The Public Health Ministry will jail restaurant owners whose menus recommend alcoholic beverages.

Free coupons for alcohol or discounts on cover charges for events or concerts are violations of the alcohol advertising control law, which went into effect in February. In addition, it restricts the sale of alcohol in or near temples, public parks, government offices and schools of any level.
