Mexico City Considers Street Drinking Regulations After World Cup Waste Surge

Mexico City officials are evaluating new regulations concerning street drinking. This consideration follows a recent large-scale World Cup celebration that generated a significant amount of waste.

Authorities reported that approximately 40 tons of waste were collected from Reforma Avenue and the city’s historic center in the aftermath of the event. The substantial volume of refuse has prompted the review of existing policies and the potential implementation of new rules regarding public consumption of alcohol.

The outcome of this regulatory review and any potential changes to street drinking policies have not yet been determined. Further details on the proposed regulations are expected as the authorities continue their deliberations.
