I heard that boaters drink Heinekin in the Carribean because it is the only beer that is not licenced out and produced locally, it is all sent from Holland and so should be 'safe' to drink.

Actually, carbonated beverages and beer are generally okay. It's mainly the water and raw/cold foods to watch out for.
I just came from the travel clinic. I received my Hepatitis A vaccine, so I'm good to go. I consulted with the doctor there about Cuba. He said besides Hep A, I should be using deet to avoid malaria, and he gave me a 'scrip for antibiotics in case I get diarrhea with fever. Other than than, I can use bismuth or Imodium.
So now that I've got all the gross stuff covered, I can concentrate on enjoying my trip.
