Everything in Guyana is organized around rum. It is a rum culture no less than vodka is for Russians with no less devastating effect.
Things have to be hard that the parents of a 21 years permit their child to go off with that clearly looser looking fellow. She is his child's age and from back channel he is a wastrel.
GNI resident shaman has now become an expert of Indian Disease. I wonder if he is an expert also of buckman disease.
I wonder if piwari alcohol is better than sugar alcohol?
I would be the first to acknowledge the same disease in Amerind communities. You, on the other hand, know Indians, especially those like this fellow, are chronic drinkers. Indians in general do have a rum culture. Everything involves organizing around drinking.
Piwari is a beer. Alcohol is a distilled product. The first is 5 to 11 percent alcohol. The latter can range from 40 to close to 80 percent alcohol. Bushrum is even worse. It may be composed of methanol as well as ethanol.
