Two pets in a house are talking to each other in absence of their human companion. The dog is complaining about how her owner doesn’t spent quality time with them and also shares her behaviour when she returns after consuming alcohol. The behaviour is described as abnormal, weird and even abusive. Even if you are feeding your pets properly but cannot take out time to spent time with them or keep their mental health intact, adopting animals is not a good idea after all. Animals have feelings too.   #goodhealthforall #soberevening  #soberNadaIndia #nadaindia #soberlife #sobercommunity #livingsober

The Alliance, comprising over a dozen Indian non-profit organizations working in the field of cancer prevention, palliative care, tobacco and alcohol advocacy etc. and member organizations of IOGT International want the government to focus on multi- sectoral alcohol policy action in India to tackle the heavy burden of alcohol harm.

OPINION Drug Free India? ....... Prof. T K Thomas 26 Feb, 2019  Two weeks back, this column carried a piece entitled “Hooch Victims: Not Just Numbers!” about death of over 40 people after drinking illicit liquor. A bigger hooch tragedy last week killed over 150 tea garden workers and over 300 hospitalized for critical care in Assam’s Golaghat. A friend asked why such frequent occurrence of hooch tragedies and deaths of poor and marginalized people and why no action is being taken to prevent such tragedies. Familiar with the problem of addiction in the country, he wondered why the government was more concerned about drug addiction and not on alcohol addiction. It took some time to explain to him how the two problems were being handled by two separate ministries of the government of India-Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment for drugs and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for alcohol. Last week on 19th February , the Prime Minister through a video address launc...
