I started drinking at the age of 18: Imran

Imran Khan

Imran Khan isrecenly starting the a campaign. Imran Khan start drinking alcohol. Bollywood actor Imran Khan has launched a campaign against a new law which raises the legal drinking age for hard liquor from 21 to 25 in India's western Maharashtra state. Imran Khan made a flashy entry with his iPad in hand, while he was in the capital to address a press conference regarding his PIL. He is of the view that if one can vote at the age of eighteen and get married too then, why the drinking age has been raised to twenty five.

In one question Imran Khan says that he is not in favour of consumption of alcohol, as I am aware of the damage that alcohol does to health. But, I am of the view at everyone who is an adult, is a responsible individual in himself to know what is right or wrong for him, so why should the government interfere and decide things for him. Hand-holding should not happen.

Imran Khan who have the US citizenship also added that he would file the PIL through his lawyers in Maharashtra. Imran also confessed that he started drinking at the age of 18 and had his first peg with his parents, justifying that his parents have never stopped him from doing anything, so he know his responsibilities. He also added that the recent decision of the State Government to raise the legal drinking age from 21 to 25 is illogical and counterproductive.
