Alcohol abuse is not just a Sunday issue

Many people will agree with the ANCYL that abusing alcohol has a negative impact on our society.

Many people will agree with the ANCYL that abusing alcohol has a negative impact on our society.

It is not just the Sunday issue. We must examine the problem and decide if alcohol is destroying individuals and families.

Think of the time when we burnt and destroyed beerhalls to liberate ourselves because a drunk nation could not liberate itself or write its history.

To deal with alcohol abuse we need to talk to the youth and to introduce programmes to show them that a balancing act is necessary if they are to succeed in life. We will have to find solutions to become a sober society.
