After a hard day with my toddler, I’m considering putting on my Stetson and going down to Mexico to drink.
I hate the glamorization of alcohol. It’s not like it’s coffee or something.
After falling in love with Mezcal via my ex, I took a bottle of Mezcal to a party. They all hated it. Those Gringos did not appreciate good taste!
Its a dangerous introduction to mezcal lol
Soju is supposed to be sipped in a similar way – cue frat boys, Karens and dumb tourists trying to chug them and then waking up in the ER or on the floor.
When 60 minutes have nothing to show then they show this 😂.
60 minutes promoting alcoholism !
Big APACHE Mezcalero
He’s hot!
MSM lying again!!! She lies a lot though!! Bourbon is made in MAPLE barrels not OAK!!! Do your research before you lie!!! But you lie a lot!!!!
That was the longest mezcal commercial ever. Glad I saw Oaxaca before 60 Minutes did.
‘Ilegal mezcal’ is owned by a big corporation. It’s not truly authentic, actually it’s watered down a bit. 💡
