Alcohol Curbed In Kerala

The legal age for drinking will now be 23 years instead of 21 years, the Kerala government has said. The Left-led government of Pinari Vijayan has passed an Ordinance, raising the age bar for drinking to curb the problem of alcoholism in the state, which has been sent to the Governor P Sathasivam for clearance.

Within two years of a new alcohol police in Kerala - which allows only 5-stars and govt outlets to sell hard liquor - doctors have demanded a crackdown on tobacco products.
