Good point! Really love that you put up this topic!
In my opinion! Alcohol tastes real bad until you get used to it and create all those small details in your mind why it could or does taste good in some way or the other ^^
I sort of assume people swallow it down for the effects rather than savor the taste. However, beer drinkers are still a mystery to me considering they're not high in ethanol like rum or whiskey.
Yes, it is for the most part. For me whiskey and rum was an acquired taste. Vodka was easier despite still being sharp and bitter. Depends a lot on your taste
I think it is acquired, I still don't like wine to this day, beer tastes like piss, rum is probably my favorite after champagne. Vodka is too strong, I can't handle it.
I don't like to force myself to eat or drink things I don't like, whether they're good for me or not. For example, I don't like avocado but I don't eat it even though it is healthy.
I can't take any of the ones you listed straight up, I gotta have it mixed with something. I would say for stuff like that its an acquired taste. For me, if it has alcohol in it, if it does not taste good, im not interested.
Yes, best way to experience it is don't drink the cheap bottom shelf trash. Mixed drinks are probably your best bet to try it and building a tolerance.
I've tried one or two but I've never liked the taste, I don't get the appeal. I don't plan to try any of the other ones either, can't imagine they'd be any better.

I think so but one great note is that quality dictates taste and price generally follows both of those
N. b. Given I'm about to buy a bottle of 26 year old single malt for £400, I follow that fully

From what I've heard, yes. That's what everyone I know has told me. (Though, once they get hooked, they're hooked.)
Yeah I don't think social drinking or drinking once in a while is so bad but getting addicted to it is really dangerous.
@Cherry234 Right. The problem is that it's a slippery slope, and the line between not being addicted and being addicted is grey and somewhat blurred.
I’ve been drinking it for years and I still always dislike it 🤷🏽

The trick is to simply be fast. Throw in 5 shots in a minute or 20 and taste doesn’t matter anymore
Oh ok. Interesting. But I don't want to get drunk though.
If I’m not tryna be drunk, I certainly don’t drink 😅

Yes most alcohol is an acquired taste. I've been serving it since I was 18 and I still cannot stand much of it.
Well they shouldn't be tasting good, because then you drink to much. Most drinks for the buzz not because of the taste.
Only taste I had to acquire was beer. I hated it the first time I tried it. Fruity drinks I can down like they're water.
It is but there are some fruity drinks that taste good right away. You may try Archers Peach Scnapps.
I don’t know about all alcohols but I know wine is an acquired taste, at least red wine is an acquired taste
Yes it is. I love the taste of most drinks but hate being drunk so I just sip them to enjoy the taste without having to get drunk.
That's great if you don't like the taste. Personally, I DO like it and I tend to drink a bit more than I should... LOL
Mixed drinks taste a whole lot better. Pretty much every alcohol tastes bad when it’s straight.
I have alcohol about twice a uear without getting drunk. When I was in mu early 20s, getting drunk was every other weekend.
I dont like alcohol or any other drugs or medication trips.

I'm Irish. I was born loving whisky. On ice or with club soda.
