Alcohol consumption accounts for nearly 4% disability -adjusted life years (DALYs) lost. It not only causes chronic disease like liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis but also has social consequences such as road traffic accidents, family and domestic problems, interpersonal violence and received more public and research attention. Pondicherry is place where there was French rule before independence and influenced by mix culture .Tourism and easy availability of alcohol in shops in comparatively low rate increases alcohol consumption in this Union Territory.
