A new law has been passed in Goa which says that you will have to pay a fine or even be sent to prison if you’re caught drinking in public areas like beaches. As per the Chief Minister of Goa, Manohar Parrikar, it was noted that drinking on Goa beaches will be a punishable offense with a fine up to ₹5000.
