The Kerala govt is discussing expanding access to low-alcohol ready-to-drink beverages such as Bacardi breezers. The aim, ostensibly, is to change drinking habits and create alternatives to stronger liquor. Ironically, the state's own naturally fermented low-alcohol beverage, toddy, deeply rooted in local culture and produced from coconut palms across the countryside, is struggling to survive, with fewer coconut trees to tap, falling production and aging workers.
