Tequila

Tequila is fast becoming the drink of choice for party goers. The think with tequila is that it gets you there fast. Have two or three shots before you hit the club and all you need is a couple of beers to keep the buzz going.

Tequila is also getting expensive. This bottle of 1800 Reposado is $50 and this one was the third we opened that day. Drinking tequila is like a ritual; you need more than just the tequila to conduct the ritual as required. First get the lemon wedges and salt and of course the shot glasses. We have a big collection of them. Every town, city, country we visit adds to our collection. Some have lights, others give you a graphic representation of drunken nights in a foreign country. Oh the memories.

Once you have all the tools and ingredients prepared you need to find a quite place where the music doesn't overpower your conversation. At first there will not be much to say. Every one will say "Salud", lick the salt off their hands, tilt their heads back and drink the agave product; and to top it off drop a lime wedge in your mouth to mask the after taste. It is worth noting here that 1800 doesn't carry that bad of an after taste. It is rather smooth and easy to drink.

The one reason you want to hear your drinking buddies conversations is because tequila is like a truth serum; the truths I've found about people thanks to tequila.

Well, it is time to go and tell a couple of truths.
