Indian Booze Lawsuit



Maharashtra State

(Mumbai, India) Bollywood actor Imran Khan, 28, has filed a lawsuit in Mumbai High Court challenging the state government's decision to raise the legal age limit for consuming alcohol from 21 to 25.

"When a 21-year-old is allowed to marry, vote and do several other things, then he or she should also be allowed to indulge in any legal activity including consumption of liquor," Imran told reporters after filing the Public Interest Litigation.

What's interesting about this story is that the government only banned the consumption of alcohol by individuals under the age of 25. The minimum age for purchasing alcohol remains 21.

So, 21-year-old Indians in Maharashtra can buy all the alcohol they desire but they have to let it sit until their 25th birthday before they can drink it. Seems kind of dumb, eh?
