In many situations, they drink poisonous locally made drinks and die in dozens together. Therefore, if you drink for enjoyment, be careful to end up in bliss, not in chaos and death.

As we all know, the world has become a chaotic place except for some developed countries. Lawlessness in the developing world has become an order of the day. So in order to reduce harms caused by alcohol, state policies need to take into account specific situations in different societies in different ways. Avoid driving after drinking to live longer.
Governments in developing and poor countries must set up a national monitoring system that will work as the watchdog for alcohol consumption and its consequences and raise awareness among the public and policymakers. Civil societies should also cooperate with the authorities to strengthen the implementation of rules and regulations. Otherwise, many lives in these countries are at stake, and family members particularly women and children suffer a lot. It is up to both government and concerned citizens to encourage debate and formulate effective public health policies to minimize the harms caused by alcohol.
