When I was drinking, most alcohol tasted good to me. Even now when I have my monthly drink, most of them still taste kinda good. I think some of us are just kinda broken
Alcoholism, and the biggest risk factor of which is liking the taste of alcohol, is a positive evolutionary pressure to a certain extent cuz y’all kind of slutty TBH
You’re not broken, you’re selected for!
Now I’m just slutty and sober. Well alcohol sober, I took mushrooms today…
The system works
The big reason why I don’t drink isn’t because I don’t like being drunk (love it), but because I just cannot stand the taste of alcohol
Frozen fruit, rum, ice and a blender
Sherry paired with a cheesecake is absolutely divine.
I remember having a lot of fun making ice cream floats with anisette, too (though it’s much harder to strike the right balance between the two just right).
All y’all are talking about IPAs and whatnot when the real king of beer is a heart stout! Hell yeah, I wanna get drunk on chocolate and coffee!
Until the next morning when you realize youve drank 4000 calories and have the worst hangover
While I do like lagers and pale ales (sans IPAs, I guess), I thought I just didn’t really like beers (and that taste wasn’t being acquired, despite my earnest try) because I started drinking at the height of the IPA hype.
First stout I ever had absolutely blew me away.
Like most fermented foods, alcohol is absolutely an acquired taste and if you haven’t acquired it yet then I’d say you’re not missing out on much of anything. I’m still not at the point where IPAs and hard liquor taste like anything except poison to me.
Yeah most IPAs aren’t great. Hard liquor depends, whiskey can be good but most aren’t that amazing, vodka is bad on its own, gin is almost all bad, rum is mid, other stuff really depends and most of it’s better with something actually nice. I have a love hate relationship with a bottle of mead I got for my birthday last year (it’s 50% but I kinda love meads). IPA should taste like the cans look tbh, they always have the silliest designs then I get let down by it just being IPA again.
Bro I will metaphorically MURDER a box of Moscato from the local package store because it really does taste like the left picture
This is like saying all soup tastes bad.
Soup isn’t poisonous, but I’m glad we’ve decided you can’t make memes about your personal experience unless it’s universal.
Depends
Cheapest beer is sulphur + urine. Next step you get actual beer. After that you have craft beer…and that’s mixed bag. Every beer with “light” in name is piss. Either commit and drink 0%, which taste less beery but better, or drink normal but a bit pricier.
Cheapest whiskey is vodka with coloring and less %. There is no good cheapish whiskey, but if you drink for taste and occasionally, one bottle can last long enough to justify expense.
I don’t drink vodka, every type I drank was just a hammer to the brain without anything taste wise. I mean dunno, not my kinda fun.
Drinks are fun but, ultimately, all they do is try to mask alcohol…and non-alcoholic versions taste better xD
With everything else I have little to no experience, and I never aim to get hammered so these are my blindspots xD
Just drink better quality booze
Good vodka tastes good neat.
I’m with you on this! Provided it’s shaken with some ice fist, it can be a really nice drink.
Good vodka tastes of nothing
It’s the most boring of drinks
It’s the one drink I avoid
There’s plenty of cocktails that taste like the left, you just have to be willing to leave your toxic masculinity behind and order a drink that’s “for girls.”
also anyone else think it’s kinda fucked that the drinks “for girls” often seem like they’re trying to hide the taste of alcohol entirely?
I’ve heard plenty of people say this to me and no one has been able to back it up. Drinks that attempt to hide the taste of alcohol would be better without alcohol in them in the first place.
Give me a fucking capri sun over a cocktail any day
I mean look, I don’t get any positive effects from drinking. Usually I just think “why did I pay for something expensive that tastes bad?” So maybe I’d change my tune if it actually made me feel happy or relaxed or whatever, but from a flavor standpoint alcohol just sucks.
Even if you liked the taste of alcohol look me dead in the eye and tell me it doesn’t clash flavor wise with basically everything. Bitter citrus flavors work okay and the same with juniper or other herbs like in gin, but seriously why do you even want to drink something that tastes like a tree in the first place?
Ah yes I want to drink the taste of bread but I prefer it when it has inescapable notes of literal poison and also the taste of the smell of weed (technically hops).
Ah yes gotta love that this other drink mostly just burns my throat but also has the subtle taste of wood. Gotta get the high end stuff though so that also has flavor notes that taste like a peat bog.
Here have some lemonade but worse. Don’t like that? how about this other cocktail that is peach lemonade (but also worse).
Do you know what else we should make worse? Chocolate milk. (Baileys)
God this is an insufferable rant.
It’s OK to not like something and respect others do.
How whiskey tastes:
This is such a weird thread. I love the taste.
Give me a petey whisky that tastes like a campfire and my whole evening is improved.
like your drunk dad hitting you with planks
Good ol’ days
This plus fire.
I like to call my whisky collection “liquid camp fire”
When I tell people I don’t drink they sometimes think I used to be an alcoholic or something. I just think it tastes like shit lol
