Is it legal to drink in public in rio de janeiro, brazil?

Question

I'm going to Rio in about a week and am wondering whether it is legal to drink alcohol in public...the beach, the streets, the subway, outside the soccer stadiumn, etc.

Answer 1

For sure! It's legal to drink whatever you want and wherever you are.

But you can't just drink alcoholic drinks if you being to drive. Because recently it was made a law that if you having a little of alcohol in your blood you can go jailed. And if you killing a person in a driving accident (it doesn't matter if you wanted or not) you will answer for a crime with intention of killing.

Brazil to the rest of the world means women, alcoholic drinks, soccer etc...But many people forget Brazil is a country with constitutional laws. Take care of everything. Here is not a country like Sodom or Gomorrah.

Have fun with moderation...
