To reduce alcohol consumption, the Seimas enacted this ban last fall. The year had to be long enough for the company to adapt to the new business conditions.
Ernesta Dapkienė, director of the Communication and Image Department of the Maxima retail chain, told BNS that sales of the alcohol did not increase a few weeks before the ban took effect.
“We will no longer order from mid-October. Two days ago, the balance of such alcohol was several thousand units in Lithuania,” he told BNS.
“Buyers still had the right to buy on Saturday and Sunday, certainly not anymore,” added E. Dapkienė.
As of Sunday, it is also not possible to sell alcohol over 22 degrees in very small cups and other containers intended for direct consumption, as well as beer, fermented and alcoholic cocktails with a temperature higher than 6 degrees in plastic containers over 0 ,2 liters.
Drinks below 6 degrees can be sold in plastic containers up to 1 liter.
The goal is to remove the “navel” and strong alcohol from the market in a plastic package shaped like a disposable cup.
