Can Advocates drink liquor in India?

 


There is no uniformity of law regarding sale and consumption of alcohol in India.  The laws varies from state to state. Some state have liquor ban in India such as Bihar, Gujarat, Lakshadweep, Nagaland etc. 


Anyone can drink liquor who has drinking licence. There is no discrimination on anyone to drink liquor in India. Advocates also can drink liquor in their home, wine shop, pubs, permit room. Any person of legal age and having licence can consume liquor, beer, wine. No discrimination on the ground of profession.


In Maharashtra to drink liquor you need a permit. To get permit one can apply to the excise department. The drinking licence is issued for a day, a year and lifetime.


The Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949 deals with sale, possession and drinking age. The person who is 25 years old and has permit can legally drink liquor in private space, bars, permit room, in pubs etc. To drink beer the age is 21 years. 


Drink in public space is not allowed. The person who is drunk and driving can be arrested and punished under the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988.

War And Peace

      Ukrainian Refugees Today it has been eleven days to the War on Ukraine by Russia. There is no ceasefire yet and Russian forces are marching towards the capital Kyiv. It is the invasion of a sovereign and democratic nation by Russia. Western nations failed to protect Ukraine. Over 1.4 millions Ukrainians have fled the country and took shelter in neighbouring countries such as Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and in some other European countries.  I was watching a video of one Ukrainian woman who was weeping loudly. She was saying, "Why is this war and for what? Why we are forced to leave our country, own house, brothers and parents?" Any prudent and kind person will certainly cry after watching the videos of fleeing Ukrainians. Russians are destroying their country with bombs. The world is watching this tragedy and doing nothing.  Nothing is more painful than war. Families get apart and someone lose their loved one. War destroy everything. War i...
