A dry day in India is a day on which the sale and/or serving of alcohol is prohibited.
On dry days, liquor shops are closed and hotels, bars, and restaurants may not serve alcohol, unless there is a notification from the state excise department permitting them to do so.
The purpose of dry days is to promote public order and safety, and to reduce alcohol-related problems.
