"Ley Seca"?

(Yo) Hablaba con mi amigo hoy y me explicaba sobre una ley en Mexico se llama "La ley seca". Me dijo que este sabado y domingo que viene es la elección por el presidente de Mexico. En estos dos días, la ley dice que nadie puede vender ni comprar cervezas o otras bebidas alcohólicas. ¿Podría alguien explecar esto un poco más? Muchísimas gracias

No sabía que existía esa ley seca en México. La ley seca que conozco es esta:
Quote:
La Ley Seca, entendida como la prohibición de vender bebidas alcohólicas, estuvo vigente en los Estados Unidos entre 1920 y 1933. Fue establecida por la Enmienda XVIII a la Constitución de los Estados Unidos y derogada por la Enmienda XXI.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_sec...Estados_Unidos

No sé si es eso exactamente lo que preguntas, pero por ley seca entiendo una ley que prohibe la venta de alcohol. Desde luego, la palabra "seca" no es nada literal porque el agua, los zumos, los refrescos, etc., no son secos.

@BJ: Probablemente el nombre se inspiró en La Prohibición de los años de Elliot Ness; en México sólo es prohibir la venta de bebidas alcohólicas durante 24 horas, mientras dura una elección de funcionarios de gobierno (federales o estatales).
