When we consider the terrible harm and lack of control of alcohol in Australian aborigines and to a lesser extent amongst Maori, we (the Europeans who have only just arrived), should hang our heads in shame. Alcohol has never been a part of their culture so they find sensible use more difficult than European people. And the fuss we make about the use of Kava, which is so feeble compared to alcohol. Yet we introduced alcohol to the Polynesians and that was apparently OK
