Alcohol should not be part of our presentation to the world

Dear Editor,

Like Vidyaratha Kissoon, I too am dismayed and shocked that Guyana has made it official that alcohol is part of our culture by having an official beer and an official rum as part of our cultural presentation to the world.

It is even more amazing that on one side of National Park, we have the Carifesta Avenue lined with banners advertising the official rum of Guyana and right inside the park, we have an Islamic exhibition.

Yours faithfully,
N Bisnath
