Majority of Thais plan to skip alcohol during Buddhist Lent: DDC Poll

The majority will tell lies and the rest will drink.

A much better move would be to make it illegal to use motorbikes over Songkran and keep the deaths down.

motorbikes or water? ;)

Another fake statistic.

I always thought that New Years was the Drinking Holiday!

If you make drugs illegal, people will just do illegal drugs.

Alcohol is no exception. It is a fact of human society in every corner of the world.
You have no right to treat people like your children, for any reason, ever.

They obviously think Buddha reads the polls!

They polled our house a few days ago. My wife doesn't drink and so now we are part of the official statistic.

 

I am actually surprised at the number of Thai men who drink quite heavily and choose voluntarily to give up the habit during Buddhist lent. It's three months long, and quite a few abstain for the entire period. I was surprised.
