If you have been stashing up on those beer bottles at home for a long weekend party, be careful. A bottle more than a dozen can land you in jail for as many as three years, in addition to a minimum penalty of Rs 2,000 that can be several times more depending on the brand of alcohol or the number of bottles found.

The British-era United Provinces (UP) Excise Act, 1910, which governs trading and consumption of alcohol and narcotics in Uttar Pradesh, makes it illegal to store more than 7.84 litres of alcohol at home.
Section 60 of the Act lays down penalties for unlawful transport, manufacture as well as possession of alcohol. This means one can store only 12 bottles of beer having volume of 650ml each.
