You sip brandy or a fine wine not tequila.

In Mexico good tequila is sipped in tall tiny glasses
Is Mexico one of those countries where they siesta in the middle of the day? That would explain the sipping, since you'd have to go back to work eventually.
I think everyone agrees to sip a fine wine... well... except for this one uncle of mine... can you buy "fine" wine in a gallon jug?
As with tequila, I know many people that do not sip brandy. It's all in the context of the drink really. Anything with the word "shot" in it really makes people want to get it down as quick as possible.
There are also social drinkers and those who drink to get drunk. By a social drinker, I don't mean someone who doesn't drink often, but a person who's only goal of the night is to do some quality chillin' with his/her friends, while getting drunk might be a side effect. The other end of the scale is people who just want to get fĂșcked up, regardless of who they are around.
A friend of mine went to Mexico a short time ago. In one of the cities he went to, they had a beer drinking donkey tourist attraction.
Basically, he paid $5.00 (or the Mixican equivelant) to watch a donkey drink beer until it passed out. Yippee, the drinking world in a nutshell: Social drinkers watching a drunk donkey. Life makes sense again.
