Ask Lemmy

If you didn't drink alcohol for multiple years. They all mostly smell and taste like isopropyl or paint thinner. Its kinda funny. Especially wine.

I've always thought the same, then after looking up if there's a gene that makes horseradish taste like medicinal ass I found out there is and guess what it also does for alcohol.

These are inside thoughts.

Matcha is so bitter, like drinking dirt. I do like fruity bubble tea though.

If you like yogurt it's not that different. Both are 'off' and it's just the cultural context that you grow up in that teaches which one is acceptable.

I worked at a natural grocery store in college. I was totally with OP at first, but many a free sample got me into it. If you drink enough of it, you start to enjoy it, much like beer or wine, it's an acquired taste. There was a time where I was drinking 1/day. Now since I'm not around it all the time, I'll get it once every few months, but I still enjoy it very much.

its like soda-lite, if people want probiotics, get in pill form more effective.

Kombucha was what she was reacting to.

Red Bull is marketed as a drug, not as a beverage.

Nobody discusses the scent of cocaine.

Shit literally tastes like medicine soda. If I wanted medicine soda I'd just drink some of that weirdass Fentiman's curiosity cola

I think there was something like you need four experiences to normalize what you don't like. Be it food on kids or coffee or whatnot.

Personally, I don't like coffee either, but for me that includes the smell.

I hated tea and coffee (apart from the smell) until my early thirties… now I drink gallons of both. Turns out I hated the “additives”. Black tea (maybe with a slice of lemon) and black coffee I really enjoy.

Also the smell of Redbull (taurine?) used to make me feel sick but now I can drink it. Weird.

Oh man, I absolutely adore coffee, it’s one of my all time favorite things. It like happy in a glass. But I’m getting old, and I can’t deal with the caffeine like when I was a kid, and decaf is just ruined coffee (not sure if it’s the process or the missing caffeine flavor, but I’ve never tasted a decaf I like).

But the unaltered stuff, I even much plain beans every now and again. Then again, I’ve never bought a can of coffee, my entire life I’ve only drank beans I ground myself, sometimes at the store, but it’s always started as a whole bean.

Not suggesting you try it, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Frankly I’m glad because it leaves more for me :)

I've has some good stuff. Many flavors to choose from.

I'll echo something others have said in reaction to other drinks, but it sounds like you've not had good champagne then.

FFS hops are a preservative that make beer taste terrible. Why would anyone want an extra hoppy beer.

I've been drinking beer for nearly 20 years, and I agree. The only time it tastes good is when I'm craving alcohol. I would never drink it casually for the taste. And given that I'm a Millennial, I've tried pretty much every variety of beer in existence. They're all bad.

Point of order: Deviled eggs aren't a drink.

and the eggs seems to pricey, its not my cup of tea.
