That's What Tequila Does
"That's What Tequila Does" is a song written by John Morgan, John Edwards, Tully Kennedy and Kurt Allison and recorded by American country music artist Jason Aldean. It was released on July 18, 2022 as the third and final single from Aldean's tenth studio album Macon, Georgia.

Content 
The song describes drinking away the sting of a lost love, albeit with tequila and demonstrating how it can lead to thinking in different and dangerous ways, remarking in part, "that's what tequila does."

Critical reception 
Jeffrey Kurtis of Today's Country Magazine wrote, "Though drinking away heartache is certainly nothing new to country music, by shifting the focus of the lyrics to show how it can torture you and trick you into thinking in different and dangerous ways, Aldean provides a fresh perspective to the old idea."

Chart performance 
The song debuted at number 47 on Country Airplay. It would later enter Hot Country Songs at number 41.  Topping out at 77 on the Billboard Hot 100, and 19 on Billboards Hot Country Songs chart, it became the lowest-charting officially-issued single of Aldean's career on either chart. (Several songs that were not released as singles charted lower on Billboard charts as a result of unsolicited airplay.)
