Sky-Captain holding the booty! Notice an almost-empty Reposado, a Blanco taking some damage, and a fly-boy with a funny look in his eye. Coincidence? Never!
I’m just a regular Joe. An above average fellow, who happens to live in Mexico, happens to be a raging alcoholic, happens to have the means and ways to [...]

SO THIRSTY…
Ok. I went 4 days of true abstinence from Alcohol. Oh sweet Alcohol - just talking about it makes me want a drink! Why stray? It started with a cheat discussed earlier, then friends over the next night which led to some wine, Tequila, good times. Then, a great weekend! Lots of free time [...]

I cheated.
This morning I had too much free time on my hands, and too much time alone (the wife and boy went to the flea market in a neighboring town). I kept thinking how I hadn’t drank in 3 days, how proud I was, how great I am (I am pretty great…), and that [...]

That’s Booze-FAST, not fest. This is not a party, but a fairly fun, and hopefully successful experiment in Alcoholism. Why? Why not! I know I am pretty awesome at drinking, but not-drinking? Not so good. Honestly, I wouldn’t know… the last time I tried to take a break from drinking, it lasted an entire 2.75 [...]

I love old things. My entire life, I have been a collector of things now deemed “vintage”. It started with old Comics at a ripe old age of 5, with my dad buying me them at flea markets when we first immigrated to the U.S. - an obsession I carry on to this day. I [...]

To mis-quote Ron Burgundy, “ I love Gin. Ginny, Gin, Gin. Here it goes down, down into my belly…” . I love Gin. I am drinking it as I poorly type these honest words to screen, and it will get me through the night. I totally get why there were Gin Joints back in [...]

Dr Lakra (Jeronimo Lopez Ramirez, born 1972, Mexico) is an artist and tattooist based in Oaxaca Mexico. Apart from tattooing, his art involves embellishing images and other found objects - for instance, dolls, old medical illustrations, and pictures in 1950s Mexican magazines - with macabre or tattoo-style designs. He [...]

So….the bullet “salt” shaker, huh? I used to have something similar, but it sure as hell wasn’t for salt… Good God, look at that guys face! That’s some damn good salt.

I love Vodka and Orange Juice as well - always very helpful during the best of times, and the worst of times. Glad you liked it Tim!

Best Tequila model ever! My drinking partner Andrea holding the goods.
As much as I have been known to enjoy flavored spirits, most are hit or miss, often filling the bottle with so many sugary-gooey additions that they end up making it more candy than an elegant drink. I have had some great infused Vodkas that [...]

My morning Drinking solution - the “Drained Dry Mary”
Fellow freaks, fiends and ne’er-do-wells! It’s been a while since we last exchanged words on the subject of keeping the soul wet, and the heart happy. Why have I been away so long? Well, as we end a busy high season here in Sayulita, the land of [...]

Your friendly neighborhood self-destructive author, about to bust open his new bottle of Don Fernando T.K.O. - 40th Birthday, October 09
Don Fernando’s TKO Plata 100 x 100 is a unique tequila, and I don’t just mean that the bottle is a bright red glass boxing glove. Honestly, at first glance, this bottle comes across as [...]
