Not to criticize anyone, but cutting back could improve health, finances, relationships, etc. there are healthier ways to cope with stress or to unwind.
I would recommend activities like exercise classes, hobbies, or social outings that don’t center on drinking Alcohol. Programs and support Systems, Increasing access to treatment programs and support groups for those struggling with addiction and even reducing availability. Alcoholics Anonymous is a great beneficial program. The focus should be on harm reduction and providing a path to healthier habits and improved quality of life and not reckless behavior.

@Collins Teembo, it is not the distillation that is the problem. The problem is the increments. Normally you just us maize, cassava millet etc, but due to poverty and an competition, other things like fertilizer, shoe polish, paraffin are added to try and “out smart” other brewers and use less maize.

Educating anyone, especially in Health, is a tedious and expensive venture so governments have preferred to let sleeping Kachasu drunks lie. What with a Police force that doesnt want to work unleass there’s a bribe at the end of the project? So the problem will be with us as long as poverty and poor education are with us.

Ba Chaliafya there’s nothing to research about Kachasu. Anyone who has done basic general science will explain its process . Because of its simplicity it is easy for anyone to venture in its production. So thats why it is popular among the poor. Basically it is just the distilling of fermented waste with varying toxic unregulated “ingredients”.
These ingredients include battery acid, Insecticide, paraffin, and any other poisons. Kachasu thrives mainly because the drinker is never worried about the ingredients and their effect on him. So the solution lies in educating the potential market.

Councils to build distillation small Plants across the country Zambia. And this tusk is given to the Engineering Association of Zambia to come up with a design so that this year or next year AM should be exciting. It can be could as a Short Path To Alcohol Distillation Unit-SPADU or any name you might choose.

You graduate Chemists and Nutritionists every year and yet cannot contend with a simple situation. In most European cities (not even countries) they brew local alcohol that is well researched and techniques shared. Teach the traditional brewers to notice the different layers of alcohol (methanol, ethanol, etc.) and show them what it means to brew. You want the white man with $20,000 donation to come and tell you what I am telling you right now?

Letthe government buy all the kachasu and repackage it in quality bottles and sale it or even export it.
