Bihar s 2016 alcohol ban prevented 24 lakh cases of daily and weekly alcohol consumption and 21 lakh cases of intimate partner violence, according to a study published in The Lancet Regional Health Southeast Asia journal. The ban is also estimated to have prevented 18 lakh men in the state from becoming overweight or obese. The study, based on data from national and district level health and household surveys, suggests that stricter alcohol regulation policies may yield significant population-level health benefits for frequent drinkers and victims of intimate partner violence.
In April 2016, the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act brought about a near-complete halt on the manufacture, transport, sale, and consumption of alcohol throughout the state.
