Better Stock Up Today!
Due to the municipal elections to be held on Sunday, 3 December, all liquor and beer sales will be suspended as of midnight tonight (Friday) and until midnight Monday.

What that means is that restaurants will not be able to sell beer, wine or spirits with meals as of midnight tonight.

All Bars, cantinas and drinking holes will be closed down. Those businesses that offer more than alcoholic drinks will be permitted open but will have their liquor cabinets "sealed" my members of the Fuerza Pública (police) and Municipal police which will be out in full force tonight to close down bars and establishments that continue operating after midnight.

Supermarkers, pulperias (neighbourhood stores) and department stores will have to section off all liquor, wine and beer areas.

In effect, the country goes "dry" as of midnight under and old and archaic law that has seen discussion on changes but legislators seem slow to move on.

The law affects all national elections that occur every four years and includes the Easter holiday period of Good Thursday and Good Friday each year.

If you must, stock up today, before it is too late. And for the love of life, please, do not drink and drive!
