Given the current state of things, we’re not afraid to say that National Tequila Day — Friday, July 24 — is the goofy food holiday we need right now. After all, a bracing shot or sweet-and-sour margarita both sound like great ways to take the edge off.

These local establishments agree, and they're ready to help you celebrate in puro SA fashion.

The Squeezebox will be offering special curbside to-go items July 24 and 25 to help customers celebrate National Tequila Day at home. Each day will feature a unique menu, including a special food item from chef Jacob Gonzales, El Tequileño cocktails — frozen El Tequileño Palomas, anyone? — and beer specials with free Twang accompaniments. Availability will be on a first come, first served basis — no pre-orders — and the events will be cashless. The Squeezebox, 2806 N. St. Mary's St., Facebook.com/TheSqueezebox.
