Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary could soon be a dry day globally.
On 23rd May ‘08, India officially proposed at the ongoing World Health Assembly in Geneva that October 2 ? the birth anniversary of the father of the nation ? be designated as ?World No Alcohol Day?.
The proposal has already got support from a couple of South East Asian countries. It could take about a year for the proposal to be granted official approval. The Indian officials are very confident that it will go through.
If this proposal goes through, there is nothing stopping other countries from following suit, and proposing other days as “World No Alcohol Day”.
The day aint far, when people will start marking dates on their calendars when they are allowed to drink legally, and when their local wine shops will be ‘Open’.
We’d better start stocking up our homes.
