UP News: As the festive season approaches, there's some great news for party enthusiasts in Uttar Pradesh. With just two weeks left for the arrival of the new year, the UP Excise Department has extended the closing time for liquor shops, allowing more time to stock up for those holiday celebrations. Whether you're gearing up for a fun-filled Christmas bash or planning a grand New Year's Eve party, this change is bound to add some extra cheer.
UP Wine Shop Timing Extended for Festive Season
In a recent announcement, the Excise Department of Uttar Pradesh revealed that liquor and beer shops will remain open for an additional hour on select days in December. Normally, these shops are open from 10 am to 10 pm, but for three key days—December 24, 25, and 31—liquor outlets will operate until 11 pm.
More Time to Stock Up for Christmas and New Year Celebrations
The extension of hours on these special days is sure to make a difference for those planning their Christmas and New Year celebrations. Whether you prefer a glass of wine to toast the holiday season or are stocking up on beer for a larger gathering, the extended UP wine shop timing means you won't have to rush.
On December 24th and 25th, the Excise Department is giving partygoers an extra hour of shopping. The same will happen on December 31st, ensuring there's plenty of time to grab your favorite liquor before heading out to your New Year’s Eve party.
This decision comes as a welcome relief to many who like to celebrate these occasions with a drink in hand, especially when festivities often run late into the night.
Why This Extension Matters for UP's Party Scene
The holiday season is a time when celebrations are in full swing. On both Christmas and New Year's Eve, there's a significant increase in alcohol consumption as people gather with friends and family to ring in the holidays.
By extending the operating hours, the Excise Department ensures that everyone can get their hands on liquor and beer for their parties. This move is also seen as a strategic decision, as it boosts revenue for the Excise Department, given the higher sales during these festive times.
A Word of Caution - Stay Safe While Celebrating
While the extended hours are a great addition to the party atmosphere, it's essential to remember to celebrate responsibly. Every year, there are incidents where people drive under the influence, leading to accidents. As the holiday cheer flows, it's important to plan ahead, have a designated driver, or use alternative transportation options to ensure everyone's safety.
