The text, based in part on the work already done by the socialists at the head of the Ministry of Health in 2018, is a "comprehensive framework" that aims to reduce consumption and "protect the youngest" from the harmful effects of this substance through a text that promotes measures such as prevention in educational centres and that compiles others that are already being applied in communities and town halls.

Minister Mónica García explained that the law is guided “by two maxims”: that “there is no amount of alcohol consumption that is not risky, much less for minors” and that early consumption “has been shown to be harmful to their development.” “What is scientific evidence, we make it law,” said the Minister of Health at the press conference following the meeting.
