Alcohol: the biggest Health Problem

Everyone will probably agree with me that Bhutan's major health problem is nothing else but alcohol. Alcohol related dosorders are one of the major causes of death and hospitalisation in the country. More than that , it is the main cause of crime, social dysfynctions, family break ups, youth related crimes, and so on. We call it our culture to drink , but does it mean that our own culture should also kill us? We need serious thought in this regard. And if we are thinking of a major achievement in health, we shoud seriously focus on alcohol and its consequences...not in trying to get the latest vaccines, drugs or equipment and certainly not things like medical tourism!
