‘Don’t mess with our beers’: outrage in Mexico over motion to ban sale of cold beer
A lawmaker in Mexico City proposed outlawing the sale of the cold drink in a bid to reduce public and underage drinking
Mexico City residents may have to slake their thirsts with warm beer after a local lawmaker introduced a motion on Wednesday to ban the sale of the cold beverage in convenience stores.
The motion – met with incredulity on social media – would modify Mexico City’s commerce laws to ban selling beer or beverages of 7% or less alcohol content, which are “refrigerated or in different conditions than the ambient temperature.”
