I find for the most part it is an acquired taste but also too it depends on the quality of alcohol you are drinking.

Oh yeah. Well I drank a water bottle full of Everclear 190 proof, straight... and then I almost died. I don't recall anything. Surprisingly I didn't have to get my stomach pumped and I can't believe my liver survived but it did. WhiteSnake5000
I've never almost died. Usually the bartender has cut me off while I'm still able to walk and stumbling around lol.

[QUOTE="WhiteSnake5000"][QUOTE="BumFluff122"]lol us guys? I've probably been drinkign alcohol a lot longer than you. I use to go out every weekend a long time ago and order nothign but long island ice-ts. I've also gotten so drunk I've spent the night sittign in a parkign lot alone puking my guts out. I've also nearly passed otu a couple times.AFraud

When I say straight, I mean shots. If you drink a full bottle of just about anything, especially everclear, you deserve everything you get.

I know, what straight is. Just everclear, nothing else. It was bad, I couldn't breath most of the time.

Meanwhile, cleaning alcohol probably isn't up to the same standards, since no one is expected to actually drink it.MrGeezer
This was better than cleaning grade, it was chemist grade . Strong enough to make your eyes sting from about a foot, only had a tiny amount too.

Where did you even get the everclear 190? I'm pretty sure it's illegal in my state.

I'm pretty much done with them. I don't enjoy the taste and they make me feel sick. I'd rather just have a blunt :P

I've been to a hookah bar, but I didn't smoke hookah there. My friend owns one though and I've smoked with him and a couple of friends, though. I like it a lot. Pretty relaxing. One time he filled the little water thing with vodka. I'm not sure if it was my mind, but it seemed 10x more awesome

Yeah, if you want to puke all over the place. You guys will learn very quickly that sweet alcohol (like rum), most mixed drinks, and anything creamy or milky with alcohol are great ways to end up puking your guts out.

Stick to beer, liquor straight up, or if you must have a mixed drink, it should be something that isn't sweet, like a gin and tonic.

lol us guys? I've probably been drinkign alcohol a lot longer than you. I use to go out every weekend a long time ago and order nothign but long island ice-ts. I've also gotten so drunk I've spent the night sittign in a parkign lot alone puking my guts out. I've also nearly passed otu a couple times.

I remember sitting on my couch watching tv and drinking for about 2 hours and then I woke up in my bed wondering how I even got there. I didn't finished the whole thing, but most of it. I think there was maybe klike 1/4 left. My friend said I was tripping out real bad.

I am not sure what I can say, that has not already been said:

  • "Acquired Taste"
  • Try Mixed Drinks
  • Try Beer
  • Try Wine

Personally, I hate the taste of straight liquor.

It does taste awful when you drink it straight, have it with coke, but whiskey and coke is better.
Lager is the worst acohol to taste.

Cause it is derived from rotten fermented fruits and or grains. That fact is it is not about taste.

My body was shaking, I was throwing up for about an hour and yeah he saved my life pretty much, so I never really thought about it that way. If he wasn't there I probably would have suffocated and died.

It's an acquired taste because it kills your taste buds if I remember correctly. The more you drink hard alcohol, the less of that bad flavor you encounter. Plus food will have less flavor, then you can enjoy everything more! I don't care for it much but I do like to have mixed drinks on special occasions.

Well why not understand what makes something taste bad?
A piece of cheese tastes good one day, then a few days later it tastes horrible. Wouldn't you want to know why this would have happened?
If we didn't have this way of finding out why things happen and why things the way they are, try to understand them and then apply this understanding to our life, then we would be no where.
Physics would be no where, Biology would be no where, Chemistry. Like I said, we would be in the dark ages.

I can understand a useful question, like why does raw food taste so bad? But you are blowing that way way way out of proportion if you are genuinely claiming this question is actually of value. Using the dark ages as an example is a gross exaggeration to say the least. Why does alcohol taste so bad is a question that will not change the face of the earth as you are asserting. Some things do not require a greater understanding, at least in my humble opinion.

I used to like to think there is no dumb question, but that was before I started visiting GS OT.

I agree. Especially beer and wine (except for the full-sweet wines).

Thats why I only drink sweet alcohol drinks like Vodka but with Kahlua, or other sweet ones like Baileys or Amareto.

I'm talking about the idea behind his statement. If we all had that attitude about everything, then we would be no where, thats what I'm saying.
I disagree, without wanting to understand why alcohol tastes that way, we might not have made some discoveries we have.

I agree that kind of reasoning is generally counter productive, but I feel this time around it was spot on. Alcohol tasting bad is all about preference these days as it is. Like the question, why does Pepsi taste SOOO bad? It is a useless question, for a person that does not grasp the concept of differing taste and preferences. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this silly squabble.
