RANDOM TIDBITS
On average, Americans purchase 12.3 million cases of tequila a year.

Tequila is Mexico's national drink. While Mexico is where tequila originated (more on that later), the United States consumes twice as much tequila.

Good tequila, supposedly, does not result in hangovers. That said, it does have a mild hallucinogenic effect.

Tequila is made of blue agave Jalisco which is produced in select states in Mexico, including: Guanajuato, Michoacan, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas.

Tequila was first created in Tequila, Mexico in the 1500s by the Spanish. The native Aztecs are said to have made a beverage from the blue agave before the Spanish but there's no information regarding whether or not that drink was similar to Tequila.

Wondering what the most expensive bottle of Tequila is? A bottle of Platinum & White gold tequila sold for $225,000 in 2006.
