New Liquor Law

14 years ago
The Ecuadoran government has decreed that liquor may not be sold on Sundays, starting June 20, 2010. This applies to bars, restaurants, liquor stores, markets, etc. - all liquor sales are prohibited. Bars will also be subject to closing hours; midnight Monday through Thursday, 2 AM on Friday and Saturday.

The stated goal is to reduce violent crime associated with alcohol use. This decree was issued without public discussion, and, of course, bar and night club owners are angry that they will loose a large percentage of their business.
