The Devil and 'Pub Culture'

Now, Yeddyurappa says "We won't allow this pub culture in Karnataka to grow."
While everyone keeps talking about a growing 'pub culture', what exactly is it all about?

I don't mean to sound any more knowledgeable, but 'Pubs' are short for Public Houses and predominantly found in Britain and some countries which have had British dominance (which no doubt includes India). So, a pre-independence take on the whole 'pub culture' discussion would be that it has been around in India for centuries.
Bangalore being one of the cantonments of the British army, no doubt had the 'pub culture' instilled in it's roots a long time ago.

While there is a distinction between pubs, bars, taverns, it is only slight but a difference nevertheless. What we call pubs in India are not all necessarily pubs. Some of them are cafes, some clubs and most of them bars. But in India if you attach the word 'bar' to your extremely chic watering hole, you'll be dismissed for a place serving cheap booze and providing 'services' of a very sleazy nature.
Anyway, Yeddy-Yeddy-Ya-Da is talking about curbing growing 'pub culture'. What does that mean really?

Is he going to have a ban on drinking? Because though I am not familiar with his social habits, all political parties lure the young and gullible with alcohol. Karnataka actually had a CM who openly declared his love for wine and women for god's sake. As long as you are a politician, anything goes.

Coming back to the whole 'culture' debate. Who is anyone to decide what is part of my culture and what is not.
The way I have been brought up, alcohol has been part of our lives since forever and is never treated as a vice. We've grown with alcohol, and are responsible enough to handle it (though I am not denying there have never been drunken nights)
Any festival or event is never celebrated without alcohol. Beer, wine, whiskey, rum, brandy, vodka has always been free flowing.

While I am in Mangalore, our whole family makes a trip to a restaurant or a bar or a pub(mostly Froth on Top). All of us enjoy drinking, and that has been part of who we are; good food and good drink.

So is Yeddy now telling me that he is going to deny me of my culture?
