Mexican dungeions Tourists who turn their vacations into a nonstop happy hour, wear out their welcome very fast. They also suffer the vast majority of accidents, arguments, misunderstandings and minor unpleasantries.
Crooks find gringo party animals to be particularly easy pickings.
Officials I've talked to say it's no coincidence that tipsy tourists attract muggers, scam artists and thieves. One of the reasons I no longer drink is that I finally made the connection between trouble and tequila. Whenever a situation gets uncomfortable, weird or alarming, don't hesitate to leave. This is especially true when drinking is involved. If you do drink while visiting Mexico, keep it very moderate.
