“We thought we were, you know, safe in a 5-star gated resort...”

The question is, why? Why would anyone think that?

That’s going to have an effect on business I would guess.

I guess the water isn’t the only thing unsafe in Mexico to drink.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_toxicity

The initial symptoms of methanol intoxication include central nervous system depression, headache, dizziness, nausea, lack of coordination, and confusion. Sufficiently large doses cause unconsciousness and death. The initial symptoms of methanol exposure are usually less severe than the symptoms from the ingestion of a similar quantity of ethanol. Once the initial symptoms have passed, a second set of symptoms arises, from 10 to as many as 30 hours after the initial exposure, that may include blurring or complete loss of vision, acidosis, and putaminal hemorrhages, an uncommon but serious complication. These symptoms result from the accumulation of toxic levels of formate in the blood, and may progress to death by respiratory failure. Physical examination may show tachypnea, and ophthalmologic examination may show dilated pupils with hyperemia of the optic disc and retinal edema.

Assuming you are crazy enough to vacation in Mexico at this time at all, it sounds like you should only order beer and open the beer at your table.

Sounds like their using “tax free alcohols” that are commonly denatured with with a handful of chemicals - methanol being one of them.
