Gujarat has a sumptuary law in force that proscribes the manufacture, storage, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages.

The legislation has been in force since 1 May 1960 when Bombay State was bifurcated into the states of Maharashtra and Gujarat.

It is the only state that carries a death penalty for the manufacture and sale of homemade liquor that results in fatalities.
