Paris Olympics 2024: Alcohol only for VIPs.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo Sports
Alcohol sales will be banned to the general public during the Paris Olympics due to Evin's Law, which restricts public distribution and marketing of alcohol and tobacco in France. Only fans in VIP areas will have access to alcohol, thanks to a loophole that permits alcohol distribution in hospitality areas. The law restricts advertising on television, marketing toward young people, and sponsorships by alcohol brands among other regulations.
