Tequila

Well this is awkward. I've drank tequila off and on over my whole lifetime, but I've come to a tough decision. It's time to stop drinking tequila. In fact a 1.75 liter bottle just went down the drain in my kitchen. That was a tough decision. What was it based on?

Well it turns out that 1 oz of tequila has an unusually powerful effect in my system. Maybe it's worth figuring out what's different about tequila than vodka, but probably won't spend the time to figure it out. Might involve some sort of scientific analysis which would require resources I'm not going to Marshall. After drinking tequila I wake up with dry mouth and sort of a weird hangover that isn't a headache, but rather fuzzy head. Old fuzzy head.

Tequila tastes great and feels pretty good going down. Still, our Heavenly father's overall plan needs to be respected. Maybe alcohol in general just isn't for you. Maybe it's wine beer or some other hard liquor. At 62 I'm looking at life a little different than I did 10 years ago. 10 years ago it was time to Double Down and get going with the tough. Today it's time to think about the end of the road and how to get there in the most respectful and obedient way.

Beer and wine have been somewhat continuous companions over the years. Vodka has a relatively subtle effect on me and I generally wake up feeling fine. Tequila's been one of those things that has been Revisited every few years briefly and then set aside. Reality is it probably should have been discontinued in college and left alone.
