kjh1028 Posted August 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Has anyone had any ill effects from frozen marguritas or eating the ice in your drinks, while in Cozumel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeyroastedmelnut Posted August 16, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2010 From what I hear/read, most of the places use purified water for their drinks and cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candacec Posted August 16, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Short answer, yes. Either order on the rocks and drink really fast before the ice melts :) Or just stick to drinks that come in a can or bottle. They all tell you they use 'purified water'. I would only believe that from the larger chain restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler353 Posted August 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have been going to Cozumel for over 40 years and never had any problems with eating or drinking anything there. Eat, drink, get drunk, fall down and have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeyroastedmelnut Posted August 16, 2010 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Yes, got sick from eating food from street vendors!! EARL I wouldn't trust the food from a street vendor in the States, let alone another country with looser health inspection standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevesan Posted August 20, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I have been going to Cozumel for over 40 years and never had any problems with eating or drinking anything there. Eat, drink, get drunk, fall down and have a great time. Ditto! The Yucatan (including Cozumel) geologic structure is limestone which effectively filters the water. Mexico city, however, is a whole nuther issue. Montezuma attacked me while on the flight home.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volive Posted August 20, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I've had it... :( NOT FUN... But it was my own fault, we stayed at a condo that year and I got up in the middle of the night thirsty and drank from the faucet instead of the water bottle supplied. BIG MISTAKE! I've been back 4 times with no problems and I always eat at big restaurants and local restaurants with no problems... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
