As in many other parts of India, drinking alcohol in public is discouraged in Gwalior to maintain social decorum and avoid public nuisance. While there is no specific ban on drinking in public places, it can lead to disapproval or even legal consequences. Therefore, it is recommended that alcohol only be consumed in licensed venues such as bars, restaurants, or private rooms where it is permitted. Drinking in public may be considered a violation of the law and may result in fines or arrest.
