ID checks to ensure legal drinking age


In the wake of drink-drive road accidents, including the May 19 Pune Porsche case where a minor was involved in the death of two motorcyclists, the association has adopted stricter measures. Staff members, particularly bartenders, have undergone special training for New-Year parties to ensure that both guests and the community stay safe during the celebrations. All guests, especially young partygoers, will be required to present valid ID cards upon entry to ensure alcohol is only served to those of legal drinking age.

Kamlesh Barot, former president of HRAWI, highlighted the association’s efforts to not only monitor alcohol consumption but also promote responsible drinking. Posters reminding guests of the dangers of drunk driving, along with the slogan ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’, have been prominently displayed at hotels to raise awareness.
