Question: Alcohol laws of India regulate the alcohol laws, which prohibits alcohol consumption in Gujarat, Bihar and Nagaland as well as this union territory which means "one hundred thousand islands" in what?

 The archipelago is a Union Territory and is governed by the Union Government of India. Lakshadweep ( ,    , Lakshadīb), formerly known as the Laccadive, Minicoy, and Aminidivi Islands ( ), is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea, 200 to off the south western coast of India.  They were also known as Laccadive Islands, although geographically this is only the name of the central subgroup of the group.  "Lakshadweep" comes from "Lakshadwipa", which means "one hundred thousand islands" in Sanskrit.  The islands form the smallest Union Territory of India: their total surface area is just 32 km2 .  The lagoon area covers about 4200 km2 , the territorial waters area 20000 km2 and the exclusive economic zone area 400000 km2 .  The region forms a single Indian district with 10 subdivisions.  Kavaratti serves as the capital of the Union Territory and the region comes under the jurisdiction of Kerala High Court.  The islands are the northernmost of the Lakshadweep-Maldives-Chagos group of islands, which are the tops of a vast undersea mountain range, the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge. <SEP> Alcohol in pregnancy is the use of alcohol (also known formally as ethanol) during gestation.  This also includes the time period between conception and awareness of the pregnancy.  Alcohol use not only can result in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), but it can result in one or many other disorders and conditions.  Not all women who consume alcohol during pregnancy will have a baby with all of the features and characteristics of FASP.  Alcohol use during pregnancy also can cause spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, low birthweight, and prematurity.  Alcohol consumption can begin in the later stages of pregnancy after the development of facial characteristics of an infant are almost fully developed.  Not all infants exposed to alcohol in utero will have defects related to the alcohol consumption.  Alcohol use during pregnancy can also result in the inability to care for an infant after the birth if the drinking continues.  The use of alcohol during pregnancy is associated with domestic violence and potential harm to the infant. <SEP> The alcohol laws of Kentucky, which govern the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in that state, lead to a confusing patchwork of counties that are dry, prohibiting all sale of alcoholic beverages; wet, permitting full retail sales under state license; and "moist", occupying a middle ground between the two.  A justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court wrote in 1985 that the state's alcohol laws were a "maze of obscure statutory language" and "confusing at best."  The general counsel of the Kentucky Office of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) noted in 2012, "That's still the case."  This led Kentucky governor Steve Beshear to appoint a task force in summer 2012 to attempt to streamline the state's alcohol laws. <SEP> The legal drinking age in India and the laws which regulate the sale and consumption of alcohol vary significantly from state to state.  In India, consumption of alcohol is prohibited in the states of Gujarat, Bihar and Nagaland as well as the union territory of Lakshadweep.  There is a partial ban on alcohol in some districts of Manipur.  All other Indian states permit alcohol consumption but fix a legal drinking age, which ranges at different ages per region.  In some states, the legal drinking age can be different for different types of alcoholic beverage.
