    We were drinking beer and driving last May with no problem, but we didn't go out and draw attention either, I did manage to rear end our friends cart, got to watch out in the shopping areas, alot of people walking the streets. Not a good mix with a buzz going on, don't want to end up in a Mexician Jail. I heard the really LIKE tourist in their jails, fresh meat.

    We drove all over the island, beers in hand, going bar hopping last May and had no problems. Although, I don't recall seeing a single cop. When we went back in October we heard several people saying that the policia has started cracking down. I about shit myself because I didn't know it was illegal. I have no Desire to see the inside of a Mexican jail. Between the drive-thru liquor stores and all the other people we saw doing it we figured it was copacetic. I guess not. Too bad because we had a blast and were planning to do it again with a big group this year. It doesn't sound like much fun if you have to stay sober. If that is the case, I'll be in the sexy pool if anyone needs me.

    We are already married, so does that mean we are safe:icon_cool:

    I will be sure to drink and drive responsibly. Maybe use my mug instead of drinking out of a bottle.

    That was our last trip, and it never occurred to us that it could be a problem. Kind of like drinking on Bourbon Street.

    Is there a date the group is planning on going over this year? I figured this might be something on a day we needed a bit of a break from the sexy pool and take it a bit easier. But I easily give in to peer pressure, and I am sure would have more fun with a group.

    No hard date set yet but the 6th and 8th seem to be the front runners. We need research as to the status of the drinking and carting situation over there.

    From what I have been able to glean from the internet, the police started a crackdown on unregistered and unsafe carts by setting up checkpoints last June. They also nailed a few people for open container and/or being drunk. I can't find anything since then so I don't know if the practice is still going on or if they made their point to cart rental operators. I'm still digging on this topic. I'll post when I find out more.

    OK so you will then have to let me know how it was, and give me the hook-up on the best stops to go. And by "give me the hook-up", I mean please tell Elyse, because I have a pretty hard time remembering things once I get to the resort. (must be the pool water or something).

    Probably a good time to go back to the old driving in mexico trick of hiding your real money and having your easily found shakedown bribe money kept separate.
