Ley seca literally translates to “dry law” in Mexico. It refers to the restriction on the sale of alcoholic beverages during specific times. In Mexico, it’s most commonly implemented around elections.
Here’s a breakdown of Ley Seca in Mexico:
- Purpose: Ley Seca aims to maintain order and safety during elections by limiting alcohol consumption.
- Application: Each Mexican state has the authority to decide whether or not to implement Ley Seca and the specific restrictions. There have also been proposals to remove Ley Seca altogether.
- Duration: Typically, Ley Seca applies for two days: the day before the election and the election day itself.
It’s important to note that while Ley Seca restricts the sale of alcohol, there may be exceptions for restaurants serving drinks with meals. If you’re unsure about the specifics in your area, it’s best to consult local authorities or news outlets closer to the election date.
