That said, I have a question. I see countless posts that seem to put drinking beer as one of the major factors in trips down south - morning, afternoon, evening, driving, not driving, none of these variables seem to make a difference.

Am I wrong, or are the people on this board just a bunch of folks staggering around the peninsula, putting lives at danger on the roads, and (indeed) going south to be able to do things that would put them in jail north of the border.

Just wondering.


Good post---not to say that we don´t enjoy beer and or other drinks, but so often the emphasis reported here is on drinking.

I do, however, often think that it is the emphasis, not necessarily the reality. IMHO, I guess is somehow sounds ¨cool¨ to sound like a lush. Guess we just arn´t cool. :lol::lol:

I would wager that drinking increases more than a little, once you retire here. I have seen it happen over and over.

All the extra free time, getting together with friends more than you did back home, days spent fishing, all seem to lead to an increase in sucking up a few.

Not casting stones, just an observation.

You mean there's life other than lifting a few? OH MY GAW! My poor alcohol addled brain couldn't comprehend that! Really, a lot of people are on vacation when they are in Baja and do spend more time imbibing than those of you who may live there. And rest assured, anyone who has driven Highway One knows you don't pop the top until you stop. I think that most of the nomads on this board are fairly wide open to a variety of experiences among which the discussion of Mexican beer and Tequila tasting is as important as where the best fish tacos are. It's part of Baja life and the more you know the better informed you are.:coolup::coolup::coolup:
