"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" is a song recorded by American country music artist Joe Nichols. It was released in August 2005 as the first single from Nichols' album III and the second number 1 hit of his career. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
The song was co-written by Gary Hannan and John Wiggins, who, along with his sister Audrey, performed in the mid-1990s as the country duo John & Audrey Wiggins.
The song's narrator discusses how his wife carelessly misplaces her clothes when she drinks tequila.
Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it a negative rating. He summed up his review by calling it "mind-numbingly inane." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic in his review of the album, discussed the song favorably saying that while it has a "silly name and would seem like a throwaway novelty" it is genuinely funny. He goes on to say that Nichols "delivers it with sly humor and a low-key swagger that shows more character, as a vocalist, than he did on his previous albums."
The song debuted at number 59 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs on the week ending August 6, 2005.
