Alcohol at Weddings?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Alcohol at Weddings?

Nihal asks - are weddings without booze boring? Plus Letting Off Steam.

Nihal asks - are weddings without booze boring? Plus let off a bit of steam with our guest panel who join him in the studio.

At 1, Nihal asks 'Are weddings without booze boring?'

A village in Northern India has banned all alcohol and DJs from weddings in the area. 

The local village elders have come together to make the ruling because of trouble at recent events. They've blamed the "menace" on alcohol and DJs at local weddings.
If you get an invitation to wedding and its going to be dry, does you heart sink? We know that if you go to a wedding and the couple are are devout Hindus, Sikhs or Muslims it's pretty likely alcohol will not be served. Do you understand and respect that or have you tried to sneak a bottle in? Do you always needs a tipple before throwing some shapes on the dancefloor? Or do you think serving alcohol at weddings encourages fights and drink driving? 

At 2, Nihal will have a guest panel in the studio and they'll be 'Letting off Steam'. Get in contact with the panel and Nihal and tell us what has annoyed you recently or any dilemmas you have found yourself in.
