In the brewing process, the wort (water with grains and hops in it) is boiled (heat pasturized), which kills off the bacteria. Essentially, all the water used in the process is purified. Likewise, you can drink the purified bottled water in Mexico. We just take it for granted that tap water is safe to drink, but in most of the world, that is not the case.

Most large-scale commercially bottled beer in North America is pasteurized, which means any bugs in the water involved are killed.

Also, most beer preparation involves boiling the water, which will kill the aforementioned bacteria that give you diarrhea.

The water they use to produce beer has been distilled and is part of the fermentation process that creates alchohol so it was boiled to begin with. AThe water in most hotels and resurants is safe to drink.
