Once at a party I was badgered into 3 shots - thought I’d die but I didn’t.
********************
When a Jr. in HS (1950s), my HS friend had gone to Mexico and came back with a LARGE bottle of 180 proof tequila. We took it with us while cruising around before the midnight movies on Halloween. ....We bought all kinds of things like 7-Up, Ginger-Ale, etc., to try to use as mixers/chasers. They all failed with that bottle of rocket fuel.
We were pretty much blitzed when we went to the theater for a couple of movies. We managed to stagger out and drank some more while my friend just kept driving.
Woke up in full sunlight, in the middle of a farmer’s field with no idea where we were. We were both sick and hungover in a major way. .....Managed to drive the car back along the tracks the car had made in the field and through the fence to a road.
Turns out, that field was about 20 miles away from where we lived, but we didn’t know that until after driving around on various roads until we found one that was familiar.
I finally got home around noon and immediately went to bed. I was sick from alcohol poisoning for about two days. Since then, I can only drink tequila in a margarita. The smell of tequila gags me.
Apologies for the long post, but that just stirred memories.
WOW - probably lucky you were young enough to survive that but I do believe that stuff can kill you without you even knowing it.
I used to love them but have had only one Margarita since that incident - and it was a virgin.
