Is it legal to sell alcohol at weddings?

Jul 28, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
The selling of alcohol at weddings is very disturbing and troublesome. For a number of years now, the selling of alcohol at some weddings has led me to believe that there is no authority that controls the sale of alcohol.
However, I will be extremely grateful if someone can educate me about any licence that allows people to sell alcohol at weddings.
If we conduct an investigation we are sure to find that the causes for many accidents are as a result of alcohol consumption by persons who attend weddings, intoxicate themselves, and on their way back home, they crash.
All these things happen and yet there is a continuous selling of alcohol at many weddings. All these things happen and yet people will never learn.
Where has the power of reasoning in people gone? Why can’t people think and then act? Only when we are faced with the reactions of our actions, then and only then, do we get serious. Why can’t we stop our nonsense now, before it’s too late?
The selling of alcohol at weddings must stop. I suggest that legal action be taken against this issue, and simultaneously, our dedicated and most hardworking police should be on the look out for those lawbreakers who drink and merry themselves at weddings and without fear of the law, they drive with the hope of reaching home.
Our police should set out for these law breakers not far from wedding houses.
Also, people should see it as their right to report situations where they see someone consuming alcohol and then drive without any fear. Do not be afraid. Truth must prevail. People must obey the law.
Pt. Charranlall Nandalall
