Delhi Government is contemplating bringing down the legal drinking age from the existing 25 to 21 years. The Excise Departments is preparing a proposal in this regard, Although the cabinet is yet to provide the green signal for 25 is the legal drinking age for hard liquor like rum, gin , whiskey and vodka. with Beer and wine for 21 age people in the upcoming budget session. States like Goa, the age is 18 and Rajasthan is already 18 for the wine and beer and 21 for hard liquor. Mumbai also has similar rule which allows those above 21 years old to buy and consume beer .
Surprisingly,Delhi as a capital should be a leading the states. It is a positive move.If people can vote and get married at 18, that means youngsters can think themselves.. Time has changed, so the rules must also be changed.
Make everything Legal ,This way youngsters can go out and there is no point to sneak around in illegal joints.
If liquor is licensed its better and safe.The perception is that you need to drink more wine and beer to become drunk to do something silly.
Alcohol content is lower in the beer and wine , so its safe to relax the drinking age. .
In the place like Delhi, the capital state, the enforcement of drinking laws should be srickter and the fine .should be higher. Government, has to create safe environment , make students responsible for going higher intakes of beverages..
The Caro-bar creates drunken driving. The present orders will ensure that the youngsters will have the safer environment to drink rather than drinking in cars.
Students, now a days are consuming liquor in their college days, so why not make it legal which will benefit both consumer and authorities.
