Q -

133 bottles? - no problem for a couple of (exceptional) Mexicans I've known, although it might take more than one day. The article did mention a "pre-release" for Passover, as well as the main distribution for Cinco de Maya.

Not to suggest a generalization, but few of the Mexicans I've known have seemed to ever drink alone - although they might do it hidden at home. "Community activities" seem more common than for some other cultures, and sharing is expected(?). It probably can't be assumed that everybody at the Cinco de Maya party would need the kosher stuff, but everybody would probably help.

I've had fewer contacts with "kosher" jews, but most of the ones I've known gave little evidence of drinking at all. They may also have been "exceptional." (?)
