If you want a drink at the Paris Olympics, be prepared to shell out. Only fans in pricy VIP areas will have access to alcohol.
A country world-renowned for its alcohol exports limits public consumption within its borders. Thanks to a law called Evin's Law, alcohol sales are banned to the general public in France's sports stadiums. Exceptions are allowed, but a spokesperson for the Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games told Reuters on Tuesday that they won't seek one, citing the sheer number of events across two-plus weeks. Exceptions are limited to 10 events per organization per municipality.
