It's from drinking Mexican water, not spicy food, Woman.

Lots of gringos who don't drink the water get it, then whine that a drop of water must have got on the little piece of shredded lettuce in that thingy they ate with all the habaneros and chipotle sauce after they did ten tequila shots to try to prove their manhood.

The water is fine, just don't be a dumbass and drink it out of the faucet.
Same thing than when you drink from a river, you dring from the upstream or the downstream? talking cowboy term so we can communicate.

Sloww is a real cowboy. He always takes care of his horse first.

How is diarrhea incompatible with manhood ? Heck, it should be an initiation rite to manhood !

As long as they leave their money down here, their crap up there, and don't get ahead of me at the border crossing, they can do whatever they want.

(can't wait for the end of pinche turista season)

If you can't drink from the faucet, the water is not fine.

I don't drink the water, but I eat the habañeros. I've never had a problem, except the beer not hitting my lips fast enough.

Spoken like a true gringo.

San Diego (and most southern California) tapwater has calcium salts and is chlorinated a bit less than your average well-maintained swimming pool. Yep, I'll have tapwater.

Down here, there's a billion bottled water places where you can bring your own 5 gallon jugs and get them cleaned and refilled with softened RO water that actually tastes good and has far less crap in it than US (AWWA standards) tapwater. Cost is 4.5-7 pesos per 5 gallons (roughly 45-70 cents).

There are areas of Mexico where tapwater is naturally good (wells located in sandstone or limestone aquifer areas, so naturally filtered), so people don't bother with bottled water that much, despite how cheap it is.

Most of the country, bottled water is so cheap and quality so much better than any mass treatment of piped water, that people wouldn't drink the tapwater no matter what utility scale treatment it was given.

It's entertaining to hear all the pinche turista myths - about having to brush your teeth in beer (just drink it, nobody here is counting ), how you can't wash your hands in tapwater, make sure you don't get any in your mouth when you shower, blah blah blah.

I know most people only know Caesar from the casinos and the salad...

Ceaser Chavez? The Mexican Labor Union Leader or the boxer?

When I'm in Mexico the only water I drink is Mexican Water (a.k.a. Tequila)! No revenge yet...

[Spiffor]

Last time I was in Mexico, the hotel invited everybody not to brush teeth with tap water... I didn't follow the advice, yet I'm not dead (I can't even remind having a turista).

How come ?

Mexican water is aguardiente.(alcoholized)
and thats nasty!!!
