    Every society that the "Western" world has "discovered" has discovered alcohol before we got there. Even ones that are nomadic and non-agrarian. Not partnering with Heineken is not going to keep anyone from drinking the alcohol they want.

    "In an open letter to Sands, who supported the deal, the health advocates said alcohol is a major risk factor for the spread of HIV and TB. They also said alcohol adversely affects development efforts such as "poverty eradication, health for all, gender equality, economic prosperity, sustainable consumption, ending violence and building safer and resilient cities.""
