It is a case of a legislator (who receives sizable contributions, over $110K from the beverage alcohol wholesalers since taking office) dabbling in an industry that they may not fully understand and so have most likely been provided bad or inaccurate information by a single industry stakeholder when this legislation will affect many and should attract input from all members of the industry.

Matthew McConaughey Enters Super-Premium Tequila, Launching Pantalones Brand
Actor Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila have launched Pantalones Organic Tequila, a new venture co-founded with spirits entrepreneur Andrew Chrisomalis. Pantalones is made from 100% blue agave and is certified organic by the USDA. “The north star of the brand is to bring fun back to Tequila,” Chrisomalis, co-founder and executive chairman of Pantalones, told SND, adding that the expectation is to sell in the tens of thousands of cases the first year, with the ability to scale up quickly from there. Chrisomalis previously led Davos Brands (known for Aviation Gin) before it was acquired by Diageo for $610 million in 2020.
The super-premium Pantalones is launching with Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo Tequilas priced at $40, $45, and $50, respectively, produced at a certified organic distillery in Amatitán, Jalisco. All three releases are bottled at 40% abv. Pantalones Reposado is aged for nine months and the Añejo for 15. Initially, the brand will be available in five markets—Texas, California, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada—with a national rollout planned for 2024.
The McConaugheys are owners and investors in the business, Chrisomalis noted, and “have been integral in virtually every aspect of the brand and the business in terms of the name Pantalones and in terms of the liquid,” he said. “We see it as upscale but at the same time a casual and relaxed brand.”

In another study, they found that people who followed what the researchers defined as a moderate Mediterranean drinking plan—choosing red wine, drinking with meals, and spreading consumption over the course of the week—had a lower risk of mortality than people who abstained from alcohol. Martínez-González noted that additional recent studies have found that light to moderate alcohol consumption lowered the relative risks for premature mortality, and mortality from cancer and cardiovascular disease.
