Activists want a ban on alcohol sales in Warsaw at night

A ban on alcohol sales at night from 10 pm to 6 am is being considered in Warsaw. It remains to be seen whether the idea will gain acceptance, but it is worth saying that there are several municipalities near Warsaw that have already introduced such legislation. There are also several cities in Poland where this has worked for several years. The "The City is Ours" association hopes that a night-time ban on alcohol sales will improve safety in the capital.

This is the case, for example, in Brwinów, where a similar ban has been in effect for four years. Only beer can be purchased after 10 pm. 

"This is to protect the health of the younger generation, which is increasingly turning to alcohol," Jacek Karnowski, mayor of Sopot, said. 

Currently, in Sopot, the ban on alcohol sales is in effect from 2 am to 6 am.
