There are no worms in tequila, only in mezcal. I ate 7 in one night with no effect.

no eating the worm at the bottom of the bottle of tequila will make u drunker not hallucinate the worm has been soaking in the tequila for a long time so it absorbs the alchol. just like if u put a bunch of maraschino cherries in a jar and let them sit in rum, vodka, scotch the cherries will get u drunker then any drink.

I think you are thinking of Mezcal. There is no worm in Mexican-bottled tequila. Yes, some American-bottled brands put one in their bottle to impress the gringos and boost sales, but it's only a marketing ploy and not a Mexican tradition. There is a worm, called a gusano, properly a butterfly caterpillar (Hipopta Agavis) in some types of mezcal, but not all. You may also get a small bag of 'worm salt' - dried gusano, salt and chile powder tied to a mezcal bottle. The worm-in-the-bottle myth is old and tired. Is the worm even a traditional element in mezcal production? Not according to Del Maguey Mezcal producers: they say it's a recent development, a marketing ploy that appeared only in the 1940s to try and get more attention on mezcal, and they should know. There are two types of gusano in mezcal: the red (gusano rojo, considered superior because it lives in the root and heart of the maguey) and the less-prized white or gold (gusano de oro) which lives on the leaves. The red gusano turns pale in the mezcal, the gold turns ashen-grey. Both larvae are commonly eaten as food and are sold in Zapotec markets. Yes, you're supposed to eat the worm in mezcal. Don't worry, it's quite well pickled and free of pesticides. They're often raised just for use in mezcal, cooked and pickled in alcohol for a year. But dispel any idea it has any magical or psychotropic properties, that it's an aphrodisiac or the key to an 'unseen world.' It's merely protein and alcohol, but it's very rich in imagery.

No, not even after drinking the entire bottle. You are not going to hallucinate you are just probably going to VOMIT.....

That depends if you drank the bottle to get to the bottom...then maybe. If not, it's doubtful.

Who in the heck told you that bull. As the rest said it has already been pickled even if not the acid in your stomach will destroy it.
