Yes, they do. They all taste, to someone NOT USED TO alcohol, strongly OF pure alcohol.

With time and acquired taste they begin not to. But that is why people say that.

And let's be clear, "missing out on" is a terrible argument. You shouldn't care or put pressure on others to drink. If they want to they will do it.

Also fun fact, the picture of "neat" alcohol you linked actually has methanol added to stop it being drinkable, so people don't buy lab alcohol for cheap.

No they don't. Many cocktails don't taste of alcohol e.g. Cheeky V and Blue Lagoon.

"Missing out on" is the truth. You could be missing out on something you enjoy the taste of through nothing but sheer ignorance mixed with an equal part of arrogance.

You're on a holy quest to get people drinking or something?


Just educating the masses. Drinking doesn't have to mean getting drunk, it can just be the same as enjoying a good coffee. 



I agree with both of your points. Also, the amount of alcohol in it will change the tastes and you can add as much as you like to fit your taste. I love jack and cokes but too many bar tenders put way too much jack in to the point that is all I can taste. I also rarely get drunk
