Mexican government has instructed breweries to shut down.
Noted they are a non essential business.

I predicted this a week ago and told Les to stock up. He didn't believe me until yesterday when the mechanic who is also a liquor store owner, told
him Tecate factory had closed down. Which means the Pacifico factory too.
Who ARE they kidding ?????
I predict they will reverse their decision. At least, I hope so. It could get very ugly, very fast.

No draconian measures but alcohol could be banned
President López Obrador on Friday ruled out any possibility of implementing “draconian measures” to contain the spread of Covid-19 but said that
the government will consider banning alcohol sales.
Halting beer production triggers panic buying
An announcement that beer production and all alcohol sales will be suspended in Nuevo León beginning on Friday shocked consumers, sending many to
head to liquor vendors to stock up.

Wonder what the stock on hand is and how long they will restock orders from stores? This could be a VERY long month.

You might have to break out some 'hoarded' toilet paper to barter for beer!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

TP hasn't been an issue down here that I have seen other than costco one day when I stopped in to check the lines so I think it's switch to tequila
when the cervesa stock is depleted.

People have been making booze for a long time...
You can do more with your own hands than use a keyboard.
Get up and get going!

Mind you, I am not a beer drinker, actually, I hardly drink at all. But the mechanic who owns a local liquor store was worried about 4 guys who are
alcoholics and regulars at his store. I worry about them too. I am presuming that tequila and all other boozes will not be delivered? From what I
understand, alcoholics can not stop cold turkey or they can die.

I don’t think one needs to be a fortune teller to see an increase in home brew! Same folks who sell drugs will be offering drugs and something to
drink!
A comeback for the Mexican Cantinas of old! Girls, liquor and gambling!
Viva Zapata! The Campisitos have lived through much worse!
On the downside they will probably want to be paid in gold, not AMEX!

When I was in the Medical Business Alcoholics on an IV had Ethanol added to their IVs to prevent the DTs and Convulsions! Restraining Patients can
damage the patient, equipment and staff! Better to avoid the problem.
