Yes, alcohol generally tastes bad until your brain gets re-wired to associate that taste with the ensuing addictive feedback. Anyone who says they think booze tastes gross simply has not consumed enough of it to create those neural pathways.
It’s the same reason people crave the way smoking burns your throat and lungs a tiny bit. The first time you do it, it’s disgusting and painful. The thousandth time you do it, the exact same mild discomfort is actually extremely cathartic and even comforting.
Who orders beer online wtf
It’s 2023. Everything is sold online.
Bitter
Yes anon, high fructose corn syrup is not a normal taste
Yea, alcohol tastes kinda disgusting, it always has some weird aftertaste that reminds me of when i accidentally get some shampoo in my mouth. Like non-alcoholic versions of the same drink doesnt have that soapy aftertaste.
Beer is kinda bad even without alcohol though, I have only tried one Latvian cherry beer that I liked. Wine also has that soapy aftertaste except for the wine that people just brew at home in Georgia, I loved that wine but that’s not really something I can get from a store.
I stopped drinking 8 or so years ago. I was quite the heavy weekend drinker. The longer i didn’t drink the more i realised just how disgusting it actually is. Pretty sure that’s why people who never drank until they are 25 or older necer bother even starting. I started drinking when i was like 14, like most of my friends and we got used to it.
Nah. I had my first drink at 25. In my case, I learned I hated the taste of vodka, but love the taste of whiskey… which was too strong at first.
I liked Jack&Cokes from first try, and moved on to neat whiskey not just getting used to the taste, but as my palette was able to adjust to the harshness of it.
Don’t drink IPA then!
