Depends on where in Baja. I've drunk lots of water in Baja and it's
never bothered me.  What does amaze me is to see people buy bottled
water and soft drinks and then get a glass of ice to pour the drinks
over. :-)  So much for not drinking the water!!

who has been plenty of places in the USA he wouldn't drink the water

I see no mention of safety and insurance. If you get in a car
accident, you could be jailed until they determine who's at fault.
There are bandits and you may have to bribe the police. I think you
have to be wise about where you camp.

I've been there once and had a good time. My mother found it
depressing because there are starving dogs. I fed a starving dog some
milk. One american said I shouldn't feed them, but I found it hard not
to show some compassion.

There is some good surfing down there.
