Nah, just drink quicker
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
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool drink.
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!
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.
Until the next morning when you realize youve drank 4000 calories and have the worst hangover
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
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?
For a very long time, the Cosmopolitan was considered a "man's drink"

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.
Definitely for the better that you don't like it. I enjoyed it from the word go and oh the money wasted and stupid shit I have done while shitfaced.
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).
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.
Respectfully, entirely disagree on gin; it's made with flowers.
But β especially if you like citrus β the real joy of gin is the way you can play with flavors in many of its cocktails.
Entirely agreed on IPAs, though; there's so many more interesting beers out there.
Asking as you're willing to have a (1) drink with folks socially, I'd say that's very true.
People who abstain entirely are not seen favorably by most people.
Bro I will metaphorically MURDER a box of Moscato from the local package store because it really does taste like the left picture
Moscato is adult grape juice, it's so good
I will literally murder a box of moscato!
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
That's funny, when I tell people I don't drink they ask me if I just don't like the taste or if I am a "health nut" or something. I'm actually an alcoholic.

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
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

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.
My dad let me sip his beer as a kid. It was disgusting. Never did acquire a taste for alcohol.
Opposite here. My uncle's girlfriend, at the time, saw me asking for "soda" at some event. Might've been somebody's company picnic. She convinced my mother to let me have a sip, hoping and expecting a giggle at the "bitter face" reaction. That didn't happen and Mom had to keep an eye on her "sodas" the rest of the day.

I once tried a coke with vodka, it tasted better without the vodka and im not even a fan of coke.

I think you're drinking the wrong alcohol for your palate.
Definitely but Iβd feel bad telling them that. They can just not drink and thatβs a pretty good choice, honestly.
