(First, sorry about the slow blogging today. I've been out and about doing interviews.)

Apparently, the Forest Service saw fit (though changed its mind) to put out a Labor Day warning suggesting that Tecate drinking was an indicator that said drinkers might be drug traffickers camping out in national parks.

It's hip enough to have found its way into Hellboy II: The Golden Army. It is not a useful indicator of drug trafficking activity.
