Sejarah pertama kali komersialisasi minuman beralkohol


 Komersialisasi minuman beralkohol di Indonesia sudah terjadi sejak zaman kolonial Belanda tepatnya pada tahun 1891 hingga 1893  dimana peredaran minuman beralkohol baik minuman lokal maupun minuman dari negara lain sudah membanjiri pasar miras di Hindia Belanda zaman itu, mulai dari bir, whiskey, wine hingga cognac Semua jenis minuman ini diyakini dibawa oleh para tentara kolonial yang datang ke Hindia Belanda pada saat itu.


Dilansir historia kurang lebih sekitar 600.000 liter miras dibawah masuk ke Hindia Belanda pada saat itu, tetapi hal ini tidak terlalu berdampak signifikan pada peredaran minuman lokal asli nusantara yang sudah sangat melekat dengan kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat, dari sinilah terbentuk segmentasi pasar penikmat minuman tradisional dan impor.


Banyaknya peredaran minuman impor yang membanjiri Hindia Belanda kala itu juga mengundang reaksi dari berbagai kalangan, salah satunya dari organisasi Muhammadiyah yang mulai gelisah dengan peredaran miras tersebut, mereka beralasan bahwa banyak masyarakat yang bergelar haji tetapi masih senang mengkonsumsi miras hal ini dinilai sangat bertentangan dengan nilai kegamaan, meskipun miras pada kala itu mendatangkan profit yang cukup besar bagi pemerintahan saat itu.


Tak hanya itu Indonesia beratus-ratus tahun yang lalu juga sudah dikenal sebagai negara penghasil miras tradisional dan minuman tersebut kerap digunakan dalam upacara-upacara adat tidak seperti kopi dan teh minuman yang d bawa dari luar, dalam sebuah buku yang ditulis oleh Fred B Eiseman (1990) minuman arak Bali juga berfungsi sebagai obat. Banyak dari sejarah membuktikan miras lokal telah ada sejak jaman kerajaan dari banyaknya prasasti yang mencatatnya.

GAM and OPM

  We already know about many revolution that ever happened in this world, but In Indonesia there are two most famous rebel groups GAM (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka) and OPM (Organisasi Papua Merdeka) they have same purpose behind it. Like in many stories the main reason behind all of the revolution is inequality, which is they considered the government of Indonesia steal their land and natural resources and did many violence act in their country.  But for me there are many differences between these two organization where GAM is more well organized than OPM in every aspect of their fight. GAM have great military that consist of male and female soldier that well trained and it very difference with OPM that have done many brutal actions such a criminal group where they burned down the hospital and many school in Papua and brutally killed their enemy.
