MP: Make hubbies drink before you to shame them, MP mantri tips women off to de-addict alcoholic hubbies

Bhopal: A senior minister in the Mohan Yadav ministry on Friday gave a ‘valuable tip’ to the wives of the alcoholic husbands to de-addict them by asking them to cajole their men to drink before the family members to ‘shame them’.

State minister for social justice Narayan Singh Kushwaha, while launching an awareness campaign on the evils of alcohol addiction here, said that the women have a greater role to play to keep their husbands away from liquor.

“Just ask your husband to drink before you and your children. He will start feeling ashamed of himself for taking alcohol before you and the children. He will then gradually give up alcohol. This is the most effective way of keeping a man away from his bottle (of alcohol)”, Mr Kushwaha suggested.

According to him, the ‘shaming the alcoholic husband’ method will be more effective than any awareness campaign on addiction.

Mr Kushwaha said that an alcoholic man would start feeling guilty when he took liquor before his family members thinking that this would have a bad influence on the children who may develop the habit of drinking when they grow up.

“The mothers, sisters and wives have a greater role to play in keeping an alcoholic man of their family away from liquor addiction”, he said.

“Just shame your man by asking him to drink before you and your children”, he tipped off the wives of the alcoholic hubbies.
