It is against Mexican law to be drunk in public . Border Mexican cities have become increasingly impatient with young and older adults bar-hoppers who drink to get drunk, get involved in fights, relieve themselves on streets, drive while under the influence, and in general are a nuisance. Simple public drunkenness can result in a jail visit for one or two days plus a fine. If other charges are filed resulting from the episode, stiffer sentences can and will be imposed. Failure to pay hotel bills or for other services provided can bring fraud charges against the offender under Mexican law.
Conviction can bring stiff sentences and fines.
