Zappa has a song on the revered LP
"Burnt Weenie Sandwich" called WPLJ.....you guessed it (or not!), It's an acronym for "white port and lemon juice".
i've tried it in vol at age 16 when the LP came to my attention. I cannot comment on what it did to my brain as the cops never caught us!

It's been twenty years since I got drunk on my first and last jar of pulque. Someone told me it had hallucinogenic qualities at the time we sat down
with a bunch of Indios in a pueblito near Mexico and started drinking the stuff. I remember the buzz wasn't all it was cracked up to be and the
Indios weren't any too friendly to me as their women weren't allowed to drink the stuff and, as I found out later, I was breaking the taboo in front
of them.
But the memory that will never go away is that pulque has the worst consistency of anything I've ever consumed in my life and I only got it down by
force of will in order not to be further embarrassed in front of the locals (fancied myself an anthropological type at the time and didn't want to
give insult).
I don't know if there are words to describe the slimey quality of that drink. It already comes with a bit of a citric taste, but a little lime
certainly couldn't hurt. The only thing I can compare the texture to is for those of you who've cut open an aloe to put the cool gooey juice on a
burn, that's exactly what pulque is like, a sort of slime.

Benefits of Pulque
Pulque is also very nutritious, unlike distilled drinks such as tequila.

depends on the weather
Cool winter days or evenings - Negra Modelo better flavor but not as refreshing when the weather warms up.
Hot summer days - pacifico -- all day!

Sip a cold Corona with lime from a glass. Then refill the glass with Old English. Repeat as often as necessary for desired affect. Nothing better. My
buddy Dave use to say he drank for the affect not the taste.

My vote goes to Pacifico. I must humbly confess that I personally discovered Pacifico in 1986. Up to that time, it had not touched the tongue of any
other American, and damn few Mexicans. It was the beer of choice on the famous old dive boat out of La Paz, the Baja Explorador. But you rarely saw
it on land. At that time it came in little tiny bottles, you had to drink about eight to first notice a buzz. But the taste, magnifico, Pacifico,
especially with a little salt water still on your lips. And the first one after the last dive of the day - paradise. OK maybe I exaggerate a tad
about discovering it. But I was close.
