So some fellow missionaries shared this video that gives a good look at the problem of alcoholism in Uganda. The language in the video isn't great but it is a pretty accurate portrayal of the issue. My chief complaint about it is that he doesn't actually get very far out of the urban area. If he had he might have found that people use the booze as food instead of with food. And in Karamoja the kids are often fed the dredges of making the alcohol. I still recommend watching.

The missionaries who posted this also discussed why chrisians don't drink at all here. Also worth the time. Their blog (also with the video) here.
