Yes, there may be some confusion as to the differences between a Classic Chelada and a Michelada, but who really cares?  These Mexican drinks became popular back in the 1940’s and 1950’s and the people from the country of origin swear by their curative hangover powers.  Hey, Bartender!  I’ll take tres, por favor.  Happy Weekend!!!
