These parties have introduced the alcohol prohibition bill to parliament. If the bill passed it will make it illegal to sell, distribute, and to consume drinks with more than 1 percent alcohol content. In 2018, major trends of spirits are premium drinks, craft beer, craft spirits, sparkling wine, blended drinks, healthy options non-alcoholic options and convenience.
