Yeah, the margarita machines in all the jewelry stores is a nice touch….lol Also, every shop you pass on the strip someone is inviting you in for a free shot of tequila. Hell, you buy a bottle of beer in a store and they automatically give you a plastic cup to take it with you on the street.

It is still tacky and very childish, plus not all jewely stores have Margarita machines, in fact most do not. I guess if you want to be part of "girls gone wild" then what you say is acceptable.

Tacky and very childish to drink on the street? Wow, I must be out of the loop. I just answered the above posters question. No one asked who cared if someone drank on the street.

you must have never been to New Orleans. In New Orleans you can walk down the street with a drink and jsut about everywhere in the FQ you can get a drink. I wouldn't pick "tacky" or "childish" as neagtive words to describe it. Most toursit places make a good chunk of their profits from alcho.

ok, you got me there; I think it was more the way the responder said it that got to me. BTW, we will be going to NOLA for the first time in November, I might be the old gal you see walking in the French quarters with a glass of wine in my hand. I am not childish (well some would disagree) but I might decide to be tacky.....

In response to the original question, 18 is the legal limit, but it's almost never enforced. They don't have the nosy busybodies and neo-prohibitionary movements in the Caribbean that we have in the US and that muslim-dominated countries have.

 

...odd pair, that.

 

In response to what is acceptable in other cultures, drinking -- and drinking in public -- is very acceptable everywhere [except the aforementioned neo-prohibitionary US and muslim-dominated countries], and so what we have come to look at as childish or as a sign that we are morally weak or an alcoholic is barely even noticed almost anywhere else on the planet.

 

That said, most of the rest of the world does not cotton to binge drinking or public drunkenness -- both of which are mostly American customs [due in no small part to the paranoiac and faux-moralistic posturings by the neo-prohibitionists in the US].

I'm with you, enjoy your cruise!

okay--put me down as one of the childish and tacky folks who cruise. The answer to the OP question is that they don't enforce the drinking age in Cozumel. It may be 18, but it is not enforced. They sell drinks and you can walk down the street with them. You can get shots of Tequilla in jewlery stores; in fact they encourage it. We had a blast shopping and wandering around after stopping at.....you guessed it....Carlos and Charlies! Have a great time. It would not be advised to get stinking drunk at any port of call....one of our cruises during spring break a few years ago before we stopped at Cozumel the Captain made the announcement that they had left 20+ passengers the previous week who did not make it back to the ship on time. Guess they were having too good of a time being childish and tacky!
