On Christmas Eve the combined sales of Kerala State Beverages Corporation (Bevco) and Consumerfed was a record Rs 76.5 crore.
BEVCO alone sold liquor worth Rs 65 crore through its 265 outlets.
The decision from the excise department comes in the backdrop of continued malpractices despite repeated warnings.
The move comes in the wake of the pressure applied by liquor companies by reducing liquor supply in protest against the BEVCO directive to remit excise duty directly.
The survey says 18.7 percent men in rural areas and 21 percent men in cities consume alcohol in Kerala.
The liquor outlets of the Kerala State Beverages (Manufacturing & Marketing) Corporation Ltd or Bevco will only have cameras for surveillance from this Christmas onwards.
The Kerala High Court on Thursday said it was only concerned with ensuring that the next generation does not have to stand in the long queues outside liquor outlets.
Justice Devan Ramachandran asked the High Court Registry to register the revision petition moved by Sudheeran, also a former MP, and to list it for hearing on November 25.
The move is also intended to reduce the time customers spend at the counters demanding their preferences. Bevco is planning to install the facility in all its outlets across the state within one month.
The Excise Commissionerate and state-run BEVCO told the court that sanctioning more outlets could ease the pressure on the existing 306 licensed liquor shops.
