The laws regarding drinking & driving in Mexico are no much different than the U.S. One difference is that the drinking age in Mexico is 18 years old. It is Illegal to drive while intoxicated or to have open containers in the car. It is very expensive to get a DUI ticket in the U.S., it can also be in Mexico. Your Mexican insurance is void if you have been drinking & have an accident. If there are injuries and complications, you have just enter the Mexican legal system. Mexico has it's own set of laws. You are guilty until proven innocent. Quite the opposite from the U.S.
So we suggest you do your drinking at the house or pool side and DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE. Use the designated
driver method of safe driving as used in the States. Make your vacation one with good memories.
Yes and no. Mexico has a deposit requirement on most of most all the bottles of beer, however there are some smaller bottles that say "no returno" meaning no deposit required). When you do pay a deposit, you MUST save & have your receipt to get your deposit back. So when your guest are drinking those Mexican beers, don't throw away your empties. Beer is sold in singles, 6 & 8 packs and boxes of 20. Beer is also sold in cans.
Don't forget to purchase the limes. Drink Responsibility and don't drive drunk! Mexico has strict drinking laws, as stated above. If your drinking & driving and get into an accident, your insurance does not cover you. Think, be responsible and have a fun vacation!
Yes you can bring alcohol from the U.S. You are allowed to bring in 3 liters of alcohol and an additional 2 liters if you have another adult passenger (total of 2 adults). When you get to the border, there is a store called U.T.E.A. They sell top shelf alcohol, perfume, cigarettes and other items at duty free (discounted).
You are allowed to bring back 1 liter per person over 21 years old (every 30 days), you must declare all alcohol at the border. If you have more than your limit, they will dispose of the excess. If you re-enter the U.S. and you don't have any alcohol with you, you may purchase your limit in the U.T.E.A. store and cross over into Mexico & re-enter the U.S. (there is a foot walking re-entry path).
