I don't like the taste of beer in general (yeah, what kind of Aussie am I?) but I'm more into the sweet drinks:

- Whiskeys (JDs and coke)
- Ciders (Rekorderlig)
- Liqueurs (Baileys)

Though I did have some kind of peach nectar and wheat beer from The Lowenbrau German bier hall in Sydney once, and I liked the taste of it...

sweet drinks make me vomit.

So I drink my JD straight.

As for beer I only like a few like cascade premium or boags premium.

Yeah I have a really good sense of taste and smell and I can taste the alcohol in even the most fruitiest of drinks and it turns my stomach. I can't stand to drink more then a 4oz serving of even Schnopoce which has the lowest alcohol content and sweetest flavor of all drinks. I had my aunt and uncle bring out some of their best wines and I couldn't stomach them much to their dismay. (There were some very expensive ones in that.)

The only alcohol I can stand is 250 prof wiskey because it kills my sense of taste at the first shot. That being said I haven't had a drink in about a decade.


I think you mean 150 proof

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

 

I don't like the taste of coffee.


Neither do I. Point?

Who the hell drinks alcoholic beverages for the taste? You're supposed to drink alcohol beverages for the effects not the flavor. That's why 99% of people never buy non-alcoholic beers, for example.

Congratulations for making drinkers look like nothing more than rambunctious juveniles.

Many people drink for the taste. No one buys a $500 bottle of whiskey to get drunk. 


You sure there aren't tastier non-alcoholic drinks you can buy with $500? Just saying though. I got one, chocolate milk.

Ugh I drink, but only to socialize or on the rare occasions that I go out. Alcohol just might be an acquired taste, but generally all of them possess this bitter burning after taste that make my appetite disappear for a day or two after a night out. This also includes beer, I don't find the taste or the smell of beer particularly pleasant either. I do socialize and have a hot girlfriend just in case some body might try to slap an introverted stereotype on me.


o.O You shouldn't generalize like that. In Germany alone we have hundreds of different beers who taste completely different. Not every beer tastes bitter :D


All beers generally taste the same, some are just less shitty then others.


We have beer that tastes like smoked ham (Rauchbier) - your opinion is invalid :D

Depends on personal preferences. The advantage with both wine and whiskey is the complexities involved in the flavours.

Chocolate milk is just chocolate + milk, whereas a good wine can have hints of oat, vanilla, wild berry and other flavours all delicately crafted into a drink. Plus if you have ever tasted good Parisian chocolate, the industrial crap used quickly loses it's appeal. Give the dark chocolate by Michel Cluizel a try and you'll see what I mean. Or Valrhona.

He drinks throughout his routine and he explains very well why people drink. It's funny but true.

As for drinking for the effects, I would never do that. Some people seem to think I would be a funny drunk. I would be on the onset but being drunk removes your inhibitions and I have to work at keep myself from reaching out and beating people to death for being stupid. I would be a very violent drunk and that is another reason why I do not drink, but this I only came to realize in the past decade, I didn't originally drink because I cant stomach it, now I only have more reason not to do so.

You don't drink something you don't like the taste of, correct?
