Importing Alcohol Harm Via Diplomats And Big Alcohol Nada India network members fully support the enforcement of the law on labelling on liquor imported from other countries to India. Email Share on Twitter Share on Facebook In India, alcohol is not as common as in the Western world (remember: Europe is the region in the world that consumes alcohol most heavily.).
