Anyone want to do some shots?

[SirStev0]

Semi-Inspired by the how much does it take thread...

Whenever I suggest Tequila people usually get that "yuck" face on and proceed to give me two answers:
1.) I never drink that stuff, I always hear bad things..
2.) This one time I was drinking tequila and... (insert absurdly funny drunken crime-filled story that ends in vomiting, fighting, jail, sex, loss of friends or S.O. and/or neardeath)

Personally, I love the stuff. It is one of the few liquors I enjoy taking shots of and by far the only liquor that never really makes me sick. I could drink it for hours. Vodka and Bourbon kill my stomach. I like scotch but it is way to pricey. Jager and other "bar" shots are good but usually pricey for their comparatively lower alcohol content. I would much rather some Jose.

Now I do realize that some may not like the taste or what not... but that can not be only it. I do know I tend to black-out more often when I drink tequila (aka don't remember patches of the night) I could see people not enjoying that and the potential for the inserted story above to occur. But hell, it does make for a great night... and assuming you survive it, They are usually one hell of a story.

So... Anyone else a big tequila fan. What is your tequila-induced mayhem story? Do you love to "Unleash their inner Mexican" or are you happy keeping him right where he is?

It involves streaking through the back of a school in the winter while a storm was going on, using a traffic cone as my penis and being chased by security.

I stick to bourbon these days.

tequila is perfect to use for body shots.

Now that is what I am talking about!

I have a love for all hard liquors except rum and bourbon.. way too sweet for my tastes.

Tequila and I have a fun history together, I dig the taste and the delayed reaction.

However you're right, people are very binary about Tequila.. it's either 'hell yeah' or 'hell no' in my experience when offering a shot to someone.

Being half Irish and half Mexican, I like to get a double shotglass and fill it half with Tequila and half with Bushmills Irish whiskey.. dangerously good :Q

What the hell... I'll give a classic one.

Same situation on spring break 2 years ago. Two of my buddies each gave one of the answers... one was never again and the other was no way I heard bad things. After some arguing, we get a 1/2 gallon of Jose. 3 hours later we are sitting next to the pool in the sun finishing the last of the Jose. We had some buddies doing Jager-bombs and we were sharing. Needless to say Jager-bombs and tequila DO NOT MIX. Then the hot tub comes. Then back to the pool in the sun. Somewhere along here some little 8-10 year old kid starts hanging around us. We were throwing a ball around and such... there was almost 20 or so of us now that we all knew. His parents are off in Margarita land themselves... see the potential free babysitters as we were keeping him occupied and b-line it to the pool bar. We had always joked with our one friend that he was a child molester and such because everytime we were at the beach or pool little boys would come over to play with him. Or so we claimed.

Somewhere in this absurdity we decided to get the kid to finish the follow phrase... We would yell, Hey little kid... What was Jesus... and he would respond... FUKIN' METAL!. The girls who were with us yelled at us basically the whole time.

Well then the management came down. I argued with the guy for about a half hour ... told him I didn't even live there. Argued more. Made faces at him. Then did what he asked... at the time I had no idea what the hell I was arguing ... something over the empty bottles laying about, half of which weren't ours. He kept saying cops and underage... I kept telling him I wasn't under 21. I am told I must of used fuk every other word.

Then I jumped in the pool. Buddy 1 then began to vomit and pass out in the bushes. Buddy 2 decided backflipping into the pool off the deck would be a great idea and smashed his face in. Had to be rushed to the hospital for various stitches and a broken nose and cheekbone. I somehow made it to my room ... got undressed and layed in the tub with the shower on. Basically so I could vomit and not make a mess or so I am told. I then blamed the state of the bathroom (wrecked) on another kid who was staying with us who was still nursing a hangover from the day before and passed ass out at 430 in the afternoon.
I somehow woke up at 11 and ended up meeting up with the guys who had the jager from earlier.

I'm not really a big fan. I'll take a shot if someone asks me to but I'm not going to go out of my way to drink it. I just don't like the taste.

Everclear, however, I am now staying the fvck away from. I stupidly drank a 1/4 fifth of that after I had already finished a fifth of SoCo. I don't remember the end of that night but I do remember getting into a slapping contest with one of my friends and also flooding a room.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Ugh, I can't hold my tequila. Anytime I try things always end exactly like OP's option #2. Something absurdly stupid happens and then I throw up.

...never again.....until the next time.

 

[Sqube]

I love tequila and tequila loves me right back. It's fun with salt and lime, and it's fun on its own.

It almost inevitably goes bad in the end, but oh well.

 

[Squisher]

Those are half gallon corks

BTW-that bottle on the right is Agavero a tequila liqueur. Nothing like throwing in a splash of that stuff into a glass of tequila.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

:music: There's booze in the blender, and soon it will render, that frozen concoction that helps me hang on:music:

 

[TraumaRN]

Tequila loves me...and I love it right back. I've never had a horrible story with. Well unless you count drunken tequila induced Wii boxing for 3 hours with friends. One fifth of .30-30 Reposado split 3 ways...it was the middle of January, and after becoming throughly trashed on said tequila we played Wii Sports for about 4 hours straight. I remember my friend vaguely opening all the windows in the apartment since we were all soaked in sweat....then I remember waking up 3 hours later freezing my balls off because we forgot to close the windows and all of us had throughly passed out...

Or the time me and my father knocked out a fifth of tequila on our own in about 3 hours...in the middle of a Tennessee summer....and passing out in the lawn chair and waking up with the worst sunburn of my life...

Kinda tame compared to others but still

Speaking of which...I have some .30-30 in the freezer right now! I think I'll toast ATOT a shot

somehow my story of pulling out my penis and peeing under a table in the bar just doesn't seem to live up to yours.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts on tequila.

Can you recommend any decent brands?

 

[potato28]

I don't like it straight, but mixed in my "special" margarita's will fk you up FAST! "

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Another tequila lover here!

Beer and tequila is what I try and stick to and gives me the least hangover provided I'm not drinking cheap crap mixto. If you must drink mixto, avoid the gold and go with silver or blanco.

You can get 100% Agave for as low as $12.99 a fifth in my neck of the woods and Hornitos & Cuervo Tradicional are both only $18.99 on sale.

Patron is overpriced, if you have to drink $40 a bottle tequila go with Herradura Anejo or Resposado.
