People who have children often cut back alcoholic consumption—at least in front of them. “This margarita tastes like I don’t even have kids” (that is, good and strong) is a jocular saying that has ben printed on GIFs. The saying was posted on Twitter by Kate Hall on August 1, 2014.
Other alcoholic drinks are sometimes substituted for “margarita.” “This wine tastes like I don’t even have kids” was posted on Twitter on November 6, 2015.

Margarita so good you can briefly imagine you’re still young and free of any real responsibility. We love our kids but the occasional break from reality is never a bad thing. Tequila is a good facilitator for conjuring up that feeling.
