For when you always get your friends wasted with tequila

There are two types of people: those who make a disgusting face at the mere thought of a shot (ugh, yuck, no way!) and those who just can't help but suddenly order – ta-da – tequila during a night of partying. Hi, this is group two speaking. You too? Nice. I can tell you that today is quite our day: our favorite shot is having a birthday. Kind of. It's National Tequila Day and this is everything you need to know about our drink.

1. Tequila is made from a plant. Yes, just so you know: the blue agave. After a growth process of EIGHT years, the heart of this plant is used to distill the drink. And we drink it in, uh, one second flat.

2. In 1918, tequila really became popular when a doctor prescribed the drink as medicine for a Mexican virus.

3. A tequila shot of 30 ml contains about 70 calories.

4. For the most expensive bottle of tequila, a whopping 225,000 dollars was paid. Ka-ching.

5. You might not believe it, but in Mexico, a study has shown that tequila helps the body absorb calcium and magnesium. Wait a minute. IS TEQUILA JUST MILK?

I knew it: when life gives you lemons, just ask for tequila and salt. HAPPY TEQUILA DAY!
