The question is: which is more fun, drink Bud/Coors/some-other-version
-of-funny-tasting-water on the 4th of July, or Tecate/Dos Equis/Negro 
Modelo/Bohemia/Corona etc. on Cinco de Mayo? (In San Antonio's (55% of
whose population are Hispanic) Cinco de Mayo preparations the beautiful
red of Tecate cans was shimmering all over the place; Tecate: the Choice
of a Plebeian!) I can't really say, I've never been here in early July.
