How Tequila Works...

Bad tequila, like Jose Cuervo is the devil's drink and will cause you to do things you never would at any other time.


Good tequila like Don Julio 1942 is smooth, tasty, mellow, hangover free, and will make you sit back and go "Duuuuuuuuuude."
 
I once had a young man on one of my crews that was on work release and needed some paper work filled out to work on the weekend. I asked how he got it trouble. He said he wasn't really sure, he started drinking tequila with a couple friends and woke up in jail wearing an "I love me jacket"
 
I remember a tequila night at a bar in Detroit back in the 70's.It was a 50 cents a shot special I was washing it down with Jack on the rocks.OK I do t really remember it I was told what I did.and one of the many stupid things I did that night was walk up to the bouncer and tell him I think I can take you.In my defense I was 21 and worked the door there.I was young
and strong but he was a Detroit cop who helped teach self defense tactics at the police academy.I didn't remember but my friends said it was funny how quick he kicked my drunk butt.The hangover was terrible also.I can not even look at a bottle of tequila to this day.
 
One night in college my roomate who had the top bunk got himself plastered on Mezcal. As he recounted the meaning of the universe and how he had achieved total elightenment, he exploded.

After a long shower that moment, I slept in a recliner in the lounge, and the next morning obtained a new room, roomate, wardrobe, text books.

Never really had a taste for the stuff afterwards (will be 41 years ago this year).
 
This pretty much describes my tequila drinking in my younger days. Then stayed away from it for years but do enjoy a good margarita. 1800 tequila is my choice.

Tequila......

Tequila, especially mezcal make me feel different than anything I ever drank. I didn't even eat the worm.

Had a bottle, gave half of it away.

I DO love nasty, salty, bug juice Marguaritas though. Not that frozen dessert stuff people drink. I can't believe that Ernest Hemingway drank those things. They are for girls.:)

Tequila will land you in jail faster than any drink available to mortal man.

Which reminds me, if you drink, do it reasonably. I just appeared at a parole hearing for a pal who has served 13 out of 30 years. It ain't what he did that I'm concerned about at this point. He did it while drinking and lost his head. Matter of fact, he lost a lot more than that. Not a good road to go down.

More than Jack???? Pu-lease. I am growing tired of all this focus on Mexico. America First! Sour Mash for the patriotic win.

I know I haven’t felt that awesome burn as JD goes down since 11/9/2007. Not that I think about it or miss it at all.
 
I was stationed at Camp Pendleton in 1969. A three day liberty could easily prompt a trip to Tiajana, which was a very bawdy town in those days. I did on one such adventure proabaly drink a bottle of the stuff in one night. At least that is what my buddies told me. I can only remember the early stage of the the night. I was stationed there after being released from the SanDiego Naval Hospital after some surgery to repair the damage from the wound I got in Hue City. My next deployment was to be back to Nam in a few months. I wanted to have fun before going. I think I had fun but I cannot remember. Semper Fi, do or die, and give some tequila a try.
 
I sure wish that the picture was still visible. :(

Must've been a good one. :D
 
1976 stationed at NAS Coronado Island and started drinking tequila in the barracks with 2 other guys. We woke up the next day on a beach halfway between Tijuana and Ensenada. I was missing my shoes, one of the other guys had a bloody gash across his forehead and the other bloody knuckles. Not one of us had any memories of what happened or driving there. Us and the car stunk of tequila and puke. Not the most pleasant drive back and I remember it taking days to recover. I have not touched tequila since.
 
Early '70's, I was a newly promoted LTJG, 3 Chiefs E7, E8 and E9 that I worked with (for) took me to the Chiefs Club to celebrate. I'd never done tequila shots before so they taught me how. To this day I won't touch the stuff.

They don't call it "ta-kill-ya" for nothing.
 
I don’t drink a lot of tequila. In three trips tp Mexico during the past decade, I did my part to work through three bottles of the local stuff, but no more than my part, and did no serious damage. I managed to bring back a 375ml bottle of Cabrito, which has sat on my shelf since.

I also brought back a plastic pop bottle of lechuguilla, moonshine from the bottom of Batipilas Canyon. Not only did it taste terrible, it made everything you drank afterwards taste terrible too. My stepdaughter called it “dirt on fire”. I donated that to my son’s blind pig, to be offered to unsuspecting victims. Somehow, they managed to finish it off, but it took months.
 
I was 19, and my younger cousin had just graduated from high school. We went to a graduation party where copious amounts of adult beverages were being consumed, including tequila. I tried to pick a fight with six guys. Not six guys individually, but six guys all at once. Luckily for all of us, they thought I was crazy and backed away from me. After the party, I spent the night at my aunt and uncle's house. I had a hangover for a week.
 
Good tequilas, like good bourbon or scotch, is made to be sipped and enjoyed. 4 small snifters full will erase all the day's troubles. Now you guys shooting that white tequila by the glassful, deserve what you get. No different than doing repeated shots of cheap whiskey.
