The Peruvian government banned the consumption of liquor by military and police personnel in order to prevent drunken uniformed personnel from committing outrages. This measure was implemented in the context of complaints of human rights violations and excesses committed by the forces of law and order during anti-subversive operations in emergency zones such as Ayacucho. The prohibition sought to establish controls over the conduct of the uniformed forces at a time of intense counterinsurgency activity.
