Representative of the sector giants A brewer like Ambev and Heineken, the Sindicerv (National Union of the Beer Industry) cited the negative impact of the measure on economic loss.

"If the (19459006) I am, in court, a policy of violence reduction," said Terra.
According to the next minister, time limits justify why most accidents and deaths caused by intoxicated people occur after midnight.
According to Paulo Solmucci, president of the Abrasel (Brazilian Association of Bars and Restaurants), the speech of the emedebista "includes very important misconceptions". "Planners preach the exact opposite, encouraging commerce and services, especially bars and restaurants, to enhance public safety, and a street with people is safer," he says. "He's ill-prepared on the subject and it's amazing that he's attempting an attempt in this area without listening to the industry."
Solmucci also baderts that such a restriction does not fall within ministerial jurisdiction. "When he says to do it in a few cities only – it depends on the local community, the mayor, the councilors, and he would do well in his ministry, which already has a lot. "
Fábio Aguayo, president of another clbad entity, Abrabar (Brazilian Association of Bars and Discos), says that he thinks there has been precipitation in the statement.
"I thought it was not a government program, it was his idea, and I'm worried because it's indicated on an evangelical bench."
According to Sindcerv, the bar and restaurant sector employs 3 million people in the country and 60% of consumption in this sector comes from alcoholic beverages. "
Terra cited as an example of success Diadema (Greater São Paulo), which since 2002 has a law forcing bars to close at 11 pm
In the evening, the future minister issued a clarification of the social network : "The future government of President Bolsonaro has made no decision on limiting the sale of alcoholic beverages. "What I put in the context of the proposals to reduce poverty and violence, is to limit the hours of night sales in the most violent places, and only," wrote Terra on Twitter
