#1 Can those east coast limp wristed wienies go back to their precious little single malted scotch and leave the bourbon and tequila drinkers of the world alone?

Tequila snobs?? Same crowd that ruined chili and barbeque.

#3 Hey SPoD, keep your grubby paws off my single malts. That stuff has gotten too expensive as it is.

Millenials can craft distill their own bourbons that taste like Caro syrup.

#4 Alan,

You have to admit these trendy pinkie curling dilatants go from one thing to another based upon something they read in the New Yorker. They make single malted scotch more expensive because they suddenly have to drink it, then it was avocados and avocado toast. Then it was cauliflower, and on to bourbon and making those silly-assed sweet things that made Southern Comfort look like lemonade. And need I mention how they have screwed up red wine to taste like tannic acid with their precious Cabernet Sauvignons? I wish they would go back to just drinking stuff to get a buzz instead of this phony connoisseur stuff...they ruined cigars too for a while. These fucking east coast snob-assed trend followers need to stop and give us normal drinkers a break.

Who on earth in NYC or Chicago has any business drinking tequila anyway? I've been drinking tequila since the first time I sneaked across the border into boys town in Reynosa. I like the stuff its just that I like to drink tequila. I'm not trying to appear hip or trendy or part of the in crowd.

Keep you damned hands off my tequila. Its enough to make you want sit down with a jar of crunchy peanut butter and a spoon.

#5 Below freezing, night, naked in backyard.

#6 What is the fuss all about? if Tequila is not available, use Gin instead. Margaritas mad with Gin is pretty good, give it a try!

Heck, even Vodka will work just fine, with all that flavoring, no one can taste the alcohol subtle flavors anyway. (if any)

#10 Friend of a friend brought friend some hand-made mescal. He had people tracked down to share, including myself. Boy howdy. I think it would be lost on the pajama bois.
