Love Song of the Agave

Douglas Menuez in Orion supplies an answer to an age-old question.
Over a bottle in a bar in SoHo, he explained that "to understand Mexico, you must understand something of tequila and tradition. Tequila was a gift from the gods to the Aztec, a sacrament to be respected, which it remains today." He had not, however, heard of a technique for making tequila that involved naked men in vats. We concluded that if such a thing existed, it would be worth knowing about.

The age-old question being "Why do you Americans come here and then drink only Coca-Cola?"
