Northwest New Mexico

Don't, at least not within Navajo Nation; possession, sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages are illegal within reservation boundaries. Farmington population about 40,000 is outside the reservation and is large enough to have rudimentary night life e.g. Sun Ray Park and Casino at the racetrack, but there is some hostility to bar-hopping because of the social problems that result from alcoholic members of Navajo Nation and redneck townsfolk within the border town. This concern may sound overblown to visitors from outside the region, but it is not. This simply is not a good place for drinking.
