> [@kayaker](#): > > Why all the hate for tequila? I love drinking a flight of really good tequilas. > > Then again, I love vodka, scotch, whiskey, bourbon, etc. Pretty much everything except for gin. No love for juniper berries. You are a perverted USAsian 😉 . Sure, vodka is great stuff, but as a USAsian pervert, you probably don’t like Caesars, either, which are the king of all mixed drinks! Scotch, whiskey, bourbon, etc are all the work of Satan and a major cause of hangovers. Except for Cuban or Puerto Rican amber rum, which causes no harm in moderation – meaning that you stop drinking it while you can still stand upright! 😉 Gin is not my favourite beverage, but on warm summer days it works a treat with some bubbly tonic water! ---

Are we sure Sammy didn’t just go on a bender and drink it all, and then come up with the heist story to explain where it went? > [@Spiderman](#): > > Tequila & good don’t belong in the same sentence. Is tequila the only drink that becomes _more_ valuable when there’s a worm in it? ---

I like tequila, and there is quite a spectrum of quality. A lot of people don’t like it, too bad for them. What I don’t understand is the tired and stupid routine of people downing tequila shots and grimacing or making a big show od how awful it is. If you don’t like it don’t drink it And please don’t feel the need to tell me you call it 'to-kill-ya". ---

Tequila Tip: the place to go in San Diego is El Agave, where they boast of having 2000 bottles to choose from. The food is good too. [![](https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-xlarge/2/28009994.jpg) ](https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-xlarge/2/28009994.jpg) ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > They probably don’t want to disguise the product since the brand is what makes it valuable. Probably best to find a dishonest distributor somewhere far away who will take the whole load at once. I’ve read that various Middle East countries are supposedly ideal for this. Ruling elites love luxury brands and they don’t ask questions about why the price is so far below market. ---

Something interesting that the article doesn’t mention is that tequila is usually transported in tanks and is sometimes classified as a hazardous material. ---
