Hello,

Drinking in public creates nuisance and is therefore punishable by the law. Public drinking may not be a common site in India; however, car-o-bar has become a simpler way to drink for youngsters.

Consuming alcohol at public places will attract a fine of Rs 5,000 and if the offender creates nuisance than the fine shall be up to Rs 10,000 with a jail term of three months.

Merely holding a bottle without consuming it on road isn’t an offence.

Thank you
