Q60. Why no intoxications?

*

Health – Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs are bad for the health.

*

Suffering – Women and children suffer as the man of the house who drinks loses consciousness when drunk and engages in violence towards the wife and children, besides exposing them to exploitation by others.

*

Financial ruin – Drugs and alcohol are not cheap and often, poor families suffer complete financial ruin due to the man of the house being addicted to alcohol or drugs.

*

Addictive - Addiction results in extreme dependence on and attachment to the intoxicant. People become addicted to alcohol and drugs and in many cases, this results in violence as the addicts will kill or steal to get hold of drugs/alcohol.
