If so, I'm going to quit playing on here and go watch America's Most Wanted and see how many of you all are on there tonight.

lifeoftheparty: thank you! Finally, someone who gets it! Now, let's go party.

Answer 1

Don't know. But maybe you could sue him under the Mexican hat dance law (hope you know there is an actual dance the hat dance) lol!!!

Answer 2

If you commit a crime and your defense is that someone got you drunk and because you were drunk you committed the crime you would be guilty. Whether or not he got you intoxicated on the sly or not you would know yourself to be drunk. One cannot be drunk and not know it- at least not drunk enough to commit a crime and feel the need to blame the offense on impaired, intoxicated judgment. You can not use intoxication as a defence- best example is drunk driving.

You can sue someone for anything. You can sue your neighbor for punitive damages for looking at you funny. That does not mean you will win the case, though. If you tried to do this, the case would probably be thrown out and you may face a counter suit if you drag your husband all the way to court.


I never knew they put tequila into salsa and if they do there is NO WAY you would get drunk off the stuff without knowing it was in there. It would taste like you're taking a shot each time you ate a chip and to get drunk by dipping chips would take something like five bags of chip just for you alone. The salsa would look like soup and smell like a bottle of liquor.

Very unlikely.


P.S (read your additional comment)

A woman is driving with her kid in the backseat and they pass two horses in a field "doing it".
Kid asks: Mom, what are they doing? Mom does not want to explain to her small child what sex is so she says: Oh, they're just makin' fishsticks.
They drive more down the road and they see two dogs "getting it on". Again, kid asks: Mom what are THEY doing? Mom, uncomfortable, says: Don't worry hon, they're just makin' fish sticks.
So they get home, meet Dad and later that night the kid gets up and walks in on his parents "loving" and he yells out:
Mommie, what are you two doing?
Mom gets up and says: Oh, don't worry baby, your father and I were just makin' fish sticks.
Kid says: oh, because you've got a little tarter sauce on your face!

lol.

Have a good night!

Answer 3

Well first you don't sue your husband. You sue the tomato growers, the onion growers (hopefully Vidalia Onions, they are rich), and the grocery store who sold him the produce. The cilantro growers are probably poor Mexicans so don't bother them.

Don't forget the Tequila maker, distributor and liquor store. Sue them all for $50 million and settle for $5 million. Now at this point you can take your husband to Rio with you or you can bring assault charges against him and find yourself a nice towel boy on the beach.

Good luck.

Answer 4

You'd basically have to be drinking the salsa, and there would have to be something wrong with you not to notice that much tequila. Tequila is not exactly a light-flavored liquor. But I would say that if you did unknowingly get drugged by somebody else (and alcohol IS a drug), then you could have a defense in criminal court. After (if) you get acquitted, *could* you sue him for your legal fees? Yeah I guess, but there goes your marital relationship.

Answer 5

I think the only crime would be to your system when it realizes how much salsa you ate to get drunk off the tequila.

Answer 6

How could you "not" know you were Drunk? Come on now,, you didn't feel a little buzzed when eating the salsa??
Nope, we are all responsible for our own actions,, Sorry!

Answer 7

No, you couldn't. You Assumed the Risk by eating salsa that you KNEW had tequila in it. It doens't matter the amount of tequila that was in it.

Answer 8

Go ahead and sue his *** off, maybe next time he will try harder. Oh, and if you sue him aren't you suing yourself? I just hope the lawsuit leaves enough money for a good supper for the both of you!

Answer 9

why would you sue your husband??? Im sure no one put a gun to your head and made you eat the salsa. And why would anyone put Tequila in salsa anyway??

Answer 10

Ur ST***** A** knew you were drinking tequila...And what kind of sick person will put tequila on the Salsa.
