About this service
In Punjabi culture, public expectation and familial pride are highly valued.
In Punjabi society, for those living in Canada, Punjab, or anywhere in the world, the community generally accepts heavy consumption of alcohol in men, while women are expected to abstain from alcohol consumption, which creates a gendered imbalance in expectation and acceptability.
Since alcohol consumption is socially acceptable for Punjabi men, most dont recognize excessive drinking or alcoholism to be an addiction because of social stigma.
