I don't mind saying that I am on the internet from 6:30 in the morning until about 1PM. Without the internet, I would have had to move back to the old country. I was really hit hard by the recession. The Internet has allowed me to continue the business I had back in the States before I came to Mexico. People don't know your in Mexico unless you tell them. I would tell you what I do, but I don't want anybody else trying to copy me and then losing all their change when they fail. No need to send me any Whiskey. Offering Whiskey will get the attention of 96.8% of the expats living here in Mexico, especially around the 23rd of the month when the liquor money runs kind of low. That's all the research you need to make an accurate evaluation. 80% of the cost of hard liquor sales of local brands, goes to taxes in one form or another. The US thinks there are 1 million US citizens living in Mexico(according the the State Department website). Let's say its 250,000. That's nearly 250,000 Liters a day purchased by the American Community. That's way over a Million dollars a day in taxes. And that doesn't even count the cross border sales from American day tourists. If we really wanted to flex our strength, we would just stop buying Liquor and the Gov would soon feel the pinch. Yeah, that's going to happen.LOL.
