Weekend Alcohol Sales Banned for Election
Fourth of July revelers heading south of the border won’t be toasting the festivities with alcohol in nightclubs and restaurants.
Mexico law prohibits the sale of alcohol during an election period, which this year runs from midnight Friday to midnight Sunday. Mexico’s voters on Sunday will elect members to the federal congress.
The 48-hour alcohol ban is expected to hurt local businesses during the busy tourism weekend, which lures many Americans to hotels, nightclubs and restaurants in Tijuana and Baja California’s beach resort areas.
