What is liquor

Section 2(L) of the Goa Excise Duty Act and Rules, 1964, defines liquor as the following.

  • Liquor include Beer, Feny, Spirit of Wine, methylated or denatured spirit, spirit, wine, toddy and include all liquid consisting of or containing alcohol, wash other medicinal preparation.
  • Any intoxicated substance which is declared liquor by the way of notification.
  • The legal age for alcohol consumption in Goa is 25.
