What is the problem. Is it because organised through FB or having foreign liquor or else. I am confused?

My problem is as to how this foreign liquor gets into Sri Lanka with all these import restrictions on non essential goods.

Out of 100 only. Please arrest the parents too let first parents learn the lesson. Parents only spoil the children.
