I was disinfecting stuff at work during COVID and told my coworker I liked the scent in the cleaner. She told me it was just 60% ethanol.
I have since quit drinking.
Bonus:
Same. Like 90% sure Soju is the reason i exist.
Alcoholic drinks that actually taste good:
Wine
Margarita
Daqueri
White Russian
Tequila with salt and lime.
Mimosa
Sangria
I don't like the feeling of being drunk, though. I would love if there was a non alcoholic margarita that tasted like an actual margarita with the tequila and triple sec in it. Just having the mix without the booze doesn't taste quite right.
Good list!
I'd like to add a couple cocktails that taste good while still tasting like the alcohol that goes in it:
Sherry Cobbler
Ti'Punch
Jungle Bird
Fairy Sugar Mama (if you don't hate licorice)
Mint Julep
Daqueri
You mean Daiquiri?
I don’t think there would be a craft beer scene if people didn’t think alcohol tasted good.
I quit drinking and now I drink a lot of non-alcoholic beer
Non-alcoholic beer has certainly improved lately.
Very relatable. There are a couple I enjoy, but I don't drink them for the taste. I drink them for the effects.
Cocktails are much more enjoyable. Plenty of those I would drink just for the taste. Though, I'm not likely to get a mocktail. Haven't seen one yet that isn't overpriced.
Sometimes I make mocktails at home. e.g. pineapple juice and coconut milk is a winning combo even without booze, and Rock Shandy (lemon-lime soda with Angostura Bitters) is very refreshing.
There’s always that relatable xkcd
This was such a surprisingly good show. Definitely one of my top picks of last season.
Definitely an acquired taste. Somehow, I picked up a taste for straight high-proof spirits but still can't stand hoppy beer.
I'm one of those rare people whose body processes alcohol differently. I don't get drunk. I don't get tipsy. I can't even get a buzz. To me, all alcohol just tastes gross, and there's no fun side effects to enjoy while drinking it. So... I'm the permanent DD every time my friends and family go out to drink.
Does your BAL stay low too? That would be a fun trick to pull if you enjoyed it to go drinking with friends just to remain DD.
No, I still register as having alcohol in my system. I just don't experience the fun effects of it.
Darn. That’s too bad.
Counterpoint: no it doesn't.
The taste isn't the point, the erasing the rest of the worrisome world for a few hours IS
Speak for yourself, I love the taste much more than getting drunk! Though having a tasty beverage is also a good distraction.
This child has been drinking the wrong alcohol
I think Guinness tastes pretty nice
We used to have to insists that it does taste good to us, but now we can just point at the proliferation of na beer and mocktails
