Why anybody should be arrested for making alcohol, as the legislature is on debate to allow to sell alcohol in every island. Let them make in commercial level and start to sell in islands. In my opinion these people needs to be recognized by national level for their innovation and entrepreneurial skills. Definitely they are kids with curiosity, leave them to explore science. If you guys need to arrest those who consume alcohol, go to resorts and find these big shots from Government and other places go on weekend on resorts.
Sure. Moonshining is all we need to make leaps and bounds in the realms of science and nurture the minds and enthusiasm of youth.
The 'experiments' have already caused internal bleeding in some of the kids who'd unknowingly whet their whistles. This new trend of moon-shining is widely attributed to a curb in the availability of narcotics and the consequential price hike.
I'll say it a thousand times over. Supply-side control of narcotics can never work to resolve this issue. Demand-side preventative schemes need to be in place. Now.
