Stamps said this at his offices in Harare during a media briefing ahead of the Medical and Health Expo, which begins today at the Harare International Conference Centre.

 
He said alcohol consumption should be controlled by individuals as it was responsible for domestic violence and there was evidence it also contributed to bad judgment that accelerated the spread of HIV and Aids.
