No drinking the night before an election

Here's something handy (and interesting): In Argentina, it is illegal to sell alcohol the night before an election. The idea is that politicians want the electorate to head to the polls with clear heads. Technically, grocery stores, kiosks and bars stop selling in the early evening, and discoteques just don't open. Of course, compliance with the law is spotty, and you shouldn't have trouble ordering alcohol at a restaurant -- just ask your waiter to dress your drink as a soda or a smoothie.
