In India, Liquor Rules
- The consumption and selling of alcohol do not decrease but can only increase over time. Thus, different drinking laws in India still continue and remain uniform.
- The issue of alcohol is listed on the list of states in the seventh programme of the Indian Constitution. The rule on the selling and use of liquor thus differs from one country to another.

- A license for the sale of alcohol is required, and so are consumers in those countries. Alcohol sales are typically allowed in liqueurs, cafes, clubs, discothèques, bars, hotels and restaurants.Â
- Furthermore, houseboats and beaches may dislike the permit to sell alcohol to visitors. Sellers must have an alcohol licence. Without it, it is unlawful and forbidden to deal with alcohol.

Alcohol intake legal era
- The age allowable for alcohol intake depends on the region.Â
- And in the Member States, still, alcohol intake and buying age vary.
- This disparity in alcohol purchase and consumption leads to a misunderstanding that makes the law on alcohol consumption challenging to enforce.

- The legal age of 1967 for drinking in Karnataka is 21; according to the Karnataka Excise Act, 1965, Section 36, the legal age for buying alcohol is 18 years.
- Considering the laws of Karnataka, in certain nations, either the drinking age or the buying age is quiet about the act.
- In this case, it is presumed that the two are the same age for simplicity.
