I don't think they ever really get a Maize program under way in Sartar (could be wrong, of course). Booze will find its way there as soon as there is a market for it - so as soon as there is garrisons, there will be Gin.

It's a rather famous TV Anti-Drug ad from the 80's:
"This is your brain" (shows an egg)
"This is your brain on drugs" (cracks the egg into a hot frying pan,

"Any questions?"
