Moderator cut: discussing moderation 664 posts, read 1,302,110 times I fail to see how a policy stemming from observing a religious day of the week for many Americans is a "hillbilly" issue. There are a number of places you can't buy alcohol on Sunday. That said, I do think it's a relatively pointless policy that they might as well get rid of. Of course... you could do what I do and just make sure you pick it up on Saturday . (Or if you're desperate/last-minute, run up to Macadoodle's.) 1,466 posts, read 3,396,770 times 62,000 posts, read 67,827,032 times wow, you haven't been around the country much: Texas you can't buy it til after 12 pm, NM had no booze sold period on Sundays til a few years ago and most of the south still has the Blue law, no booze period on Sundays.

It has nothing to do with hillies. When we first moved to Texas you couldn't buy a drink on sundays in some towns and in others you could buy booze anywhere period. We left a mid sized city in Texas (the burbs of Dallas I will add) 6 years ago. No liquor was sold in that city period. They have since, changed the laws, you can buy wine but not on Sundays. You need to adjust and not think of this as a hillbilly law. In fact I have to question why you feel this way? Do you live in Ar or all you just stirring up the pot? For some reason I am getting the idea you live in the Seattle area, I wonder where I get this? Originally Posted by adysmom Moderator cut: deleted comment Read my comment more closely. This policy makes you _look like_ hillbillies; I'm quite aware that the area's reality does not match the area's stereotype. Re "it's like that in other places". Well, yes, it is, and that fact doesn't really need to be pointed out. It's also not like that in most sophisticated, wealthy, desirable places.

It's the area that needs to adjust, to what it's become and to what it aspires to be. Nmnita: No I don't live here, but I do travel here quite often for work and for family. I spend a good three months out of the year here. Originally Posted by thewizard16 you have that right, so does Dr Foosball. It is a stupid and outdated law, which I have a feeling will change in the next 5 to 10 years, but to refer to people in NWA as hillbillies is not only an insult but shows a very narrow mind and no knowledge of the region.

Here is your guide to where to buy alcohol in Playa Del Carmen. At the bottom of this article is a interactive map. We included some OXXO convenience stores on the map but there are many more available, we just have the most popular one. For the most part people buy wine, alcohol and beer in the large supermarkets. Mega and Walmart are the two most popular in the downtown area. Soriana and Chedraui are also decent for buying what you need, they are just more accessible with a car. Sams club also sells alcohol at the south end of town. If you had to choose between Mega or Walmart, Walmart tends to be cheaper for wine and some alcohol. Convenience stores like OXXO also sell beer and limited amounts of alcohol although prices for alcohol are often more. You will be happy to know that wine has increased in popularity in Mexico. We get a lot of Spanish, Chilean, and Argentinean wines imported and a good representation of Mexican wines. Try to avoid buying wine at corner stores (very local ones with no air conditioning), not only are the prices more, wine is often stored incorrectly with the heat and sometimes are in sunlight.

This effects the quality greatly and a decent bottle can become undrinkable. If you are looking for some inexpensive wines then check out our article on 5 wines you can buy in Mexico for under $10USD. If you are looking for more selection or something more specific, there are several stores you should check out that are all in the downtown area. Fun fact: Legal age for drinking is 18 Un-fun fact: No drinking allow on the street, that means no walking on 5th Avenue with beer in hand. If you are looking for beer, there are little “Cervifrio” stores all over Playa Del Carmen that specialize in just beer and snacks. They have ice usually as well. The store in the photo is located on 30th Avenue and 22th Street. There is a wide selection of Mexican beers for you beer aficionados. Most everyone knows Corona, Tecate, Sol, and Dos Equis but there are many other Mexican beers to try. Indio, Pacifico, Victoria, Montejo, Leon, Bohemia, Modelo, and Superior are all beers that can be found in Playa.

Beers can also be found in limited quantities in convenience stores and super markets. If you want to try even more beers make sure you visit Club De Cerveza on 5th Avenue. This bar has the largest selection of beers to try and many Mexican craft beers. They also have a food menu to accompany the beers. The new Carmen Beer Company is also a must stop for beer lovers. They have their own brewery right here in Playa Del Carmen! Here is a great service here in Playa Del Carmen. If you don’t have time or do not want to go shopping, they will do it for you.

Many of our readers really like this shopping service which also shops for alcohol.Mezcal is the new trendy alcohol made from the maguey plant, a form of agave. Even though this product has been around for hundreds of years, it is gaining in popularity. It is related to tequila in the sense tequila is a form or mezcal.

Mezcal for a long time has been considered the cheaper and lower liquor (country cousin of tequila if you will) but now has emerged as a artisan spirit with cool labeling and many restaurants featuring them. In Mexico, mezcal is drunk in shots and also cocktails. The best Mezcal however is just sipped. Mezcal has a smoky flavor unlike tequila. A popular way to drink mezcal is in a shot accompanied with sliced oranges sprinkled with “sal de gusano“, literally worm salt, which is a mixture of ground fried larvae, ground chili peppers, and salt. The best place to buy Mezcal is in La Europea in Quinta Alegria Mall on 5th Avenue. You can also find a nice artisanal store to buy some bottles in the La Memorable market on 1st Avenue and 26th Street. This is the market by the entrance to the Hyatt. One great Mexican restaurant and bar to try mezcal in is La Perla Pixan Cuisine and Mezcal Store. This Mexican restaurant stays true to regional cuisine and prepares drinks with local liquors like mezcal.

Of course if you are in the Mayan Riviera, you should try a local liquor called Xtabentún. Most tourist overlook this local liquor. It has an anise flavor to it and is made from honey and herbs. It originates right here in the Yucatan. The liquor is usually served cold or poured over ice. It has a yellowish hue and a fairly strong flavor. Some restaurants in the Yucatan add shots of Xtabentún to coffee. You will see this at tourist gift shops on 5th Avenue and prices are usually pretty good. A small bottle can be around 90 pesos and a large one 140 pesos. Besides 5th Avenue tourist shops you can also find this in the grocery stores and La Europea. Remember hours for buying alcohol are different depending on the type of store or outlet. Stores on 5th Avenue will close up earlier then grocery stores. Convenience stores have longer hours then grocery stores. Cerifrios (beer distributors) are open most of the day and late at night. Sundays have shorter hours for liquor sales.

And if you happened to want to buy liquor around an election, you are out of luck, sales are closed. So in general buy between 10am-and 5pm and you will be safe. Stores will be open later but just make sure you get it when you want to so you are not out at a bar when you want to be on your deck drinking. The La Europea Store in Quinta Alegria is open Mon.-Sat. 11am-10pm Sun. 10am.-9pm. This store has the longest hours of any place that sells alcohol. Important note: Dehydration can change your tolerance for alcohol. The climate here is very different to some places you might be familiar with. The heat, sun, walking around, and change in diet and pattern of daily activity can have a big effect on you. Make sure you hydrate well. Also take care walking at night if you have had a little too much to drink. You can read more about this in our safety article.
