New legislation in Quintana Roo limits the hours in which alcoholic beverages can be sold in stores, bars and clubs.
According to the law, which take effect on February 10th, the sale of intoxicating drinks in sealed containers in convenience stores and supermarkets will be prohibited after 11:00 pm.
Approximately 600 stores in the Mexican state paid extra money for permits to sell sealed beverages until 2:00 am in 2018 on contracts through September of last year. Local government decided to offer extended contracts through January until the new legislation went into effect.
Juan Pablo Aguirre de la Torre, former Director of the Restaurant Industry Association (CANIRAC), warned that the new law could negatively affect the restaurant industry and complained that owners of establishments that sell alcohol were not consulted about the law´s safety guidelines.
