then why is there even alcohol in these in the first place ? if it doesn't taste of alc, then I don't see a reason for it to be in there - personal opinion |
Because without the alcohol they wouldn't taste like they do...
Too many people don't realise that it can be used for flavouring purposes just like sugar or salt. When you add salt to something it can improve the flavour rather than just making it taste salty. Same with alcohol.

I can taste alcohol in cocktails with similar juice ratio to those. You can't because you drink. Who are you to say that alcohol drinking is superior to not? What if you just make those cocktails without alcohol and have awesome fruit juice without any possibility of being drunk? Contradiction: these hypothetical people hate the taste of alohol but you're not OK having them drink the same thing without alcohol because they'd miss out on the taste. |
I rarely drink so I know what I'm talking about; try the above cocktails.
It is not a case of it being superior or not. That attitude needs to be quashed as it's absurd. Too many people think that alcohol inherently tastes the same which is absurd whilst also having had very little tasting experience. If someone told you they don't like fruit and yet had only ever tasted an apple and a banana, would it be wrong to say "well the rest don't taste like that so why the sweeping generalisation?"
You can drink and not get drunk very easily. Alcohol is a key ingredient in those recipes. What you have said is akin to leaving out salt or sugar in a recipe. Why do people always link drinking to getting drunk? They are not the same thing and it further shows the level of ignorance that still exists around alcoholic drinks.
