Question

Why do people suck lemon after drinking tequila shots?

Answer 1

Flavor + sour reaction. It cuts down on the taste of the tequila both before the next shot and after the last one.

Answer 2

cuz they need training wheels

Answer 3

To have an excuse to do body shots.  Here are the best versions.

Have the body lie down and expose their middriff and chest.  l**k their cleavage or chest and sprinkle salt on the wet spot.  Place the fruit wedge, rind side first, in their mouth.  Fill their belly button with tequila.  l**k the salt, suck the tequila, and get the lime.

If they cannot lie down, salt their neck but still put the lime in the mouth (or cleavage).  You have to drink the shot from a glass....

Answer 4

Tequila shots make them go crazy so lemons help.

Answer 5

To get rid of the foul taste?

Answer 6

to make it more palatable.

Answer 7

Because people are wimps and cant handle a real drink so they need a chaser like salt or lemon or even beer

Answer 8

Mostly because when doing shots at a bar they will serve you cheap tequila that has not been aged in a oak barrel. The longer you age the tequila in an oak barrel the smoother and better tasting it gets. Also not all tequila's are 100% agave so you need the lime to make it easier to drink. If you try añejo you will be able to taste the difference and more than likely won't need the lime.

Answer 9

Normally they use a lime (lemon would be used after sipping/shooting vodka) - the lime brings out the flavor in some tequilas - good quality tequila's do not need to have their flavors enhanced however...

Answer 10

they don't suck lemons, they sometimes suck limes, and that is because the flavor of limes compliment the flavor of tequila (as with a margarita)

Answer 11

Go do shots of tequila and see if you want to suck a lime.
