    President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly taken a stand against alcohol and tobacco consumption. The president usually advises people to drink yogurt drink known as Ayran in Turkish rather than alcoholic drinks. With the new tax law, Turkey saw an increase in special consumption tax on alcoholic drinks and tobacco products by 47.4 percent!!!

    Unfortunately, since many can not afford their favorite drinks now, people have started brewing their own at home which has lead to several cases of alcohol poisoning. If improperly prepared or brewed, alcohol can cause blindness.

    So please, don't brew your own.
    Thanks.
