenues comes only from liquor sales. social costs? huge medical expenses mainly by poor
  7.  3h
    The police will make money by allowing illegal sales on sunday.Binge drinking on saturdays.UK tried and it failed!
  8.  3h
    every issue has pros and cons
  9.  3h
    truth is both states, TN and Kerala have a huge proportion of alcoholics
  10.  3h
    Prohibition never the answer-leads to rampant corruption, illicit hooch, just goes underground.
  11.  3h
    ban doesn't solve the problem. TN and Kerala state govt encouraged liquor, if they stop that its good enough
  12.  3h
    and they are mainly poor people who get hurt, less productivity, more expenses, family tensions, kids start criminal activts
  13.  3h
    Kerala and Punjab are highest. AP,Karntaka,Maharashtra has higher consumption than TN.
  14.  3h
    state govt should stop selling liquor. Let pvt business sell. Cost will increase consumption will decrease
  15.  3h
    Punjab I am sure is worse off, not sure abt other states, 4get the comparison, this is a social evil here
  16.  3h
    Actually they were trying the *Arunachalam* route. Try giving people more drink. At a point they will tire.
  17.  3h
    heh
  1.  3h
    hah! People need a break from themselves?
  2.  3h
    Both the states revenues comes only from liquor sales. social costs? huge medical expenses mainly by poor
  3.  3h
    state govt should stop selling liquor. Let pvt business sell. Cost will increase consumption will decrease
  4.  2h
    govt selling eliminates spurious liquor and non excised liquor coming to the market.
  5.  2h
    then govt shud start selling everything to curb spurious,collect excise.Can't take over market cos there are flaws
  6.  2h
    there were quite a few major problems in TN by the liquor mafia. Fully controlled now. Can discuss this over beer!
  7.  2h
    sure :) I agree there were problems..but failure enforcing rule of law not justification for state monopoly
nothing wrong. To plug the problems, govt decided to take over retail of liquor. Big win for finances.

    that much more losses to industry
  2.  18m
    the industry does not lose. In fact gains. Liquor supply directly to govt. And no fake products in the market.
  3.  17m
    only cronies run the business now.. Political benefactors are not really industry..
  4.  16m
    govt should allow others to make money.. and I have serious doubts abt the quality of liquor sold in Tasmac.
  5.  14m
    . TASMAC bars indulge in swindling,cost of glass/soda/food jacked up,related 2 corruption 1/2
  6.  14m
    There is spurious liquor
  7.  13m
    True. Spurious is not fully controlled, may be marginally, adulteration is still there in crowded shops
  8.  13m
    you don't know how the lobbies worked before 2003. the benefits of TASMAC can only be discussed with beer.
  9.  12m
    I don't know about TASMAC bars. But I feel TASMAC retail is good for state and us than private retail.
  10.  8m
    . Like swindling in theaters,popcorn costing 5 times.That Govt takeover has removed corruption is :) 2/2
  11.  5m
    . When it was private, most liquor shops were indirectly in Politicians' hands ONLY, they were d Barons
  12.  5m
    exactly. Earlier every rowdy ran sarayam shop. Now MPs and Ministers run factories.
  13.  4m
    instead of enforcing rules of law and controlling liquor, jaya took over
  14.  3m
    TASMAC is unique only on the retail front. But in every other state liquor manufacture is controlled
  15.  3m
    controlled, not a state monopoly. That's TN
  16.  2m
    but it's phenomenal profits are a big benefit to the state. How will not controlling help?
  17.  1m
    control, not own. Difference sir. And more will benefit if the profits go to ppl
  18.  1m
    State running is OK, but state also has a responsibility to see that no liquor shops in residential area
  19.  1m
    the retail business in every state is a cartel. Jaya broke those cartels.
  20.  1m
    now all the profit goes to politicians, and free mixie and grinder
  21.  1m
    No shops near religious places, educational instititions, state also needs to encourage temperance
  22.  59s
    and created one big cartel called Tasmac
  23.  47s
    these kind of things make sense. See the Madurai bench judgement day before yesterday.
  24.  35s
    of course, those social responsibilities as well
