This could end the Budapest party district
A Budapest district would ban alcohol sales after 10 pm in the Hungarian capital’s party district.
You can’t buy alcohol after 10 pm in many shops already, but soon you won’t be able to buy it in National Tobacco Shops either.
According to economx.hu, the mayor of ErzsĂ©betvĂ¡ros, PĂ©ter NiedermĂ¼ller, drew attention to the fact that there are many problems with alcohol consumption in public spaces in the centre of Budapest. ErzsĂ©betvĂ¡ros, in cooperation with several municipalities, has therefore introduced rules restricting shops from selling alcohol after 10pm. However, the mayor says this is not enough, as tobacco shops are not regulated by the government.
The politician added that alcoholic beverages bought in National Tobacco Stores are often consumed on the street in front of the shops. This disturbs the peace and quiet of the people who live there, which is why the district would further tighten the ban on alcohol consumption in public places.
“We believe that further regulation is needed to discourage the consumption of alcohol in public places, and we will therefore take the initiative at the district level, together with my fellow mayors and MPs, to ensure that tobacco shops are subject to the same rules as all other businesses,” the district said in a statement.

Personally, I do not understand the need to get hammered in order to have a good time but penalizing everybody for the actions of a few is never the answer. If public disorder is a problem, then deal with those who cause such disturbances rather than abridge the liberties of EVERYONE.
