Ariun-Buyan
I was a shepherd in Gobi-Altai aimag (province) until 2001 when I lost all my 350 animals in a snow disaster that winter.

Feeling despondent over the loss, I began drinking excessively to the extent that I was hardly sober through a year. I was so addicted that the villagers nicknamed me “Alcoholic-Buyan”.
