Yes, the government bans alcohol sales during the whole weekend of federal elections.   However, Federal Elections are only every 6 years.

Not all alcohol is legal.  Absinthe and moonshine are both still illegal due to the lethality.  Some it might be due to taxes, but in reality I think it has more to do with the majority of us who vote don't want it legal.

No, all of the outstanding election results have been determined. All of them. Nevada voted yes on a ban on pot.

Government hates to loose money like that. OH, NO\nThey will never make it illegal. They want our tax money to support their lifestyles.\nRemember when alcohol was illegal in the old days?

The elections in Mexico are gonna be in the middle of the world cup. \n\nI believe that all of the attention will be in the World cup about three weeks before the elections, so anybody will be looking at the news, and hearing about the candidates. \n\nSo, it will affect, of course, because all of them need to convince the voters before the world cup start. And they need to convince them strongly, because there is so much scepticism that a great part of our population will not even botter to vote.\n\nI truly believe this time the winner will be the abstentionism, wich of course is so bad to our democracy.

Mainly when the automotive ind. decides to earn less money and throw away part of the technology they've been using for about 90 years. But regarding alcohol it is already used in some countries like Brazil, but there is no big difference... we should go for hydrogen or solar... well actually water looks nice but I don't think it'll work.

It has always been to Mexico's politicians advantage to keep its people in ignorance, that is the only way they can maintain power and be corrupting. This why poor cannot get a higher education due to the cost.  Most of these elite politicians have been educated abroad, Harvard, Yale, etc.\nThe last protest in Mexico took place last week from  flower street vendors in a town outside Mexico City, called San Salvador Atenco the police force was brutal and killed a 14 year old kid and injuring many. Most of the vendors are now in jail.  Is it better for them to be thieves and criminals than to sell their flowers since there are no jobs in  country for them? So it does seem the Mexican government is pushing these people to be either criminals or illegals. Mexico is well aware that illegals are keeping \nits economy afloat. Fox even called them "heroes" because of the money they send back home. Bush needs to have a serious talk with this guy, instead of giving each other cowboy boots as gifts and riding around each others ranches commenting about horseshit.

As a U.S. citizen in Mexico I can vouch for a lot of this info.  Mexico would never allow demonstrations like the ones in the US today (May 1st).  The illegals should be happy they are in such a free country and stop waving the Mexican flag!

This is an idea that sounds like it might work, but it doesn't. \n\nMaryland used to have this setup: 18 for beer and wine, 21 for hard liquor.  But everyone knew you could just as drunk on beer and wine if you drank more of it, and this is the type of challenge 18 year olds are eager to take on.  So the rule was pointless. It created a sort of gray area where a strict adherence to black and white would be a better policy.\n\nMaryland scrapped the rule. Now it's 21 for everything.

ha ha  pancha 's  answer was funny a bit stricter my ass \n\nPursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.\n\n* Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable."\n\n* Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports.\n\n* Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices. In accordance with Article 130, immigrants - even legal ones - may not become members of the clergy, either.\n\n* Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters."\n\n* Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right!\n\n* The Mexican constitution states that foreigners - not just illegal immigrants - may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."
