Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study is to give recommendations on public drinking restriction in the alcohol accessibility policies in order to bring about changes in the alcohol consumption norm.
Methods: As for in-country literature, reports of government agencies and research papers were reviewed.
Results: Though public drinking prohibition laws differ from state to state, one common law that every state shares are that, it is illegal to drink in public areas in Australia. Canada’s alcohol law jurisdiction is based on the federal law or local government. All territories and states commonly share the same principals of public alcohol consumption. It is illegal to drink alcohol in public and public spaces are defined broadly throughout Canada. The law prohibits people from carrying around opened alcohol bottles in the USA. Under the alcohol laws in Singapore, one can drink in public but only during specific times. Violating the public drinking prohibition time will amount to consequences ranging from a fine to imprisonment.
Conclusions: Thus, prohibiting public drinking should be clearly stated under the National Health Promotion Act. Detailed locations should be also defined under the jurisdiction from the local government’s ordinance.
