The UAE announced amendments to a raft of laws on Saturday including prohibiting the consumption of alcoholic beverages in public places or unlicensed locations.
The law also prohibits the sale, provision or incitement or inducement to consume alcoholic beverages to any person below 21 years of age.
The raft of new laws and legislative amendments came during the “Year of the 50th” and are intended to keep pace with the developmental achievements of the UAE and reflect the country’s future aspirations.
