The way you defined a free country.... its better then to live in a staunch religious country.. any religion.. if you abide to the guidelines strictly is Damn Strict...

Drinking and bikini is not freedom.. you talk about tht bcoz of deprivation I guess...
A hungry would see freedom is food.. A thirsty in Water...
But a true freedom is balance of all..

Too much of freedom and you are spoiled.. so with too many restrictions..

Why you think we have both Rights n Duties in Democracy.... Both are essential...

To live as you like but not disturbing others,...

Drinking in open if you think is freedom... then it should not affect others is your responsibility...
As it is diff to implement we have.. drink but not in public n not to drive...

Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
