I think most of us can testify about being betrayed by that slick talker: tequila.
My first experience with tequilla I screwed the order of the salt/lemon/shot thing and ended up with nothing left to get the fire residue out of my mouth.
And yes, I agree that shots are wrong. Sip and enjoy.
Salt and lemon (I'm assuming it was actually a lime)? Why ruin a good shot with that crap? You drink tequila straight up, or you don't drink it at all.
Well, this Prairie Fire crap was not good going down....and certainly much worse coming back up.

Let me guess, you don't drink anything under Patrón? I wanna see you shoot some well tequila straight up and not wish to god you had a lime to bite.

Well, I've had my fair share of Cuervo (which is pretty bad tequila) but I've also spent some time with bottles the likes of Pepe Lopez and those no name brands with the worm thrown in for no apparent reason.
I started out like you guys, drinking tequila with all the accouterments, but then I remembered that I was a man. I mean, if I'm doing shots of SoCo and Wild Turkey solo, why do I need all that crap to do a shot of cheap tequila?

I've done that. Well, I did want the lime, but I didn't take it. It's a juvenile, fun way to show everyone that your liver has a big hairy nutsack.
I have to be pretty drunk before someone can talk me into taking a shot of tequila. After a long night of poker in highschool when the loser of the games had to take a shot of tequila I was good for about 14 rounds. Somehow managed to hold it down but it packed one of my worst hangovers I've ever had.

Tequila body shots, my friend....tequila body shots are the best. I'll never forget one evening at Fast Eddie's in Alton.......oh, never mind!

I used to drink that stuff like water in college, it was actually my favorite hard alcohol. You see where I'm going w/ all these stories (everything is in my past). Oh what it was like to be in highschool and college.
