Opposite here. My uncle's girlfriend, at the time, saw me asking for "soda" at some event. Might've been somebody's company picnic. She convinced my mother to let me have a sip, hoping and expecting a giggle at the "bitter face" reaction. That didn't happen and Mom had to keep an eye on her "sodas" the rest of the day.

I'll drink anything but beer just about. I think beer is gross, but I love hard alcohols and sometimes mixed drinks like piña coladas.
