#5 Alcohol

Trini in his glee

You’re probably wondering why is this man drinking hair conditioner, judging from the bottle, but that is in fact alcohol smuggled into the Cricket stadium

Trinis love alcohol. I do not have a number of bars per capita figure, but if I did, I’m pretty sure Trinidad is atleast in the top 10 in the world.

We drink on the beach, while driving, at parties, at rivers, on tours, at every social gathering more or less. In 2006, In 2006, we imported over 500,000 cases of rum, 250,000 cases of whiskey and 70,000 cases of wine into Trinidad alone, all for the consumption of just over a million people.

Some of the recent most successful songs that made national Top Ten charts are titled “Rum Till I Die”, “I Want Meh Rum”, “Rum and Roti”, “Rum is Meh Lover” and “Bring De Rum”.

They should start putting vaccines in beer in Trinidad = guaranteed 100% success inoculation of the population
