I would agree. I pretty much stopped drinking tequila in high school, along with the nastiest excuse for a beer ever, Corona, which we refer as something that rhymes with hissona... 40 miles to Juarez, so in high school we'd go down twice a week sometimes. $6 drink and drown. You can imagine the rotgut crap we drank. But then in college, we'd buy Oso Negro gin that tasted almost identical to Tanqueray, but cost closer to $6 a bottle! Great for gin & tonics. And the Bacardi Anejo rum...good times...
