The relationship between the government and laws regarding liquor has always been a love-hate one, with more hate than there ever was love.

Remember that time when the government caused so many complications for a lot of people by banning the sale of liquor within 500 meters of national and state highways in the country? No, we're not defending alcohol or going against that decision, just making a note and reminding everyone.

And now, another law regarding liquor is here but don't worry it's not for the whole country. The Uttar Pradesh government has some new changes regarding the sale of liquor in the state.

If you are a fan of Salman Khan and want to experience what he's going through right now, then all you have to do is get more than one bottle of alcohol from Delhi to UP, it's that simple to feel close to Sallu Bhai. (Sorry for that joke, please don't @ me in the comments)

So basically, since the cost of alcohol in Delhi is less than the cost in UP, a lot of people would usually buy from there. This new law will makes carrying more than one sealed bottle of liquor a non-bailable offence and carries a maximum punishment of 5 years in jail, along with a fine of Rs 5,000 or ten times the revenue the state would have earned from the bottles, whichever is higher.

So yeah, finding a cheaper alternative may end in getting arrested.

“A person is permitted to bring only a single unit of alcohol at a time into UP from other states and that too only for consumption and not sale. If more than one bottle being imported is found with the seal intact, it will be presumed it is for sale and the charges of liquor smuggling can be invoked,” Ghaziabad district excise officer Gyanendra Tripathy said.

You know how people like to stock up on liquor if they're coming back from the Indira Gandhi International Airport? Well, that's not allowed anymore.
