Igual pa' todos

El Tri's song "Igual pa' todos" delves into the culture of heavy drinking, using vivid and often humorous imagery to highlight the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption. The lyrics start with a casual approach to drinking, suggesting that one drink leads to another, and before long, the drinker is fully immersed in a cycle of continuous consumption. The phrase "ya encarrerados ya que" implies a sense of inevitability once the drinking has begun, reflecting a common attitude towards alcohol in social settings.

The song then shifts to a more critical tone, pointing out the physical toll that alcohol takes on the body. The line "el alcohol es digestivo pero tambien corrosivo" underscores the dual nature of alcohol—it may aid digestion in small amounts, but it is also harmful and corrosive in larger quantities. The comparison of alcohol to a substance that kills cockroaches is a stark metaphor, emphasizing the damage it can do to human intestines. This imagery serves as a powerful reminder of the potential health risks associated with heavy drinking.

El Tri also touches on the social aspects of drinking, noting how individuals often gain a reputation for their drinking habits. The lyrics mention that someone who starts as a casual drinker can quickly become known as a heavy drinker, highlighting the slippery slope of alcohol consumption. The song concludes with a poignant message: "si quieres sigue chupando hasta que el mundo se acabe o la sirrosis nos separe," suggesting that continued heavy drinking will either lead to the end of the world or a separation due to cirrhosis, a severe liver disease. This final line serves as a sobering reminder of the long-term consequences of alcohol abuse.
