Thanks Gypsy Jan,
CRREAD was the group that that young man was affiliated with. I knew I'd recognize it if I saw it.

Not that cheap


Great thread, but that comment about alcohol being plentiful and cheap is only half-true anymore from what I've seen. -- Leaving beer out, I guess.

Since tequila became so popular and the price shot up I pretty much stopped drinking it. Rum's an acceptable (nothing more) substitute, but the prices I just saw for rum in Mexicali were nothing to write home about. Kahlua's the only thing that I see a real price difference compared to the states. Fortunately, I like Black Russians, but then vodka's no big bargain because it's not indigenous.

I don't plan to veg out in Baja with a bottle in my hand, but the thought of not liking to hike those canyons anymore scares me. I'm going to start a new thread on that, though.

Please don't Arthur.

This is a very "sore" subject for many of us on here!

Just a comment on the question ?What comes first, Baja or alcoholism?? I don't think one follows the other or vice versa. I've been retired since 1995, been going to Baja since the '60s, and don't drink alcohol anymore now than I did before I retired. Possibly even less.

(But, BajaNomad, are those Google? ads at the top of this thread automatic? I've noticed how the ads often follow the subject of the thread. Clever.)
