Don't force others to drink
A court has ordered a 69-year-old woman in Kai county, Chongqing, to pay a fine of 330,000 yuan ($53,000) to her brother, who fell down and injured himself after being coaxed by her into drinking about 600-ml of homemade liquor at her birthday party. The fine should be a warning to people who are in the habit of forcing others to drink beyond their capacity, says an article in Legal Daily. Excerpts:
The trend of forcing people to drink is almost like moral kidnapping and some people have taken the practice to absurd lengths by making their targets feel ashamed for not being able to drink beyond their capacity.
