Dear JC Goa is not a dry state and no liquor permit is needed hence it is a place where the beer goes in and brains go out. Just look at most debates and newspaper articles of the day.
With regard to reference points, the Government of India has been trying to bring every village in the country up to standard but in Goa ..... football training in Brazil, garbage collection tuition in Germany and everywhere else. I hope I have answered your question.
