Thinking of boozing tonight? Think again......please

How much does a bottle of whiskey cost? 400 bucks. Vodka? 400 bucks. Beer? 70 bucks. How much does a kilo of best quality basmati rice cost? 44 bucks. Lesser quality costs even less. So with the money you spend on a bottle of whiskey or vodka you could actually feed a starving family of four for 6-7 days. Considering the poverty and hunger that we see around us every day, is that such a bad option? When two friends get together, there’s really so much more that we can do than just drink alcohol. C’mon, it’s gonna wear off tomorrow and leave you with a terrible headache. Whereas one act of kindness and self-restraint on your part can actually save a child from malnutrition, a family from breaking up, a 12-year old girl from being sold off for prostitution, a mother from having to give up her newborn child for fear of not being able to feed it. Tell me then, is it not worth it?
