Panaji: Bombarded with complaints about drinking of alcohol on beaches, roads and highways and in public areas by tourists, the Goa government on Monday introduced an amendment to the state excise law which recommends identification of "no alcohol consumption zones" across Goa. Those found drinking in these zones will be fined up to Rs 10,000, the Bill recommends. Goa is known for cheap alcohol, thanks to a liberal excise regime on liquors across the board. — ians
