We started in Mexico - had lunch at the restaurant inside the pavilion and got a margarita there. Then we made our way around and had a dinner reservation in Japan and got a drink there. Those were the only two meals we had. At each country, we ordered a water with our drink, so we stayed pretty hydrated. There are plenty of places in each country to get just a drink without getting a full meal. I will say that we did mix alcohol - we drank beer, tequila, sake, wine, and mixed drinks. But it also took us about 9 hours - we started with lunch in Mexico around 12pm and had our last drink (a beer in Canada) while watching the 9pm Illuminations. 11 drinks in 9 hours plus plenty of water made it pretty reasonable for us to do!
