Going back to Mythology.

Indian mythology provides many a cure to the problems that face human society. As Aamir khan pinpoints in his programme Sathyameva Jayate drunken driving or drinking in general is on the rise . In the beginning you control the drink and slowly the drink takes over and alcohol rules your life. As I was reading Ashok Bankar's' Ramayan' I read an interesting part where the sudra who ran a somaras joint had a very methodical way of controlling excessive drinking. He served the very best of the somras available in Ayodhya and everyone wanted to get into his' temple 'as Bankar calls it, he welcomed everyone and his only rule was that while leaving the guest would have to aim an arrow at a mark and if he missed he was refused permission to enter again.The clients who visited his joint made sure that they could hit the mark. Bankar states that Dasharatha had asked his minister Sumantra to guide Bharat and Shatrughan to this temple so that they would always be self controlled about drink.
A really interesting solution to the drinking problem.
