I have seen this many times
[QUOTE=SpeedToys;2684846]I don't drink very much, I =can't= due to the nature of how my body works after a severe stroke 5 yrs ago.
Last night my date and I were enjoying HK, I had a total of -2- beers and -1- tequila shot.
She had the same, 2 beers, one shot.
The whole stay was maybe 90 min, and the shot was on the way out the door.
Cab to Pueblo Amigo, and 30 min later we were hitting the sheets. She went from "normal" to passed out so bad. She was breathing really shallow and was crying she couldn't move. I stayed up most of the night until she was more 'normal', about 430 a.
I got a little sleep in as well, but when I woke up I felt like I had the meanest hangover I've had in decades along with her. And it took us a few hours this morning to really shake this off.
On two beers, and one shot. Bullshit.
We are both 100% convinced our shots were massively fucked up at this point.[/QUOTE]Her reaction is what many people are experiencing from the booster shot or 2nd vaccine, your reaction sounds like a lack of rest and stress. Maybe not in this case but you should ask.
Buying 5 gal jugs of bad tequila on Revolution
[QUOTE=Hadez;2684856]Just curious how do you know it was not the beer? Just asking because around 2007 or so a wingmen and I were sure beers were tampered with.
BTW report these kinds of things to management. Other clubs like Chicago and Adelitas do not give a f but HK is super serious about protecting their customer revenue.[/QUOTE]Buddy of mine were looking for the good stuff on Revolution and found a place before the pandemic. He bought two 5 gal jugs of cheap tequila for $10 because he wanted to re-distill it to clean out the impurities. Opened the jug for a whiff. Smelled like cleaned version of bad gas. Kinda like a mixture of plastic, musty varnish and a little tequila. He tried re-distilling twice but it was still really bad.
With the inflation setting in, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone was cutting their tequila with the cheap stuff. I'm not saying it's the alley gasoline, but I've always had a headache with Cuervo.
HK has some shit in their Tequila.
Speedtoys.
Don't know what Teq brand you bought. If you just order a tequila shot, meseros will bring the cheapest brand, Jose Cuervo Especial, $5 a shot in HK, $10 a fifth in store. It has certain chemicals that will give you headache, thirst, hang over, stomach ache, some time complete pass out until you drink it often enough for your body to get used to and can resist those chemical allergies.
HK's tequilero, Speedy, also pours JC Especial from the bottle, down your throat, $5 for 3 shots. He then squirts beers in, wraps your head in a towel and shakes it violently for the maximum buzz hehe. One night I went to a steak house with a wingman, drank half a bottle of Argentine's bitter Malbec, came back to HK, sucked down 3 or 4 beers, then Speedy showed his face and poured me a couple shots of JC. That night my whole digestive system was in a lot of pain, like it was filled with concrete, felt a big thirst but did not feel like drinking, eating or even breathing for 2 days. It could have been fatal. I never had digestive problem with any wine or beer until that point, so the JC shots in combination with beers and wines really messed me up.
OTOH in HK I drank quite a few shots of JC Esp, Don Julio 70, Don Julio 1942, Macallan 15, Johnny Walkers ect, sometimes in combinations, got the happy buzz, never any headache, thirst or hang over. One night I already had a couple Teq shots, went to Chicago with wingmen and sipped down a shot of a cheap tequila, $8 a fifth. Man, that Teq was harsh, tasted like high-octane gas hehe. I was feeling happy, walking straight and level on La Zona broken sidewalks with the wingmen to their hotel, laid down in bed and passed out completely unconscious for 8 hours. If 10 hot HK girls took advantage and raped me brutally I would not have known hehe. Wingman was worried, but I woke up and felt fine, no headache, thirst or hang over.
To avoid health problem it's prudent to order only brands you are used to drinking at home, in sealed bottles or cans, and only in reputable bars when out of the country. Guys from Asia told me almost all expensive liquors in Asia are fakes, with local filling and labeling original bottles with local rubbing alcohol and aromas hehe. Lots of guy don't really know what their expensive liquors should taste and smell like and just keep buying and knocking them down with their putas. A lot of liquors in Asia are also laced with insecticides or cheap synthetic drugs, like fentanyl, to give quick and powerful buzzes. A few young bulls from Texas have died after a night of binge drinking on the streets of Asia.
Crooks in Asia even counterfeit popular and upscale beer brands like Heineken. Just fill bottles with local beer, put a cap and a label on them and sell them for more than local brands. Beer cans are safer as canning requires more equipment for sealing. This world is so fucked up with stupid, nasty, greedy people. Overall, Tijuana bars are still fairly safe compared to those in Asia. Just stick to what you normally drink and always protect your drinks from potential spiking with ruffies by some assholes.

Low quality grain alcohol

There are tequilas that are even cheaper than JC and seem to be almost pure grain alcohol. For example, I can handle my tequila, but a shot or two of the free "tequila" offered at the door of the other clubs will mess me up completely. Perhaps to save on costs, HK has started using this extra low quality tequila when a customer does not ask for a specific brand of tequila. Best to always ask for your favorite brand so you will know instantly after you taste that you did not get what you asked for.
Teetotalling mongers, What's it like?
Finally getting back to Tijuana next week after a 4 year absence.
I'm excited, but just a little apprehensive too. Quit drinking 2 1/2 years ago and I'm wondering how this will change things. Loved sucking back Polars in HK surrounded by sexy chicas. I expect it to feel much different this time being sober, but I hope it doesn't spoil it. I associated heavy drinking with fun for all of my adult life.
For anyone in a similar circumstance, what do you order? Is their coffee any good? Do you just have sodas? Fruit juice? How do the pesky meseros treat you? Wondering if I'd fit in better during the relatively sedate late morning / early afternoon hours than trying to hang late night?
Anyone care to share their personal experience or thoughts about this?
