Yeah, no joke man. 1800 silver is a damn fine tequila, and at a pretty good price. If memory serves, you can get a liter of 1800 for about the same price as a fifth of Patron, and imo, there's not THAT much of a difference. I'm also a big fan of the Cabo Wabo, though it runs pretty close in price to Patron.
A shot of Patron Silver at "The Grill"...the bar in which I was "asked to leave" after spending over $200 (fuckin' pricks) is SEVEN FUCKING DOLLARS. Yet, that night, I must've ordered fifteen shots of it....it was worth it.
That was what I ordered when I noticed I had some "leeches" hangin' round. I was buying shots for old friends I had ran into, and these mofo's thought I was ballin' out of control or some shit. So I ask "who wants to do a shot?!"..."Me! me! ME!"...So I count the leeches, "one two three..and order four shots...no one breaks out any cash...so I take a look at them...and slam each shot, without so much as a breath inbetween. The look on their fucking faces was priceless.
