Mexico City's government announced it is considering measures to limit the sale of alcohol in public spaces, following a massive celebration where more than 700,000 people gathered downtown to celebrate the Mexican national football team's advancement to the knockout stage of the World Cup.
The event, which took place after Mexico's victory, led to widespread street drinking and concerns about public order and safety. Officials are now evaluating potential restrictions, including bans on alcohol sales in certain areas during future large-scale events.
Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the government aims to balance public enjoyment with safety and cleanliness. The proposed measures are part of a broader effort to manage crowds and reduce incidents of public intoxication.
No specific timeline for the implementation of these restrictions has been announced, but discussions are ongoing with local businesses and community leaders.
