If I stick with beer, I am Mr. Mellow. Give me a bottle of Tequila and I become the Tasmanian Devil. Hence, my drink of choice is beer.
Now are you talking Tequila, or Mezcal...because that little worm makes A LOT of difference. I too, can recount countless tails of violence and total asshatery, while under the influence of that vary evil liquid, however, I recently had to buy my wife a jug for Margaritas, and because it seemed like the thing to do, I bought her the good stuff...(I never do for mixing)...a bottle of 1800 silver. I hadn't drank Tequila in at least 2 decades and wanted to see if the new stuff really was far better then the old Monte Alban, and other rot gut my friends and I drank. I discovered 2 things.
#1) the new Tequila really is much better, and
#2) I only got violent, because I was young, and nutty, and had something that provoked, or at least I imagined a provocation, that made me act like an ass.
Next time you are in a bar, and are on your last beer, just before you're done, order a shot of 1800, and then leave the bar so you aren't tempted to drink more. At least you'll get to see how smooth the new Tequila's are.
