Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Associated Press
San Juan, Puerto Rico's capital known for its vibrant nightlife, is set to implement a new municipal code in November that will restrict alcohol sales after certain hours. The code, signed by Mayor Miguel Romero, aims to curb violence and noise but has faced opposition from businesses and residents accustomed to late-night partying. The new rules will not apply to hotels and their guests. Supporters argue that the code will strengthen the economy and tourism, while critics fear a drop in revenue and question its enforcement.
