NEW DELHI: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday dished out some original advice to drinkers who've been left high and dry by prohibition in the state. He suggested that juice, if consumed in darkness, would be indistinguishable from alcoholic drinks."Such big positive change has come in, why ruin it for a peg or two? Turn off the lights and drink juice, you will feel its the same," Nitish was quoted as saying by ANI.Nitish also spoke about the sense of fulfillment implementing prohibition had given him. "The happiness and satisfaction that I achieved from banning alcohol was something I never achieved before," he claimed.Nitish Kumar's government enforced total Prohibition in Bihar in April this year. He's even asked PM Modi to impose prohibition across India.And Bihar residents can expect their government to toughen its stance on liquor consumption further in the near future. On Wednesday, Bihar Governor Ram Nath signed an even stricter prohibition law - the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Bill 2016 The bill, for example, authorizes the state police to take all members of a family into custody, if it finds a single bottle of liquor in their home. What's more, every single section in the bill is non-bailable. This means that only courts, and not police stations can grant bail to those booked under its provisions.With inputs from ANI
