Love the stuff, but only if it's done right. No shots of Cuervo, unless it's the 1800 and even then it's a beer chaser to kill the burn. Truely good tequila is smooth and doesn't give the hangover that you'd normally associate with it. May be an acquired taste, but if so, it's no different from some people liking whiskey. Only problem with me and tequila is I shouldn't drink it unless SWMBO is nearby... :p

There is a lot of good quality tequila these days. 100% agave is a requirement ... reposado or better.

Nothing could be more dangerous than college freshmen and a few of those large plastic bottles of the cheap liquor store branded tequila.

Except for the Don Julio Anejo I tried once. I won't touch anything less.

I must be wierd. I like Jose Cuervo Especial.
You're not wierd. At least I don't think so. I actually like the taste of Cuervo Especial better than 1800. I'm a big fan of tequila. The Cuervo Tradicional is pretty good and I love Patron Reposado but I'd have to say, by shear volume consumed, Cuervo Especial is the winner.

A decision reinforced when I drove a friend to Mikey Ds one morning after a Mezcal binge, while waiting at the drive thru, he turned green, leapt out of the car and proceeded to spew, in full view of the diners eating breakfast, the contents of the previous nights debauchery

Cheaper tequila is o.k. for mixing, and that is about all, IMO.

Having, in my younger days, woken up in the desert in Mexico, (parked off the Highway), with an empty bottle of mezcal in the back seat, vomit all over the front of me, a raging headache, and lipstick on my undershorts, vowed never to drink tequila again.
What ? Sounds like you found the holy grail of tequilas !I never got lipstick on my undershorts from my tequilas.

Sauza Tres Generaciones is my favorite. I don't find tequila to be that harsh and I usually take it without a lime or chaser.
I recently tried that brand myself. Wife bought it + same brand margarita mix for a party. Of course I had a couple shots. I was pleasantly surprised.
After the move to VA I fully intend to splurge on a liqour cabinet and begin trying a few more.

Quality tequila is like a good Scotch or a good sipping whiskey. It is for enjoying and drinking slowly, not for mixing in margarita's or any other mixed drinks.
That's what the sommelier 
at the liquor store tried to tell me. I had been buying Cuervo Especial for margaritas, and I was happy with it, but all of a sudden they seemed way too ragged (not smooth), maybe it was a different Triple Sec. I tried the cheap Sauza, and that was worse. I like a smooth taste in my margaritas, and I plan to buy a better tequila even though I'm not sipping it.

On the JMU campus in Harrisonburg, VA, Jimmy Buffett was coming to play a concert. We started with the Tequila, limes and salt at about 2:30.
By 7:30, we did well to walk from my friend's apartment the 300 yards to the venue. I wrote a check for my ticket, and signed the check "Jimmy Buffett". Well, I MEANT to put that in the memo space, but just had a bit of a brain-tequila disconnect. Went through, and my dad still has that check and tells the story to this day.
Tequila in a mixed drink is fine, but I really can't drink it straight to this day.
The End

The Georgia Cracker half just buys Cuervo Gold and makes margaritas.

Other than the headache, I fail to see a problem here....
