Korcho Village in Ethiopia Gets Drunk on Sorghum Food Aid

Baby getting drunk: This is a pre-wedding celebration in Korcho Village. The entire village—even children— were drunk on sorghum beer.  Some of the sorghum was left over from their farms but most of it was sorghum from USAID. This child is drinking sorghum beer by sucking on the head of a sorghum plant that is soaked in the gourd of beer that his parents are sharing.
