The Story Behind No Thinkin' Drinkin' and Cervezo™
In 2026, I was in Mexico with my wife Jackie.
My son Jordan came for a week .
I'd already created the word Cervezo™ and owned the domain Cervezo.com, a play on the Spanish word cerveza.
I was studying the Mexican beverage market, looking at tequila brands, packaging, and consumer habits.
One evening Jordan and I were watching a hockey game, both enjoying cold cerveza. Between periods, Jackie reminded us that the garbage needed to go out and we needed ice.
So Jordan and I started walking to OXXO.
As we walked, I told him about something I'd noticed the day before.
While Jackie was shopping, I wasn't looking at the shelves.
I was watching the customers.
People kept coming in and buying ready-to-drink cocktails.
Not one or two, lots of them.
Workers ..Tourists .. Locals.
They were paying 30, 40, even 50 pesos a can
and walking right back out.
No bottles .. No mix .. No Mess .. No measuring
No ice buckets .. No fuss
Just grab it and go.
I said to Jordan:
"People aren't even buying beer, pop, or
hard liquor and mix anymore."
Then I laughed and said:
"They're becoming lazy drinkers."
A second later the real thought hit me.
I stopped walking .. Looked at Jordan.
And said:
" It's No Thinkin' Drinkin'."
We both laughed.
Then I stopped again.
"Now that's a country song."
Before we even reached OXXO, the first verse
already appeared in my head:
♫ Pickin' up a six-pack, sun settin' low
Tequila is my starter, Cervezo for the road ♫
The rest came fast.
What started as an observation became a phrase.
The phrase became a hook.
The hook became a song.
And by the end of the day,
No Thinkin' Drinkin' was finished.
The funny part is that the song wasn't really about drinking
It was about simplicity.
No mixin' .. No Messin'
No measuring .. No planning
Just living in the moment.
The same idea that made RTDs explode in popularity
became the heart of the song.
And it all started on a short walk to OXXO
for a bag of ice and a stop at the garbage bin.
