Alcohol...suppose to taste like crap?, Your first drink Options

[TrueLove]

My first drink was tequila. I passed out on my couch fast.
The don't like wine...ick.
I take on strong drinks pretty well and the only problem is turning red and I still turn red after drinking for awhile now.

vodka is very nasty. i tried it at a friend's house before and eeeeh, seriously, like you're drinking rubbing alcohol. gross.

Maybe you drank the low quality vodka.

Alcohol isn't supposed to be gulped. The taste of alcohol is nasty, but there are so many flavorings to put in the stuff to make mixed drinks, it tones down the raw alcohol taste. One bartender made me a drink called Nut-n-Honey. It really tasted like nuts and honey.
You have to understand that not liking alcohol is a good thing. There are so many people that have lost their jobs, lost their friends, lost their spouse, even lost their life, because of alcohol. Having a couple of drinks at a party or other special occasion is fine. Just don't try to make yourself like it. Why? If it's not for you, then it's not for you. Lots of people don't drink. Don't give in to peer pressure either. If you don't want to drink, then lay down the law. Tell everybody else to f-ck off.
A lot of people drink because they want the alcohol, not the taste. They want to be buzzed. Some people think it makes it easier for them to relax and be themselves. Ironically, when you're under the influence of alcohol, you're never yourself.

When I went out drinking for the first time with a few friends, I didn't know what to ask the bartender for, so I said I just wanted something sweet. This is what he made me, and it's still one of my favorites today.

A good drink to try: Wu Wu (or Woo Woo)

It's cranberry juice, vodka and peach schnapps. It's a beautifully colored drink. It should be garnished with a couple of cherries and a lime wedge. Make sure you at least get the cherries with it. It adds more sweetness to it.

Before I begin I'd like to say I've never tasted alcohol before, so forgive my naiveness about this subject. This New Years I was offered some champagne I usually wouldn't take a drink but I'm a legal adult now and it was new years so I thought what the hey. I took one gulp and seriously it was the worse thing I've ever tasted like listerine mixed in with cough syrup. It burned like hell too. I don't understand how people can get drunk off of this stuff, maybe I drank it wrong though...

its poisonous so yes your body is telling you that.
alcohol is produced by yeast cells to stop bacteria and fungoids form eating theri food.(hence its use as a disinfectant)

any chemical designed to put organisms off their food is never going to taste nice.

thats was corky the scientist.

now for corky the irish guy..........

what you need to do is drink regularly and the taste buds will simply stop regisetering it as strongly.
i know a guy who can drink a bottle of whiskey 700cl in one go...but he has to gargle with it for 5 minutes first to numb the taste buds......
practice makes perfect and regardless of its taste its effects are why we drink it.

All alcohol, girly drinks included, taste like crap to me.

[lllanyalll]

^I concur..... I can't stand the taste >_<

[Panic]

at the club that i work at, i get alot of girls ordering chocolate cake shots. sugar on the rim of a shot glass + 1 oz of vodka and frangelico, and a lemon dipped in sugar. it tastes just like a chocolate cake. too girly for my taste though. gimme some remy or patron any day of the week.

Alcohol shouldn't be gulped down (whoever said it, was dead on). It should be enjoyed and you should stick to better grades/labels. Cheap stuff will leave you feeling like crap. And you shouldn't consume it like it's going out of style. Practice moderation.

Personally I love to enjoy a glass of wine and relax after a long day-once in a while.

I'm not a fan of much but I do enjoy a few selections on occasion and working where I am (yeah it's a university, but we still have plenty of corp events), you need to be well-cultured about it.

Anyhow my favs have always been most sweet tasting red wines, a well aged congac and sake. I do the mixed drink thing if I'm out with friends over dinner, but rarely.

I praise people that don't drink at all but the rest that do, should develope a more discriminating taste for what they choose to consume.

It helps if you know terminology like aperitif and digestif and be a bit more educated about what your drinking.

...Or just drink juice. Drinking alcohol for sake of getting drunk isn't healthy for you at all.

[華夏無產]

Some alcohol tastes bad.

I used to drink a lot, but now I rarely drink...

[Pebbles]

Alcohol does taste horrible. I remember drinking one shot of some French liquor (40% alcohol). That one shot made me sick to my stomach. I'll never understand how anyone can become an alcoholic. I'll never drink again if I can help it.

Yeah, it did make me feel...very "special" for a few minutes back there. And I did some really embarrassing but memorable things too. However, when I felt like crap the next morning, I realized that it wasn't worth it lol.

[deeme2000]

^hehe...that's usually what it takes for most to enjoy their liquor in moderation.
