Alcoholic beverage fans in Mexico are familiar with Margarita beverage dishes that give a unique taste, even they can choose other alcohol creations that are also worth a try, such as Paloma, Pulque, Michelada, Tejuino and Spiked Horchata.

There is a case that became the latest example, US tourists who became victims of alcohol drinks in Mexico last occurred in last January. A 20-year-old tourist died from drowning in a Playa del Carmen resort pool after drinking a glass of alcohol beverages.
