This ban is to avoid drunken in-fighting between local factions and the odd barang drinking at home should have a negligible affect on the outcome.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 3:39 pm Not so fast you drunkards, there is a ban on consumption as well as sales.

Re: Alcohol ban on June 4-5 for elections
I don't remember it being enforced on western bars before but it's been 4 years and this time could be different. All Khmer staff should have been given the two days off so that they can go vote so could be skelton staff. There will be a low profile at a minimum. Just go look and see if you are curious. If places are serving, I'd recommend keeping it low key, don't go staggering down the street bawling out rugby songs.

It seems to me that polling is the problem, not boozing.
Anyway, we don't vote so why she we be subjected to the ban? I might write to HE and register my protest.
It was nice knowing you all...
