if it can be implemented in UK, why not here? MAybe they realize that it will be better for more people to stay healthy out of smoke and alcohol. There will always be alternative business for healthy people.

Back in our country, there was this couple who owns a Sari-sari store (variety store like a small supermarket here) and a small eatery. Their business is really booming or shall we say more than average in earning until they become a member of our church and since alcohol are forbidden in our church, they were told to stop selling alcohol. In a short period, maybe their income become less (in Philippines, alcohol sale is really big even for small stores like theirs), but did they close down, no, they have establish more eateries without alcohol and another two stores for their children.

Anyway, let us see what would be the real effect of this instruction from the ministry! I hope the restaurants there "survive". Good morning!
