How much
 
Never been 2 Cancun. How much a case of US beer? Very important!!

schmerl Feb 22nd, 2008 04:25 PM

Why would you want US beer when there are so many good Mexican beers????????

KVR Feb 22nd, 2008 04:27 PM

I agree. When in Rome............

try posting this on the latin american board.

2 expensive, I guess you'll have to stay home.

txgirlinbda Feb 24th, 2008 06:05 AM

If you can afford the plane ticket, you can afford beer. And drink the Mexican stuff- it's cheaper.

joe999 Feb 25th, 2008 02:48 PM

Yes I can afford a ticket 2 Cancun. Why should that matter? Can not be any more expensive than the beer in GC. Around 35CI for Bud. That's around 44US for those who can't afford a ticket 2 GC. And what does Rome have 2 do with Cancun? Sorry for the posting!!

It's an old saying "when in Rome, do as the Romans." When in Mexico drink the Mexican beer.

I really don't know the price of American beer in Mexico. We always go AI and drink what the hotel provides which is Mexican beer. Most people want to drink the National beer and not the American stuff, which they can get at home.

There is a Wal-Mart if you insist on buying American.

Joe asked a clear question, and all he got was extraneous comments. Sorry, joe, but that happens all the time on Fodors. ((*))

Ask a stupid question and you get stupid answers.

jiffer111 Feb 26th, 2008 01:02 PM

I do not remember the exact price but I think it was about the same price of what I would pay at home.

joe999 Feb 27th, 2008 09:30 AM

Thanx Jed, but I guess it it my fault that I like Bud products. No s--t when in Rome do as the Romans.

EJC Feb 27th, 2008 10:09 AM

Joe, I feel you pain. The last time I was in GC,beer was $40 per case. I knew this b4 I left so I bought my beer at home and checked it on the plane as baggage. As long as it''s not over 50lbs; no problem and no charge. I duct taped 2 cases together, which is about 40lbs..
ps...I LOVE BEER!!!!!

joe999 Feb 27th, 2008 11:14 AM

Well thier is someone out there on my side. I always take 2 cases with me too GC also. And have 2 buy 3 or 4 at Fosters or Blackbeards fot the rest of my stay. Now with US air charging $25 per bag after first check in. Guess will buy on island for entire stay. Sad 2 say!! Thanx EJC

EJC Feb 27th, 2008 11:31 AM

Joe, How many people in your party? You do know they allow 2 bags per person, right?

joe999 Feb 27th, 2008 11:48 AM

As of May 5th. US AIr will charge $25 after the first bag check-in. That what was reported on GMA this morning. I guess they are tyring 2 make up the cost of fuel. Anyway, time for another Bud Light!!!

EJC Feb 27th, 2008 12:03 PM

That SUCKS!!!!! I'll join you, but I have Miller on-tap.

Jed Feb 27th, 2008 12:05 PM

<Ask a stupid question and you get stupid answers.>

A perfect example of the latter. ((*))

EJC Feb 27th, 2008 12:41 PM

Jed, Are you bashing?

joe999 Feb 27th, 2008 12:50 PM

Bashing? Not me just trying 2 get along!!
