Due to the many road accidents during Songkran days in the past caused from drinking alcohol, the Public Health Minister, Witthaya Kaewparadai, wants to ban alcohol sale during Songkran this year. In my view, banning alcohol isn’t the way to solve the problems. Firstly, banning alcohol during Songkran days doesn’t solve the root cause. If we want to reduce the road accident we should strictly follow traffic rules said that do not drive while drunken. Secondly, banning alcohol worsen the tourism industry, for example, many tourists pay a lot for drinking alcohol during Songkran days. Finally, banning alcohol during Songkran days will exploit beverage manufacturers that they have right to sell their products in everyday. In conclusion, we should think carefully for banning something that it can affects to anyone.
