Mexico prefers its alcoholic beverages. Is it a problem?

While walking my dog ​​today, I was trapped behind a cigarette smoking for a boy. Surprising me, its scent mainly hit my nostalgia buttons. How long have I been a cigarette smell?

I don’t smoke, or let me say I am not always. I did not admire the smell of cigarette smoking, and I was a donkey about it, and I shaken my hand dramatically to burn the smoke of anyone near me. I get a headache too much of it, and I hated how the stench stuck in my clothes.

But now, suddenly, no one smokes. Once Mexico basically made cigarettes illegal everywhereThat is. Some seats, of course, set Ashrees if they are outside. But often, it is rare in the wires now to find the smoker.

I refer to this because when I was growing in the 80s and 90s, it seemed almost impossible to beat nicotine intoxication. Still, we are here: The smell of cigarettes now makes it thinking about walking around Wao, Texas, Fair Grounds.

Mexico seemed to abandon cigarettes, thinking of me very much. Do other “diseases” meet the same rule soon?

I think of alcohol, especially if a list is a list, includes processed food. In fact, as a barrier, Mexico is highly imposed on Tax on alcohol, junk food and petrol.

I think I get it. Although the tax on petrol is already frustrating, none of those things are good for us. However, for a country that is not the best in collecting taxes historically, this is a great way to collect some substantial funds.

In that sense, the line on alcohol is a wonderful idea. Why? Because people are not going to stop drinking it. Cha-Singh!

If you have spent any time here in Mexico, you will know what you want for a Mexican dinner. In general, alcohol is a large part of that party. It is also common to find alcohol at baby banquet – not always, for children who always attend, not for children.

In my own country, alcohol is slightly different, in Mexico, which is simply a normal part of life. The shop in each small corner sells a classification Gagamas (32 ounces of bottles beer), and it is normal to drink with one’s lunch or dinner. In fact, it is normal to drink a little alcohol a week.

Is this a problem?

Like everything in life, how big a problem is, usually in the eye of the viewer. With the eyes of most people here, no, alcohol is not a big problem.

I have a few acquaintances to whom it will be. A good friend of mine, for example, insists that she cannot drink. “I am well -worst cup“I don’t know how I translate this. I don’t know that” I am really a bad drink, “but this means that she is militant and aggressive with alcohol. At least, I think, she knows about her, so she is away.

Another familiar of mine has a problem with alcohol, but not ready to admit it. I first noticed that when this is the most shyly shyly shyly shyly shyly shyly shy -speaking at 8 am at 8 am at my child’s school. Once I sat next to him, I felt why: the smell of alcohol was all over him!

Can this person find out what kind of treatment plan he wants? After all, even for Mexico, it is very early to start 8 am. From time to time I have seen the drinkers anonymous. Hey – I may have a full treatment network that I don’t know!

But I don’t think I am.

Another point in favor of alcohol in Mexico: in many ways, this is a matter of national pride. Bulk From the pre -period of Hispanic period. Techila Is known all over the world for its Mexican appearance, increasingly, Messel. Chodol A type of Mescal made on both sides of the Mexico-Texas border. I tried the types on both sides and wanted to make a Mexican one.

Wine In the country, in the Bajio region, and in the north of Wale de Quadalup. Of course, Mexico is the most consumer alcohol beer. Although most people are familiar with big business brands, there is also a growing craftsman in the country. From the small liquor manufacturers to the grocery store you can find in the grocery store, all the most installed brands offer a large variety of Mexican languages.

So what does this mean? Here is a lot of alcohol produced. It is also bounded with national identity and culture. Whether or not people meet the door to be considered drunk is almost inappropriate. Besides, if everyone is a little tips, it is difficult to get angry with the most tips.

At least, Mexico makes a good effort to get rid of drunk drivers off the road, which is a worse problem than someone is disgusting. Like the Ieps line mentioned above, This is a great way to collect government funds through penalties and fees to get someone’s car “coren”.

So, does Mexico have an alcohol issue? Just as people here want to drink, I give my answer a temporary “no”. The heck may be a part of the reason why people are very friendly and intelligent! Of course, if you don’t like to be around drinking people – or you can’t – this is not the place for you.

We can never predict what happens. Alcohol falls positively. The government will decide that this is sufficient and is intense in the public permitting drinking. Perhaps now growing up will think that only the elderly will do about drinking alcohol – my child is sure.

But for now, we are very free to sit and enjoy when a beer feels like it. ¡Salut!
