In most of the Asian countries the law is similar but the law is not very strict as far as drinking goes.Like in my country too there is an age bar and one can not drink in public but it is not very strict and a little flexibility is there.We have never faced any problem or heard anyone facing any problem regarding drinking here.How strict is the government there for the drinking rule?
