-------cut........ Alcohol consumption is embedded in most traditions that seem to have been transmitted over generations. Each year, alcohol consumption in Uganda is on the rise. Intake of colossal amounts of potent gins and other forms of crude liquor in mostly poverty-stricken rural communities and urban slums has raised health alarm. For the West Nile sub-region, the allure of alcohol is something to ponder for anyone interested in the dynamics of Ugandan cultures. >From Adjumani, Arua, Koboko, Maracha-Terego, Moyo, Nebbi and Yumbe districts, men, women and children hold alcohol in special regard. Farmers, civil servants, school children and even expectant mothers would rather pool under a mango tree and drink the day away than engage in activities that raise the standards of living in their communities. ----------cut........... _______________________________________________ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
