Question

I heard eating the worm at the bottom of a teqila bottle can get you really drunk?

Answer 1

That would depend on how much tequila you had to drink to get to the worm.

The worm won't make you drunker - it's just bonus protein!

Answer 2

1- It's in mezcal, which is a category of liquor that tequila falls into: like scotch to whisky. You shouldn't find "worms" in tequila.

2- It's really a larva, not a worm

3- It's been pickled by the liquor and you could likely eat it raw anyway

4- It contains only a tiny bit of liquor, it isn't going to get your drunk, much less "really drunk".

So unless you get some crazy stuff in an unlabeled jar from some guy on a Tijuana streetcorner, it's perfectly safe to eat the stupid thing.

Answer 3

It can poison you

Answer 4

It won't do much for ya - it's actually very disgusting...

Answer 5

what gets you drunk is the bottle of mezcal that you drink to get to the worm.

Answer 6

By the time you get to the worm your to drunk to notice. I dont  think you can get more wasted by drinking the worm.
