The legislation allows you to freely drink alcohol in any place with the exception of those buildings and territories that are prohibited. In particular, the ban applies to public places, educational, children's, medical organizations, and some other objects.
The current legislation does not contain a list of places in which it is allowed to drink alcohol, however, it quite clearly records those objects and territories where it is prohibited. So, a special ban on drinking alcoholic beverages has been established for medical institutions, children's, educational organizations, for the territories immediately adjacent to such objects. In addition, this ban applies to public transport, stopping points, bus stations, stations, gas stations, train stations and airports, markets, high-risk facilities and military facilities. You can not drink alcohol in non-stationary trade facilities, cultural institutions. However, an exception has been made for cultural organizations, since if there are catering organizations in such institutions, you can drink alcohol within the limits of catering points.
Prohibition of drinking alcohol in public places
Separately, the legislation specifies a ban on the use of alcohol in public places. An exhaustive list of such places is not given, however, any territory where there is a mass gathering of people can be attributed to them. An example is recreational areas, forests, parks, entrances, stairs, courtyards, elevators. An exception is made only for the use of certain alcoholic beverages (for example, beer, cider or mead), which is allowed within the catering organizations located in public places. For the rest, the indicated prohibition is unconditional, and its violation may become the basis for bringing to administrative responsibility.
How is the territory adjacent to prohibited objects determined?
In some cases, the legislation not only prohibits drinking alcohol on the territory of a certain object, but also does not allow drinking alcohol in the adjacent territory. Such rules are established, for example, for educational institutions or medical organizations. At the same time, the determination of the boundaries of adjacent territories is attributed to the competence of local government bodies, therefore, for different settlements, this distance can vary. Drinking alcoholic beverages within such territories is equated to drinking alcohol in the prohibited objects themselves, therefore the same liability may follow.
