Alcohol is banned in Gujarat.(Gandhi's birth place , Gandhi being anti-alcohol etc).
Which is why the current mess. Many buy home brew Hooch and then some of it gets spiked with methanol resulting in deaths. These deaths were due to Hooch. Other source of alcohol in Gujarat is from Daman and Diu which is nearby and prohibition free. The same mess happened in Tamilnadu and Kerala when they tried to ban cheap alcohol - people started killing themselves drinking spurious stuff.
In most parts of India, liquour is pretty good quality and easily available. Though, it is not socially very acceptable and often only men drink it. Also you wouldn't want your dad catching you with a beer bottle.
