it is illegal to bring your own drinks in bars. Consumers have the right to choose their own goods or services. To some extent, bring your own drinks can be said to be the choices made by consumers after comparing the drinks provided by merchants.

"No bringing your own drinks" is an unfair and unreasonable regulation in the catering industry. It belongs to unfair and unreasonable provisions made by catering operators to increase consumers' responsibilities by taking advantage of their dominant position, which violates relevant laws and regulations and belongs to the overlord clause.

The ways to report the prohibition of bringing your own drinks are as follows:

1. If a restaurant or hotel prohibits bringing your own drinks, you can complain directly to the industrial and commercial department or call 12315.

2. Although catering operators have the pricing power of the goods they sell and the services they provide, they should fulfill their due responsibilities while making profits, and they cannot ignore and violate the market rules of fair trade and equal value compensation. The industry and commerce department requires catering enterprises in the city to carry out self-examination and self-correction within 1 months according to the illegal expression of the "overlord clause" issued this time. If they fail to make corrections within the time limit, the industry and commerce will punish them.
