A Goan only needs an excuse to drink. If you advise a Goan drinker that
drinking is bad for his health and that he should give it up, he immediately
defends himself - pat comes the reply, often: Soro Devan kela; padri pasun
missar dakancho soro pieta. Tor, hanv soro pielear tantun kitem vaitt asa?
(God made liquor. Even a priest drinks wine when he celebrates a Mass.
So, whats wrong if I drink?)
The good part is that most of us know how to control drink but there are
some who cross their limit and become a problem to their families. Some go
to the extent of spending the whole day and night at a bar thus making it a
full-time job and bringing upon themselves wrath from their wives - the
result? Sometimes wives challenge their husbands and end up drinking.
Here is a joke in Salcete Konkani taken from Jr. Jose Rods audio cassette
Visonachia Pottan Bhangarachi Biskit. Let us see what happens to a
non-drinking wife when she gulps down the first soreacho gontt (mouthful
of liquor):
