A lot of what you hear is pure paranoia from folks who may have had one bad experience or who have heard "stories" about it.

We also have guys who refuse to leave their hotel rooms on long overnights for fear of the unknown. Like I said... Mexico is probably some of the best overnights I've had... I've gotten to experience Culture, Markets, Pyramids, History, Beautiful Cathedrals, Fantastic Dining, and wonderful people... But you have to be willing to take a few steps outside your room.

Speaking of rooms... Mexico Hotels are typically nicer than a lot of the stateside hotels.

I brushed my teeth with bottled water while I was deployed in Southwest Asia a few years ago. I am in the Air Force, by the way. We were told not to use the tap water for brushing our teeth. LOL
