Tequila experiences....

Non-Phish General
#1

…I haven’t had many in my life. 2 or 3 margaritas while warming up for a night of drinking or a shot or two of Patron is about as far as I’ve gotten with this particular liquor. I’ve always been kind of afraid of it.

but tonight I’m pretty soaked up in Jose Cuervo and Margarita mix. Shit I had left over from the weekend. 6 or 7 deep, but its taken me almost 5 hours, mixed with a few shots and High Lifes. I’m kind of afraid of how I’ll feel when I wake up, but I’m coherent and drinking water and am only moderately tipsy right now and I’m just about ready to pass out.

so I don’t have any good tequila stories, but I’m sure somebody else does. right?

I haven’t had too many run ins myself, because I know better. The last time I drank Tequila I was 19. I had just gotten off of work and one of my bosses was over. Then another friend called and he came over with some of his friends and next thing I knew I was smoking up with about 10 dudes in my livingroom. I have no idea why my roommates weren’t there or how this fiasco developed so quickly, but ultimately someone broke out a bottle of tequila. I was just getting over strep throat and had some Ultram leftover and decided to pop one or two and took about 6 or 8 gulps straight from the bottle. Next thing I know I’m screaming at everyone to get the fuck outta my house and next thing I remember I’m sitting up in my bad, trashcan between my legs throwing my guts up. Last thing I remember is laying diagonal in my bed and peering up at the haze-covered clock that said 12:45 a.m. or something like that. I had one of those 2-3 day hangovers after this experience.

Never. Again.

Tequila equals two to three shots (at the very most).

I go with no salt, but do suck a lime.

I learned the difficult way when I was a teenager not to slam this stuff down.

Interesting stories? Quite possibly, not that I could remember.

Outside of a Margarita at our favorite Mexican restaurant, the last time I got ‘serious’ with tequila was over thirty years ago when my friends and I decided to do shots and beer chasers at our favorite pub. I was doing pretty good for almost two hours before consciousness started to wane.

I don’t believe I passed out completely, but I have no real memory of the rest of that night. All I do remember is waking up in a friend’s spare bedroom sick out of my gourd. I could not even drive myself home until late afternoon the day after that. I swore I would never drink that way again, and as far as I can tell, I never have done tequila shots with beer chasers.

Of course at my daughter’s wedding I was doing Absolut and beer chasers, but didn’t pass out and didn’t get sick either. I’ve always been able to handle vodka better anyway.

I’ve had way too many, and most I don’t remember too clearly. I remember a couple of summers ago, my buddy and a I split a 40 Oz of Tequila, which we started drinking at about noon. At about 5 PM, that bottle was all but done and we decided that would be a perfect time to have a party. So we got on the phone and started calling everyone we knew. All these people start showing up and we are just blacked, and passed out adn the place is a mess, and they’re all like “We thought you guys were having a party”…yep…Tequila’s where it starts and where it ends.
