"One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor." - George Carlin

Ah. Tequila. 

Did you know?: A Tijuana bartender named Carlos Herrera was said to invent the margarita.* Thank you, dear sir, for this contribution to our lives.

Only buy tequila that is 100% de agave or 100% puro de agave. Better to get the decent stuff and drink less than to get a bottle of liquid death. This is one of those things that just really shouldn't be up for debate.
