Ghana Dr¥k+rds Association Gives Government 3-Week Ultimatum Over alc+hol Prices. The Ghana dr¥nk+rds Association has issued a three-week ultimatum to the government, demanding an immediate reduction in the prices of alc+holic beverages, citing the recent appreciation of the cedi against major foreign currencies. In a viral social media video, the association’s president, Moses Drybones, lamented that despite the strengthening of the local currency, alc+hol prices remain excessively high, with a recent 15% increase placing pressure on bar owners and consumers alike. “To date, the cost of alc+hol is still expensive. If you want to buy alc+hol, there’s an increment in the price, which is 15%. The increment has an effect on people operating drinking spots,” Drybones stated.
