Tequila is the one alcohol I absolutely cant keep down. My ex is Mexican and his family drank tequila at every party. One time they made me take 8 shots and i threw up 7 times. That said, for the few seconds I get to enjoy it while drinking, good tequila is one of the smoothest alcohols I have ever had. I definitely see the appeal.

Please don't say anything that stupid again...

Quality of alcohol and hangover has nothing to do with eachother, only alcohol percentage. Not sure you even know what Hangover is, so let me put it simple:
In reality there is nothing in the world called hangover, because actually you get dehydrated. on average, if you drink 1 liter of beer(which is ~5 %) 1,3 litres of liquid will come out - as everyone know, when you drink you will pee quite a lot.
So there you go, if you knew about what hangover really is, I hope you wouldn't have come up with such a stupid comment.

Dont lash out of someone if you dont know how it works. Quality alcohol is less likely to make you sick due to the reasons that they contain less bad stuff.

When talking about tequila (is slightly different in production method)thou, its important to distinguish what quality he means. Some tequila of good quality are tripledistilled 3 times, witch means they are as pure as it goes when it comes to tequila. However, some quality brands are not and that means they are as bad for you as cheaper brands.

However, as a general rule of thumb, the better the beverage the better the rawmaterial. (For example, 100% agave is better then 51% agave and "cheapest neutral spirit you can find".)

And alochol percentage is not as important compared to what kind of alchol it is.
And finally, yes there are something called hungover, it is a legit word, used to describe the symptoms you write.
Dont call other people's comment stupid. And if you do, make sure your corrections are flawless.

Herradura silver - margarita's.

Patron silver - shots

Partron Anejo - slow/sipping

pretty much how I do things too. Had a bottle or two of Chinaco Anejo that went down smoothly as well. Overall though, I stick to silver for the cleaner agave flavor. For smoke and wood, given the choice I'd go for whisky these days.

This the the one that you see everywhere here in sweden. If you ask for tequila then there are like a 95% chance they will bring this bottle [image loading]

I'm not sure how it stacks up against the other brands but it gets you wasted that's what counts right?

This is the worst Tequila I've EVER tasted. For sure.

Ditto. Many bad nights and worse mornings lol. Just the smell makes me queezy.

Same boat as you guys. Tequila was awesome... until it wasn't.

I usually go for the Reposado, but with some brands, the Anejo is a nice change of pace. I like the "raw-ness" of the agave taste in the reposado, but the Anejo offers a much more refined, mellowed taste.

The Gran Centenario Anejo is quite good, and you can usually find it pretty cheap ($40 or so, depending on the market). When I'm in a pub, they don't usually have the Gran Centenario, so my fallback is usually Cazadores. Most American pubs will carry it.

I approve of this thread! Lol just picked up my first higher end bottle recently.

Tried some straight over ice with my oldest friend and we both agreed that while it was still most definitely tequila, it was incredibly smooth. Highly recommended to anyone here. When it comes to a mixing tequila though I usually head for my bottle of Lun Azul.

I'm all about the Cadadores. Cheap good 100% agave

also, I love this thread because nobody is saying PATRONNNNN lol
edit: nevermind, for those of you who did, it's overpriced and overrated

Petron is better than that 1800 shit.

After ralfy (ralfy.com) recently reviewed tequilas too, I have to try some!

This seems to be the only decent one I can get locally:

Is it worth a shot? Reviews seem to be quite ok. Price seems reasonable (< 25€). So far only got Sauza Hornitos for mixing.
What else are the usual quality/price recommendations in the 20-40€ range?

Kinda experienced with whisky, a little rum experience. Drinking good spirits pure and at room temperature out of Glencairn glasses usually.
