For the Love of God, Don't Get Drunk
Feel free to enjoy yourself and indulge a little bit, but don't get too crazy. You'll be
tempted to drink a lot in Mexico -- beers on the beach, in the street, at dinner, in the
hostel, maybe even a michelada or cielo rojo with breakfast to kill your hangover.
But getting so drunk that you aren't aware of what's going on, can't remember how
you got home, or what you did is a bad idea -- a very, very bad idea. The best way
to stay safe is to stay alert and aware of where you are and what's going on around
you. So go ahead and have a few, but not so many that you become a sloppy, easy
target. Cool?
Avoid the Police
Whenever possible. Unfortunately, Mexican police are not always on your side and
you should do your best to mind your Ps and Qs so that you don't have a run-in with them. If you have a serious issue, we recommend talking to your hostel or hotel staff
or someone you trust about it first, then contacting the nearest embassy for advice
on how to proceed if necessary.
