         A White paper of WHO (2006) states that approximately 2 (two billion) people consume alcohol and 70 million people have been estimated to be suffering from alcohol consumption disorders. WHO has been providing the data regularly every year about millions of deaths year due to alcohol consumption disorders and millions of families suffering economic deficits due to alcohol consumption.

                           Rural Uttarakhand is facing daunting problems of alcohol consumption even by teen youth. The problem is so serious that people don’t go for ‘Shamshan yatra’ if there is no arrangement of alcohol drinks after the ‘Gati’ .

  Tinchri Mai or Icchhagiri Mai –a female recluse had been a source for stopping alcohol marketing and alcohol consumption in Garhwal. Icchhagiri Mai also met Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru for a social work. Tinchri Mai was a symbol for making public awareness against alcohol marketing and alcohol consumption. Her real name was Deepa Nautiya Nawani. She expired in 1995.

                           Surendra balodi a well known theatre figure of Uttarkashi wrote a drama based on the struggle of Tinchari Mai against alcohol consumption and alcohol marketing. Surendra modified the real life story that people are praying her to take new birth immediately (Bwe tu fir Ai). The anti alcohol consumption and anti alcohol marketing drama was staged in 1995 at  Ram Nagar festival , The  theatre against alcohol consumption or dram against alcohol marketing was awarded and appreciated too.   The drama against alcohol marketing and alcohol consumption is staged many times thereafter its first staging in Ramnagar.
