Of course. And alcohol is so heavily taxed in India they would bend over backwards to the industry.

India has a much smaller alcohol problem than the US, at least according to what I saw.

You do bring up a good point about taxation, though, because the government makes bank from alcohol sales. That's a reason I support Prohibition, because taxation alone won't be enough.

How about brewing your own?.

Ideally it would be banned, but initially I'd allow it. And as long as you ain't selling it, you wouldn't be criminally charged anyways.

A still for every home! Decentralize all things! Neighbors could trade and barter with their custom crafts that stand above, and if they want to go bigger get the permits focused on proper non-corrupt health requirements (should be self evident) - like for any small restaurant.

Small alcohol is better than big alcohol, that's for sure.

I don't drink but definitely support brewing one's own. Honestly, one can do whatever one wants on land that one owns and with the things one acquired legally. The govt has no say in it, unless I plan to sell. But if it doesn't leave my property then it's nobody else's business, unless cooking meth or something because that substance is illegal but in case of alcohol, "it's legal as long as you pay tax to us"
