Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of our lovely Hourangers, new and old. Do Zimbabweans as a collective have a drinking problem? That’s question on our lips this week as we dive into the topic of alcohol, alcoholism and “good times” culture. As we all know alcohol is one of the main events at almost every social gathering where the intention is for attendees to have a good time. Is there a reason why we can’t seem to separate ourselves from alcohol when we are seeking good times or is it a case of alcohol being something that is part of good times culture. It’s very easy to look at all the good times that many people have associated with alcohol but it’s also very easy to remember how much bad has been caused by alcohol. In Zimbabwe alone there have been many alcohol related deaths with the main one being in the form of car accidents, where the inebriated person is the victim or where a sober driver of another car becomes the victim of death because of a drunk driver. Alcoholism and addiction are also on the rise and have been a problem amongst Zimbabwean youths. Are we creating problems now that might evolve into greater problems in the future; or is this something that we have under control and know how to navigate without anyone being hurt. These are some thought for us all to ponder on going into this new year.
