Where's the Tequila?

I want a margarita. Actually, I want more than one. You know why I can't have one? The damn Mormons control the local government and thus, the liquor licenses in this town and they won't give the very nice Mexicans a license. I don't want to drink margaritas at home. I want to be out enjoying one in a bar, but the only way to do that is to drive 40 miles and that screws with the ability to drink multiple margaritas.

I bet Jesus would like margaritas. If he'd been in Mexico instead of the Middle East, instead of turning the water into wine, he'd have turned water into tequila. Right? Okay so the Spanish first distilled agave in the 1500's when they ran out of brandy, but he totally could have done it a lot earlier. You'd need a lot less tequila to make a crowd happy than wine.
