Public officials have been banned from drinking all alcohol during their working days, after the news appeared.

The regulation appeared in Qingcheng County, Gansu Province, and Nanyang City, Henan Province, where the local management issued a notice on the Regulations on the Prohibition of Drinking Alcohol by Public Officials (for Trial Implementation). In the notice for civil servants prohibited from drinking alcohol, has the following provisions.

Before this provision was introduced, public officials were not allowed to drink during working hours, and violators would be severely penalized.

And this time, the scope of the ban was further expanded; not only during working hours, but also in the case of alcohol consumption.

Even outside of the eight-hour workday, drinking is not allowed as long as it is a workday. With this rule, the hours of prohibition have been greatly increased.

The second rule: drinking on holidays is strictly prohibited

Even on holidays, if you are on duty, you still can't drink. And there is a need to drink on occasions, but also need to report to the relevant departments in advance.

If you have a wedding or funeral at home, you need to apply to the leadership in advance to report; in the report, you need to say the appropriate address, the size of the banquet, and their own drinking standards and so on.

Even for those who go out to participate in the training of the personnel, but also can not have drinking, or the situation of mutual feast.

With the advent of this ban, it is also known as the strictest ban in history. I think in this case, can also further standardize the situation of official banquets; so that the culture of drinking, get effective relief.

In my personal opinion, such a ban on alcohol can enhance the efficiency of public officials; and in many cases, it also allows them to better accept the supervision of the public.

These bans are accompanied by monitoring and spot-checking mechanisms to ensure that they are effective and do not become a dead letter.
