Lite Beer Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 New law banning drinking on Government premises issued BANGKOK, 23 August 2012 (NNT) - A Prime Minister’s Office announcement banning the sale and the consumption of alcohol on the premises of government agencies has been published in the Royal Gazette. It will be effective from today, August 23. The law, earlier proposed by the National Alcohol Policy Committee, states that both the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages are prohibited in all state enterprises and state agencies, excluding shops, clubs or residences housed in the premises. The ban will not be imposed on the Excise Department’s Liquor Distillery Organization, however. The move follows another legislature banning the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public vehicles and in factories, issued on August 8. -- NNT 2012-08-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, once the amendment will turn the excluding shops, clubs or residences into including shops, clubs or residences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morakot Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Will ear medication still be allowed? Definitely not! It has been banned since the last large-scale crack down, together with ear candles as they can be deployed to better hear discontent about populist policies.

Moruya Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I wonder if the lawmakers toasted the first bit of legislation they have managed to get successfully implemented in a long, long time. I wonder if Chalerm broke into his supply of ear medicine at Government House? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooka Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I guess the Pollies will have to be sober when they make and pass pieces of legislation. Also I guess no more formal dinners at Parliarment house either. Edited August 23, 2012 by chooka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
