Do you enjoy the taste of alcohol?

The big question: do you drink alcohol because you enjoy it, or because of its side-effects?

I've got to admit: after years drinking tequila, vodka, whiskey, gin and more spirits than you can count, the only alcoholic drink that I'll take not only for the effect, but because of the taste, is beer. The only 'type' of beer I dislike is Malzbier, due to its sickening sweetness. There are some drinks that I enjoy savoring every few months, like a glass of Whiskey or a Martini, but they're rare and far in between.

Yes.

Hell no.

No I quite despise it unfortunately.

Not really. I don't drink it straight very often and usually mix it. Spiced rum and coke is a nice simple combination.

If I had a chance to try some good ones, then, yea, probably. But thanks to the bullsh*t 21 drinking age here, I can only get sh*tty vodka. l4dak47

you mad son?!

Yep

No, Ive tried many different brands of beer and dont like the taste of any of them. Dont really like the taste of any alcohol. I do like getting drunk, last time I got drunk was a few weeks when I drank half a bottle of vodka, the next morning sucked.

Yes, I love it if it's good alcohol.

Craft beers, a fine single-malt Islay Scotch (with a good cigar ;)), a beautiful dark rum, a glass of port, cherry or muscat after dinner. Love it!

I presume you're from the UK (as far as I now we're the only country that has a seperate age for buying and drinking)

You have to be 5 to drink it outside of medical reasons.

Yes I do. I can honestly say that there are a ton of drinks that I genuinely like the taste of. The problem with it is that most people are unwilling to pay the higher cost of better beers and liquors so everybody whines about the taste.

I've had vodka and rum that tasted as smooth as water. It costs more but you get what you pay for. And cocktails only taste better when you make them right. With the careful combination of liquor, flavorings, and other ingredients, you can make something that not only tastes delicious, but satiates that need for being intoxicated to the extent that you want to be.

Beer is unique due to its simplicity, but I've had great tasting beers and crappy ones. Beer I would argue is one of the more acquired tastes of the alcohol world, but once you find your beer, you begin to love the taste and can gauge what other beers that you like from your first favorite. It's sad that most people won't ever get past the taste of Bud Light or Keystone.

I do like my alcoholic beverages. I tend to enjoy a blended whiskey over straight bourbon and I will drink some beers.

No, but I'm a wimp. I cover the taste of alcohol with mixers.

Deppends on the beverage. Yes on beer and vodka, no on wine.

No, the times I have drunk were a few shots to get f*cked and you only taste it for a second, and I don't 100% believe people that say they do.

Here is the problem, people say they like the taste, but if you get something with the same taste but no alcohol they don't want to drink it. People like the effects of alcohol more it seems to me.

Just popped open the first beer of the evening here. :P

Not really.

I'm a big fan of red wine and champagne, and I like sake and white wine, but that's about it. I almost never drink except with meals.chessmaster1989

I love sake but I'm not a fan of standard wine.

Um, most of the beverages simply wouldn't taste the same without the alcohol. For people who seriously enjoy their alcoholic beverages, the alcohol is an important component because it carries the flavours of most of them...

I didn't at first. Beer taste like piss and it was impossible for me to down liqour without a chaser or coke.

But after 4 years in the Navy, I've come to love the taste of beer. I still have a little trouble with some liqours, but I can enjoy a smooth whiskey on rocks.

I'm that guy that's drinking a beer with with his meal. Yeah I'm that guy <.<

I've found beer I can tolerate, but never one that I've enjoyed.

There's a few spirits I enjoy. A good Scotch or a Cinnamon Schnapps are always good.

Maybe he's referring to ethanol.

Specific alcoholic drinks and cocktails.
