Drinking Trend in Nepali Youth

I read a article recently talking about the increase in alcohol consumption by Nepali youth in Nepal. The writer was blaming the media and peer pressure regarding the trend, but I thought rather then blaming then I think we Nepali's are influenced by our elders.

What do you guys think? Most of the old nepali baje's and bajai's I know and have seen in Nepal start the morning with Tongba, Jaad, Raksi etc and carry on till the night. Even in the most rural parts in Nepal, alcohol is available to buy whilst coke and pepsi are not. Obviously peer pressure is also to blame for the increase and our culture itself because parents do restrict their sons/daughters to drink at home mostly.

What do you guys think has influenced this growth?
