Alcohol sales today!!

[TXreefer]

So the last few times we have arrived in CZM on Saturdays they stop selling alcohol after 3pm. The first time it was election time and I understand all of that. But the last couple times it wasn't election and they had the same practice.

Today we purposely scheduled our flight to arrive at 12PM to give us plenty of time. As you can see by the time stamp, we are delayed and won't likely make the 3pm deadline.

Anyone have any info on the deal? We want to buy bulk for our condo, not necessarily at a restaurant.

Its sundays when alcohol sales stop at 3. There is a couple of OXXOS that sell until 5 though (one beside Eagle Riders Harley Davidson). There may be some shortage of alcohol on the island for the next week , as Mossman is here and Secrets will no doubt be scrounging from all sources to meet his needs.

JFS- thanks for the info. We have now boarded with fingers crossed!

Nevertheless, that's the Sunday law, not Saturday.

Maybe he has a reputation and they bring out the "No Booze" sign when they see him coming?

It's our experience that Sunday is the 3pm cut off... but you can still order drinks at a bar/restaurant on that day. Just can't buy bottles at the store.
