Joe Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Just seems weird. It's designed for people that want to get drunk, but dont want to taste it at all. Shit, I'd take a Mike's first over that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I thought the real appeal of stuff like White Claw is that it's 100 Calories a can, so you know exactly how many extra Calories you're consuming from your booze. You can have three of them and take in the same amount of Calorie as a single craft IPA. Sometimes you just want to be able to have something in your hand without going totally overboard.

CitizenVectron Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 I'm coming in with a hot take: all alcohol tastes like communion wine. I say this as someone who doesn't drink and hates the taste of alcohol, and therefore my biggest experience was as a child at church, and I associate everything with that taste. No I wasn't molested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wasn't molested I grew up Muslim and didn't drink at all until I was nearly 20 years old. Alcohol tastes like shit at first - it's like caviar - an acquired taste. It took me awhile to get into alcohol, and even longer to find good ones, but once you get used to it it opens up whole new worlds. It's not necessary for you to get into it (healthier, certainly) but it definitely has its benefits, and I recommend anyone try to get past the beginning (like the bad opening chapters in an otherwise good video game) to get to the good stuff.

What the fuck does this even mean? Plenty of things need time to age before they taste good. Somehow whiskey doesn't get a pass. This is a terrible take from an often smart poster. This all started because I said I like good scotch. I didn't even know that was a controversial viewpoint! Any classy gentleman drinks good scotch. I love tequila, etc. too. I'm honestly first and foremost a sake fan because I'm a Japanophile but you get a good scotch and I will drink that shit all night and have a great level of drunk that's calm but fun. Expensive scotch with thought put into it makes a fantastic gift too. Whenever I get a new fantastic, expensive bottle of scotch, I read the description the bottle gives, load 4K drone videos done to cool music on Youtube of the place the scotch is from, close my eyes, and drink. I'm telling you, you can taste the atmosphere of each area it's from. The energy and vibe. This goes for any good food/alcohol of course, each brings its own experience. Scotch and sake are simply my personal favorites. Edit: New thread title is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue here is we don't have enough alcoholics since plenty in here said they don't drink/don't like the taste/drink alochol but only when they can hide the taste of the alochol part. I actually like the taste of scotch (and most alochol, not really a beer guy though due to calories/volume). I drink it and it goes down smoooooth. But it took training, time, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, scotch hasn't been an art form or anything for those who are fans of it for decades, meaning there must be nothing to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
