About this statute

This law states that the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors is prohibited, and it also announces other provisions. It is prohibited to sell alcoholic beverages to minors, and an adult who helps provide the beverages or obtain them may be sanctioned under police rules. Un menor hallado consumiendo bebidas embriagantes o en estado de beodez debe asistir con sus padres o acudientes a un curso de prevención del alcoholismo en el ICBF o la entidad que lo reemplace. Alcohol-related advertising, identification, and promotion must expressly refer to the prohibition in this law, and sellers must display the law’s text in a visible place. A minor offender must not be detained; instead, they must be summoned to appear within 48 hours with a parent or guardian before the Family Defender or substitute, and the Municipal Personero or delegate.
