Responsible Drinking

NIX18 — geen 18, geen alcohol. No alcohol under 18. It's the law, and we enforce it at every step.

Our commitments

  • We never sell to anyone under 18. You confirm your age with every order, and the deliverer checks ID at your door before handing over your parcel (Dutch Alcoholwet).
  • Our marketing is for adults only. We follow the Dutch Advertising Code for Alcoholic Beverages (Reclamecode voor Alcoholhoudende Dranken): our website has an age gate, our ads carry the NIX18 logo, and our social and email campaigns are directed exclusively at people aged 18 and over.
  • No irresponsible promotions. We never offer alcohol for free and never discount alcoholic beverages by more than 25% (art. 2a Alcoholwet).

Enjoy tequila the right way

Tecán is made to be sipped and savoured — quality over quantity. Geniet, maar drink met mate — enjoy, but drink in moderation.

  • The Dutch Health Council advises: don't drink alcohol, or in any case no more than one standard glass per day.
  • Don't drink if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Never drink and drive — 0% behind the wheel.
  • Alcohol does not mix with medication, work, or sports. When in doubt, skip the drink.
  • A standard serving of spirits in the Netherlands is 35 ml at 35–40% ABV — roughly the same amount of alcohol as a glass of beer or wine.
