I read somewhere: Kids think that the adult drink is coffee, teenagers think that the adult drink is beer/wine, adults think that the adult drink is water.
You have to find the right booze for you ... actually you don't have to, just drink whatever
I mean don't get me wrong, I dislike most alcoholic beverage. Just a few strong alcholol and cocktails.
If you try to give me beer (whether and it's a good one or cheap), wine (any), champagne (same), to me they taste bad. Like different bad, but still bad.
For a French girl, except for baguette, I don't like much french stuff after all (no stinky cheese either or any stereotype French weird food)
I stopped drinking alcohol for around 8 months and I must say beer is the most horrible drink out there, I don't see anything redeemable about it.
But I like whiskey, aguardiente, vodka and especially, wine. Still not worth the cancer.
I absolutely hate beer too, but Radler (I think it's called Shandy, or if you translate it directly: Cyclist) is fucking great
I can enjoy a few beers. Sours and stouts mostly.
But cider is just better in like every way. It's crazy that prohibition is still fucking us up a century later.

I've never picked up the taste for beer. It may be certain beers I don't like, but I can't really be bothered to go through all of the beers and work out which ones tastes good especially because I suspect that the ones I actually like will never be on sale.
Personally I'd rather drink cocktails and mixes.
Honestly, that’s one of the better outcomes. Alcohol is pretty dangerous and I’ll applaud someone for abandoning it for any reason.
I was 19 and I was at a friend's place. Her brother came in with a bottle of Smirnoff and offered us a glass. I was like "I'm not old enough" and they respected that. Then they opened it and I was like "did you also bring cupcakes?" It was the booze I was smelling. I asked for a glass. They told me to sip it. By the time they were done talking the glass was empty.
I look back on that night now and just laugh. I don't drink anymore.
It was always ass, bet we all just picked cheapest shits. Now, with own ID, You can taste good things, and compare... then compare more, then compare more. Find better, more suited for personal liking.
Also... oh afaik You're youngling, but recently, so many new things happens, all in and around alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and sodas and sparkles and such... it's only harder and harder to pick the best one... but also, many should fit at least good. GLHF finding Your fav (and enjoy it, until they stop making it, they will, only to start the seek again).
Yes. Drinking literal poison is indeed... Ass.
I still drink sometimes, but at this point the most prominent effect is usually a headache, so it doesn't feel worth it very often
The culture around it=> yes. 100%.
You know how they portray the local sportsbar in soapsseries as "just the good ol guys hanging out"?
Now think of what that looks like irl.
Not the same is it? Oftentimes it looks more like a bunch of cavemen inching towards a riot. And if it isn't that it's probably very sexist talk or such.
Aside from a few stupid years where I was trying to silence God and my inner turmoil rather then admitting that one wasn't real (to me, you do you if that keeps you going) and the other was me trying to break free. I cut down alcohol as far as, maybe one or two drinks on occasion (being once every two/three months or so). And even that is ... meh.
And a big part of that is, the feeling of hiding. Being drunk is just another escape from being truly yourself. Sure, you get the giggles and whatnot but at my age that feels very empty. And disingenous.
What I still hate is "how about you? A beer or some champagne?" And oftentimes I'll just have the one drink and slowly work my through it eventhough...I kinda don't want to. But I also don't wanna deal with the "oh come on, just have one it won't hurt".
I've seen some people go down some very dark paths because of alcohol. And that alcohol is usually there to patch up some old wounds.
I'm starting to sound like an AA member here but you get the gist of it.
In my country at least, the talking always turns sexist, no matter what. It's just a matter of time and I fucking hate it.
And it's so normalized, you get yelled at for having a problem with it. I hate it so fucking much...
From my experience, men drinking in pubs is a baaaaad environment...and it's not the alcohol, although it does make it worse. It's part of the reason why I stay the fuck away.
Anyway, sorry for the rant :P
I hate this country so fucking much...
Man without booze would not be the person I am today and that is both a good and bad thing. Overall I like alcohol and I feel now days my relationship with it is much better than in was in my youth.
Can't relate, fuck I love having a glass of whiskey in a thumping queer bar
It is weird being in university and not drinking or taking any substances. Especially since my university program has a lot of culture around drinking.
I feel lucky, I see this sort of sentiment of "it's hard on your social life not drinking" fairly often, but I've gone my whole life thus far without so much as tasting the stuff, and don't think I've ever had anyone push back on me in any significant way when Ive expressed my preferences on the matter. I take it as a sign my current circle of friends is a good one and that I'm fortunate to have ended up with them.
Wine tastes like how feet smell.
I don't know if it's a genetic thing (like the cilantro thing for some people), but I've tried fine wines and also the cheapest box wine, and it's the same thing for me.
Red, white and rose? Or one in particular? I feel like those would have to be considerably different smelling feet. I have never tasted that note but I'm on the look out for it next time I have a glass lol
The trick is to become addicted so that the bitter, solvent taste triggers the brain chemical anyway.
I know it wouldn't go well with the existing culture around it but I am so incredibly for making it illegal for general grocery stores to sell any alcohol above 5%.
Alcohol is a drug. And drugs shouldn't be available to anyone as readily as bread. Make it only be available to specialist stores and increase taxes on alcohol to hell and back! (unless it's pure ethanol... Please leave some slack for us hobbyist chemists and tinkerers ;-;)
I mean I get your point but also it just introduces an inconvenience for normal people, and I don't think it really decreases alcohol abuse. People who are genuine addicts will just go where the alcohol is, might as well make it easy for them to pick up the groceries at the same time, otherwise they might just not do that.
The point of making it harder to acquire is to prevent people who aren't addicted from becoming addicted in the first place. Once people reach addiction status they will usually find a way to get ahold of supply even if barriers are in place
Okay but we know that addiction is a loneliness issue not really a substance issue. When people are isolated and repressed/suppressed, they are far more likely to get addicted. Community is the key, and of course it isn't a panacea to addiction, but it sure does prevent a lot of it, and helps people out of it.
Vice taxes are a form of regressive taxation so I can't say I'm with you there.
