> beer

well, I'm more of a white wine kind of guy. you got white wine out there in CA?
but I'll drink beer if that's all you got. you got limes to put in it?

and yes, you should be hitting the continue button.

psst.. mav.. consider (speaking of hideous debaucheries), this may be someone who, when he does drink beer, drinks mass-produced USn beer.

In Mexico it's a good idea. Lime juice is antibacterial. I think I'd rather get the bacteria myself...

A few decent Mexican beers are Bohemia, Negro Modelo and De Leon. I wouldn't want to get any lime juice in them, but if you are going to drink Corona or Tecate you deserve the limes

I never had a beer served me with lime in Mexico.

Negro is Anheuser.

Corona rhymes with miss.

I saw it often enough in the ten years I lived there. Negro Modelo was bought out by Anheuser Bush??? That's NAFTA for you, I guess.

tsu: Don't give up on the U.S. Many of our craft brews that have emerged during the past few decades are excellent. Eg, try Sam Adms and Lagunistas

The rest, though, I'd have to agree, rank as pedestrian
