The role of alcohol in nation-building

By Ezekiel Nabieu

Sierra Leone is not an Islamic state where alcohol is forbidden. Therefore it can be safely assumed that alcohol has a role to play, otherwise hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions would be engaged in the industry as employees and in its use.

The state cannot continue to wink at alcoholism if it is all that deleterious to its citizens. And by extrapolation this applies to all other secular states in which there are hundreds of thousands of chronic alcoholics.
