I like them too, but they go down too easy. A few years ago I came across
an article about Margaritas and got the urge to make some. I had a bottle
of Tequila that a friend of my brother's gave to him and since he does not
like tequila he passed it on to me. I had limes, sugar, tequila and mixed
up a pitcher full of Margarita on a hot summer day. They were delicious,
so I mixed up another batch. That batch was as good as the first batch, so
we made another batch. We would have made a fourth batch, but we had
already consumed an entire bottle of Tequila in about 40 minutes and we
were smashed for a short time, followed by a headache and dehydration. I
like Margaritas, but I avoid them.
