Gujarat is a dry state for almost six decades. Now has plan to make prohibition law more stringent, particularly for locals who could end up in jail for three years and pay Rs 5 lakh fine if caught with liquor bottle. For visitors and tourists access to alcohol has been made easier. This study was carried out in GMERS Medical College and General Hospital, Vadodara. Total 1276 cases were recorded from April 2015 to march 2016. During the year number of cases found increased during the winter months and decreased during summer months. More cases are recorded from people of low economical communities. Law implementation, education, employment and reduced work stress will definitely help to reduce alcohol intake and to build nation.
