The Gujarat Liquor Price List for 2023 has been released, and it’s quite a significant change for the state. You see, Gujarat has been a dry state since 1960, meaning alcohol sales and consumption were banned. This prohibition was put in place to address several issues related to alcohol, like domestic violence, accidents, and crime. It was also seen as a threat to public health and morality.
Now, one of the main reasons behind this ban was the growing prohibition movement across India at that time. Many states were already banning alcohol, and the government of Bombay State (which included Gujarat) wanted to show its commitment to this movement.
However, this alcohol ban has been a topic of controversy over the years. Some believe it’s necessary for public health and morality, while others argue that it violates individual rights and hampers economic growth. It’s also been criticized for creating a black market for alcohol and leading to corruption and organized crime.
So, how do you get a permit to buy liquor in Gujarat? Well, you can get one if you’re not from Gujarat, if you’re a tourist, or if you’re a permit holder. These permit holders can buy a limited amount of alcohol for personal use, but only in specific places like hotels and restaurants in tourism zones, airports, seaports, railway stations in tourism zones, and privately-owned liquor shops in commercial zones.
The government hopes that the revenue generated from alcohol sales will fund social welfare programs like healthcare and education. But it’s still uncertain how much money this will bring in, depending on factors like the number of liquor shops allowed and the demand from consumers.
Despite concerns about the social and health effects of alcohol, the government is going ahead with its plan. They’ve even released a price list for various types of alcohol, including whiskey, rum, wine, and beer. Here’s a quick rundown of some prices
