Women and Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol-based beverages such as beer, whisky, wine, etc. are among the most consumed beverages in the world. These drinks are the centre of attraction at every party or gathering. It is believed that men consume more alcoholic beverages than women. In India, men do consume more alcoholic beverages than women, but there are some Indian states where women drink more alcohol than men.
It is said that in India, men need an excuse to drink alcohol. Here, alcohol is not only consumed during celebrations or get-togethers but also on weekends. Here Are Indian States Where Women Consume The Most Alcohol As per National Family Health Survey 2019-21, the increase in alcohol consumption among women depends on several factors. The reasons include – local traditions, changing lifestyles, and social acceptance.
In tribal areas, the consumption of alcohol is an everyday ritual. The same trend followed in cities also due to reasons like stress, the prevalence of alcohol consumption is increasing among women.

36 seconds to disaster for Ahmedabad plane crash: ‘Mayday' call from black box may reveal why AI171 crashed
Indian investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the wreckage of Air India flight AI171 , days after the London-bound plane crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad airport, killing at least 279 people. The second black box was found on Sunday, three days after the crash. The first, containing the flight data recorder, was located within 28 hours of the disaster. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner lost thrust just 36 seconds after departure and plunged into residential buildings on the airport's periphery, leaving widespread devastation. Most victims were passengers; 33 others died on the ground. Only one person survived: Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, a British national. 'Mayday, mayday… no power': voice data to confirm pilot's final call The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) now in investigators' hands will provide crucial audio from the final moments of the flight. It records what the captain and first officer said to each other and to air traffic control, including ambient cockpit noise such as alarms and engine sounds.

The Civil Aviation Ministry earlier confirmed a distress message was sent seconds before the crash. Captain Sumeet Sabharwal is believed to have said: 'Mayday, mayday…' with reports suggesting he also added '… no power… no thrust…'. That phrase, if confirmed, could shift focus squarely onto the aircraft's twin engines. A range of theories have already emerged – from electrical failure to a dual bird strike – but investigators say they're not speculating until CVR and flight data are analysed. Live Events Final seconds under the microscope AI171 took off at 1.39pm local time. Thirty-six seconds later, it was down. Authorities now hope the CVR will help pinpoint the exact millisecond the mayday call was made. This, combined with flight parameters from the first black box, will help them reconstruct the plane's climb and rapid descent, second by second. The critical questions remain: was the mechanical failure already present before take-off? Did the pilots detect anything during taxi or rotation? Or did the issue emerge after the plane was airborne, catching the crew off guard? Investigators are also reviewing communications with Ahmedabad ATC. These conversations, recorded in the CVR, will help assess how much time the pilots had and whether air traffic control was alerted soon enough to assist. Grief and delays for victims' families As of Monday, relatives of the victims were still awaiting DNA results to identify remains. Only 80 of the deceased had been formally identified by Sunday, according to Dr Rajnish Patel at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital. 'This is a meticulous and slow process, so it has to be done meticulously only,' said Patel. Rinal Christian, 23, whose elder brother died in the crash, expressed frustration: 'They said it would take 48 hours. But it's been four days and we haven't received any response. My brother was the sole breadwinner of the family. So what happens next?' he told AFP. In some cases, officials have advised families not to open the coffins. One coffin was draped with the Indian flag and carried through Ahmedabad by soldiers. The deceased was a former chief minister of Gujarat and a senior member of the ruling party. International response and airline under scrutiny The crash was the first involving a Boeing 787. Though Air India was told to conduct additional checks across its fleet of 33 Dreamliners, over 1,000 of the aircraft remain in active service globally. Air India, now owned by Tata Group, is facing increased scrutiny. The airline has been trying to modernise an ageing fleet and improve safety. N Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons, addressed nearly 700 staff at Air India's Delhi headquarters on Monday. He called the crash 'the most heartbreaking crisis of [his] career', and added: 'We need to use this incident as an act of force to build a safer airline.' 'We need to wait for the investigation… It's a complex machine, so a lot of redundancies, checks and balances, certifications, which have been perfected over years and years. Yet this happens, so we will figure out why it happens after the investigation.' Fresh scare prompts precautionary landing On Monday, an Air India 787 flying from Hong Kong to New Delhi turned back shortly after take-off due to a suspected technical fault. Flight AI315 landed safely in Hong Kong at 1.15pm local time. It was undergoing checks at the time of this report, according to a source who spoke to Reuters. Meanwhile, Boeing has scaled back its presence at the Paris Air Show. CEO Kelly Ortberg cancelled his visit, and the company called off a media reception. A team from Boeing has been sent to Ahmedabad to support the ongoing investigation. With both black boxes recovered, investigators from India, the UK and the US now face the painstaking task of analysing thousands of data points and audio cues. Their work could take weeks. But families are desperate for answers. And a nation – shaken by one of the deadliest aviation disasters in its history – is watching, and waiting.

Bad weather forces UK F-35 fighter jet to make emergency landing in India
The British fighter jet, which made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala late on Saturday, had faced 'adverse weather conditions', diplomatic sources in New Delhi said on Monday. The US-made, fifth-generation stealth F-35 Lightning II, which is part of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy and is based on the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, has been on the runway of the Kerala airport for almost two days. The UK fighter jet was on a sortie but failed to return to the aircraft carrier's deck owing to rough weather. The HMS Prince of Wales participated in a joint exercise of the British and Indian navies in the Arabian Sea over 9–10 June. The UK Carrier Strike Group, led by the Royal Navy warship, is in the Indo-Pacific region on an eight-month Operation Highmast deployment. The emergency landing in Kerala was in accordance with the 'diversion contingency plans between the British and Indian armed forces for Operation Highmast', the sources said. The Indian Air Force (IAF) said in a statement on Sunday that the diversion of the F-35 was a normal occurrence and that it was fully aware of the UK fighter jet's movement and facilitated its landing for flight-safety reasons. In a related post on X, the IAF said the UK fighter jet was undertaking routine flying outside the Indian air defence identification zone, with Thiruvananthapuram marked as the emergency recovery airfield. On having declared a diversion in an emergency, the F-35B fighter jet was detected and identified by the IAF's integrated air command and control system network and cleared for recovery, the statement said. 'The IAF is providing all necessary support for the rectification and subsequent return of the aircraft.'
