The Ghana Drunkards Association officially known as the Beverage Consumers and Bar Owners Association of Ghana has released a controversial ranking of the country’s most frequent drinkers, claiming that Radio Drive Time hosts currently top their data charts.

Speaking in an interview on Nyankonton Mu on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, the President of the Association, Moses Onyah, popularly known as Dry Bones, disclosed that their internal data identifies specific professions with high rates of alcohol consumption.

He stated that Radio Drive Time hosts lead the list, followed closely by the police, whom he noted also have a strong affinity for staking lotto. Drivers were placed in the third position, while politicians occupied the fourth spot on the chart.

In view of the Christmas 2025 festive season, the Association issued a formal message to its members focused primarily on responsible drinking and public safety.

President Dry Bones advised members to remain vigilant and ensure that every beverage they consume is approved by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) to avoid the risks associated with fake or harmful products.

He also championed the concept of “safe drinking” as a way to curb hangovers and alcohol-related accidents, announcing a planned bar tour to educate members on responsible consumption.

The Association also made specific requests to the state to help protect its members.

Dry Bones appealed to the government to provide drinkers with reflectors and helmets to enhance their safety at night, particularly when they are crossing roads or walking from bars to their homes.

He addressed the Inspector General of Police (IGP) with a request for patrol cars to assist intoxicated members.

He suggested that police should transport drunk members to the nearest police station for their own protection, allowing them to remain there safely until the following morning before heading home.
