One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Floor
As we all know, it wouldn't be Tennessee if any of our decisions concerning liquor and liquor consumption made any sense or bore any consistency whatsoever.
So on the day we find out that the legislation to legalize the sale of wine in grocery stores is being withdrawn for this year, over fears that the increased availability of wine would lead to irresponsible drinking and drunk driving, we also find out that:
Come May 5, a Franklin restaurant wants to give the city a new designation: Tequila shot capitol of the world.
SOL Restaurant organizers hope to have more than 1,300 people taking a toast of tequila during the restaurant’s Cinco de Mayo outdoor festival, which would break the current world record. The downtown restaurant is located at the corner of Fourth and Main.
I have nothing against a restaurant trying to break the world tequila shot record. Hell, I've already made a mental note to go and check it out. But for those of us who want common-sense liquor laws in Tennessee, this is just rubbing margarita salt into the wound.
