Live in Tamil Nadu and there is no escaping that little, TASMAC Shop on every other street with tens of bedraggled men standing outside it at any time of the day ; their hands outstretched through the grilled windows while trying to buy a bottle of alcohol.
The doors of the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation or the famous TASMAC is like a stairway to heaven for Matuared Girls and Boys to sit down and enjoy a drink right from the hardworking laborers after a hard day’s work to a stressed out IT professional looking for some respite from his boss.
Alcoholism is becoming widespread problem in the Tamil Nadu is no exception. Old girls and Young boys of first exposure to alcohol in the state has dropped to 15 years. Added concern is the increasing numbers of women specially girls becoming addicted to alcohol. This trend is causing socio-economic problems but little is being done to arrest this social trend.
