Alcohol consumption is “The New Normal”?

One day I was sitting on the couch watching a pakistani drama. There comes a scene where a character was shown drunk. ” شراب نوشی حرام ہے” was written as a caption. It didn’t bother me at all.

Then there comes another drama. Some other character was consuming alcohol and the same caption was written under it. It made me a little uneasy. Anyway, I forgot about it after that. A couple of days later It was me, the screen and the same scenario in which someone was shown drunk and the bottle was blurred. The it caught my attention.

Don’t you feel that if something is shown over and over, it becomes a usual thing. Even a negative thing can impact a mind if its shown repeatedly. For example, suicide bombings. When pakistan had its first few attacks we all were horrified and afraid. But after some time we all were little bothered by it. Like its a very common thing in a world we live in. “Yeh toh hota rehta hai”. Right? We all became somewhat immune towards it. That seems to be the case regarding Alcohol. Show it enough and it will become the new normal. Now thats one more thing to worry about.

Here are some scenes from four different dramas. There are more but I’m sharing few. I don’t know what’s your take on it. But it doesn’t feel right to me.

May Allah save us from the evils of this world.

Drama: “Koi Chand Rakh”
Drama: “Haiwaan”
Drama. “Khud Parast”

  1. Agreed with your thoughts regarding the issue you tried to highlight on your own way. But isn’t this become usual thing in our society and such TV serials are trying to show the reality on our mini screens which effect our society on daily basis. by making it blur creating more curiosity. Yes! you’re Right

    1. Yes you are right. Its indeed the reality of life. It has become a status symbol as well unfortunately. But still I think repetition of a negative thing somehow impacts a mind.
