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

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


...it changes the flavour. Rookie mistake thar kiddo.

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. You simply have not drunk much of anything, I mean how old are you? 15?

Every alcoholic drink has a trace of what the last one tasted like. Surprisingly (or maybe not...) this is the alcohol that they put in the drink to make it an alcoholic drink. People don't like that.

From what I've tasted so far in my young life - hell no.Would you really say you could taste any similarities between Whiskey, Vodka, Beer and Prosecco etc. just because they all contain alcohol? Hell.No.

The only one out of those that I have tasted is Beer. But, I've had Champagne and Wine too. I can pick out similarities.


So you have drunk very little yet still think that your opinion counts for something? Wut? Sorry, but no, it doesn't.

What's that got to do with anything? That's a) illegal b) unregulated thus dangerous b) can'tbe done in moderation c) only done to get high, not because of flavour etc.

Not being funny, but that is a really immature stance to take on alcohol.

"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

You don't drink it for the flavor.

You have very good pallet then... To me most beer have a distinct taste. I like beer but can't stand wine. Yet I try differen wines knowing I might find one I like.

Well we'll see from their replies if they are kids or not as I said the comments not to be condescending, but I do actually want to know how old they are as I have not heard comments like that for a really long time.
