Presidential Election

TMW - 2-17-2006 at 07:31 PM

Since the Mexican Presidential election is Sunday July 2. Is the entire weekend dry? Does that mean even the resturants and bars too. I seem to remember someone saying that may have changed. It's a 4 day weekend for me so to be safe I'll bring my own.

In the recent BCS election (gov) I went the day before to buy beer, no way! No alcohol sales for two days!
