| The alcohol laws in the country vary from state to state. |
Maharshtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has approved a proposal to reduce legal age of drinking from 25 to 21 years.
To revive Mumbai’s vibrant nightlife it has also been recommended to keep bars open 24x7 and the abolition of permit rooms.
The Congress-NCP government had hiked the legal drinking age to 25 in 2011 in a highly unpopular move.
The alcohol laws in the country vary from state to state. While most states have 18 or 21 years as legal drinking age, Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana, Meghalaya and Delhi have set it at 25.
A few states like Gujarat have a complete ban on alcohol.
