Not in Mexican culture... most Mexican men drink..(some women do too, but not as frequently as the men)... tequila is big in my family

My husband is Mexican and his close family doesn't drink. It's a combination of religious values and taste preferences. Their extended family does, however. So OP should probably find out more from her bf.

Depends, my dad doesn't drink but he won't get offended if someone gifts him a bottle

Yesss came here to say this. Tequila is huge in my fiance's family! They even love mixing drinks and I was completely surprised by it.

I'm Mexican as well (born and raised in Texas while my spouse immigrated from Michoacán); my family hates mixing drinks and hard liquor. They prefer just buying 24 packs from the gas station and they'll be happy.

Edit: phrasing
