I don't dispute your assertion, I merely ask if you are stating it as matter-of-fact or in the form of a complaint?

This is in no way a complaint. Actually, there are no bad reasons to drink cheap tequila, and lots of good ones.

Amateur Night. Enjoy your crowded, overpriced bars and police checkpoints. I'll have a few micro brews in my man-cave for a fraction of the cost...

Amature hour.. just like St. Patty's day, celebrated by people who don't even know the significance of what they're celebrating and perpetuated by liquor companies.

No one in Mexico celebrates this.. it's basically an excuse for white people to drink sub-par tequila and eat tex-mex food.

And so what if it is?

What do you consider top shelf? I don't even drink tequila if its 'mixto' and not 100% agave

Anything over $7/shot

Yes, I pulled that number out of my ass. But that seems to be the cutoff around here between well Tequila and something I would actually drink straight.

Well tequila isn't even tequila. It is some cheap corn based fermentation with like 10% agave and food coloring. I do not drink that shit . Also it depends on if you are making the marg with silver, reposado or anejo. I agree you probably wouldn't appreciate an expensive silver in a marg but reposad0 or anejo can definitely change the character of the drink quite a bit.

Well, I'm glad we could get past our petty differences over whether Cinco De Mayo counts for anything, so that we could move on to our even pettier squabbing over what the ingredients of a true margarita are, and what kind of tequila is acceptable - both at the low and high end.

How is that for a run-on sentence?
