The use of the worm is exclusive to mezcal, the Mexican standards authority, NOM, prohibits adding insects or larvae to tequila.

Mezcal is a Mexican distilled spirit made from the agave plant. There are many different types of agaves, and each produces a slightly different mezcal. Agave is part of the Agavaceae family, also called maguey. While Tequila is a mezcal made only from the blue agave plant in the region around Tequila, Jalisco, spirits labeled "Mezcal" are often made using other agave plants.

Mezcal will sometimes have the worm.
Real Tequilas NEVER have a worm!

Actually, I've seen tequila with worms in the bottel. But I think you are talking about Mescal. It's even nastier than tequila.

Mezcal... people tend to get the two confused since they're both from Mexico.
P.S. the worm does NOT make you trip or drunker.
