The Ghana Drunkards Association, representing 16.65 million members, has issued a three-week ultimatum to the government to reduce alcohol prices, threatening a nationwide shutdown if demands are unmet. Despite the cedi's 50% appreciation against the dollar, alcohol prices remain high, prompting the association's leader, Moses Obuah, to question, 'We’ve learnt that the cedi has gained some strength... However, the cost of alcohol remains high.'

Highlighting the economic impact, the association argues that the strengthened cedi should lead to lower imported goods prices, including alcohol. They emphasize that their vast membership's withdrawal from alcohol consumption could significantly affect the beverage industry, underscoring the potential for widespread economic repercussions.

With 16.65 million members poised for action, Ghana faces the unprecedented prospect of a nationwide shutdown driven by the Drunkards Association's demands for affordable alcohol.
