In order to maintain the eternal peace in our country it is the responsibility of all the patriotic Sri Lankans to join hands to pressurize the government to impose a total ban on Liquor. Unfortunately, certain radical religious groups are involved in shaping their personal agendas.

In Pan-Sil, Liquor is mentioned last. Nevertheless that is not because it is least significant. It is because, if we break that sil, we can easily break the other four. If we weigh the benefit to the Govt via excise taxes etc and money spent on health problems due to liquor, the latter will be more.
