    Tequila NEVER contains a worm. It's not allowed under Mexican law.

    What you're talking about is Mezcal, a different type of liquor also made from agave cactus.

    Most good mezcals don't have the worm (which is really a larva). They add it to cheap ones so that US college kids can claim they "ate the worm".

    If your friend is going to Mexico, especially a touristy area where college kids hang out, they should have no trouble finding mezcal with the "worm".

    Oh, and why did you post this under the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered" category?

    ------------------------

    I repeat NO TEQUILA HAS EVER HAD A WORM. If you have heard otherwise, you have been misinformed.

    Mezcal is a type of liquor, not a brand (like thw word vodka). There are many brands of mezcal, just like any other liquor, but not all contain a "worm". Your friend will just have to ask for a mezcal with the "worm". It shouldn't be hard to find.

    I know the whole worm in the Tequila thing sounds cool, but no good quality Tequila contains a worm. It won't even pass Mexican inspection with the worm. You might want took look for some Mezcal. Some forms have worms. Not very good though...

    Girl, Mezcal taste like garbage. Ask for some normal Mexican Tequila. That stuff with knock you on your behind.

    NO TEQUILA CONTAINS A WORM. You have been misinformed.

    No real tequila contains a worm. Some American distillers produce a product they call tequila that has a worm in it but this is not real tequila, it is known as cheap tequila.

    Most tequila available is not real tequila. To be designated real tequila, the drink can only be made from the blue agave plant and it can only be produced in five regions of Mexico, these regions are for the most part in the north-west part of the country.

    If you want real tequila the bottle will say 100% agave, 100% blue agave, or something similar.

    So do a search w/ Yahoo or Google on Tequila and you will be better equipped to tell your friend what you really want.

    Bottoms up....... :>

    It is called "Mezcal"

    "The use of the worm is exclusive to mezcal, since the Mexican standards authority, Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM), prohibits adding insects or larvae to tequila."

    And I agree, no tequila has a worm. It is mezcal.

    Real tequila, as in tequila that is 100% agave shouldn't have a worm in it. And that is coming from every waiter that yelled at my mom in Cancun Mexico when she asked for tequila with a worm in it.

    Mezcal has worms. Not Tequila. Mezcal also tastes like crap.
