    On Tuesday, St. Vincent and the Grenadines enacted a new law prohibiting the consumption of alcohol at funerals, a move that underscores the government’s commitment to preserving the solemnity of these events. Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves had addressed the issue in May, describing the growing trend of alcohol use at funerals as deeply concerning. He argued that the increasing prevalence of drinking at such occasions was undermining the respectful nature traditionally associated with funerals.

    “We have always treated funerals with a deep sense of solemnity,” Gonsalves stated, reaffirming his hope that this long-standing tradition would continue unimpeded by the newly imposed restrictions. The legislation marks a significant step in the government’s efforts to restore the dignity and reverence of funeral ceremonies across the nation.
