Village women chasing away beer trucks to keep men sober ananova.com Women in a Mexican village are chasing away beer delivery trucks because they are sick of their men getting drunk. The women, in the village of Teenek in the mountains of central Mexico, shout "Get out! Get out!" at the truck drivers. They told The News online they were fed up with their men stumbling home drunk or falling over in the corn fields. They decided to take matters into their own hands, refusing to allow any more alcohol to be sold in their community. Teenek women traditionally don't drink and rarely hold positions of power but their defiance to alcohol has been steadfast. Marcelina Martinez said: "A lot of men are not happy with this. They seem sad. But oh, well. At least now they spend time with their families. They didn't want to listen to us so we had to get angry." Liquor in the village is now only allowed for traditional ceremonies. Another 12 villages in the area say they are seriously considering adopting the same attitude.
