Okay, let’s talk about booze, specifically vodka and tequila. I’ve been trying to watch what I drink, you know, for health reasons and all that. So, I got curious: which one’s the lesser evil, vodka or tequila?
I started digging around, reading articles, and comparing notes. It’s kinda interesting when you start looking at this stuff. They both have their ups and downs, but I wanted to see for myself.
First, I got my hands on a decent bottle of each. Not the super cheap stuff, but not the crazy expensive kind either. I figured that’s what most people would go for, right? Then, I started my little experiment. I decided to have a few drinks on different nights, alternating between vodka and tequila. Nothing too crazy, just a couple of shots each time, over ice. I wanted to see how my body reacted, how I felt the next day, and all that jazz.
My Observations
- Taste Test: Well, obviously, they taste different. Tequila’s got that earthy, sometimes sweet thing going on, depending on whether it is blanco, reposado, or añejo. Vodka, it’s more about being smooth and not having a strong flavor, ideally.
- The Day After: This is where it got interesting. Honestly, after a couple of shots of either, I didn’t feel much of a difference the next day. Maybe I’m just lucky, or maybe it’s because I didn’t go overboard.
- Calorie Check: I read somewhere that tequila is supposed to be a bit lower in calories than vodka. We’re talking around 64 calories a shot for tequila versus like 96 for vodka, they say. But who’s really counting when you’re having a good time?
- How I Felt: Both gave me that relaxed feeling, no big surprises there. Tequila did feel a bit lighter, though. Maybe it’s just in my head.
- The Verdict: I am leaning towards tequila, though. It feels slightly better on my stomach, and I like the taste better.
So, there you have it. That’s my little experiment with vodka versus tequila. I guess if you’re really watching your calories, maybe tequila’s got a slight edge. But honestly, the best thing is to just drink in moderation and pick whichever one you enjoy more. I like tequila slightly more than vodka, and it seems to be a bit healthier as well. Also, it’s really important to choose a good one. Cheers!
