Friends and family start to disown you because you keep hurling because as a Latino, you’re expected to know how to down seven shots of Don Julio.

2. You’re reminded of stupid sh*t you did the time before.

Like that tattoo on your trasero that says Carmen <3.

3. You’re always under surveillance.

Your family and best friends hire a babysitter, or a drone,  so they can monitor your drinking.

Like Kombucha because its the vegan beer, right? Or a Corona Light with a lime.

5. They take commemorative portraits.

Your picture of all the pranks they did to you while you passed out is hung over the fireplace next to your quince picture like a trophy.

If you’re a Mexican man and receive a text telling you to exercise, don’t panic.  It’s just the feds.

This is not a hoax.  The feds are maybe — probably, definitely — watching you and they know you’re not moving your a$$. You see, the texts are supposed to encourage you to put down the taco and get your booty in shape, because “Mexican-American men report high rates of inactivity and related health conditions,” says the National Institute of Health.

It’s all part of a study (yes, they’re using you for a good cause) to get Latino men who “have limited access to public health interventions promoting physical activity” to get healthier. The low-cost strategy — or texts — will cost around $400,000, but if it works, they’ll expand it to help others.

So, come on, drop down and give the feds 10, ‘cause you got a lot of catching-up to do.
