    Here’s my own controversial take:

    Any and all alcoholic beverages taste like garbage, people simply get used to the bad taste because they’re expected to drink it and/or are alcoholics.

    Countless times i’ve been offered drinks that “taste good”, or that “you can barely taste the alcohol” and every single time they taste terrible. Even when there’s a hint of flavor behind it all, it is utterly ruined by the taste of alcohol.

    No amount of seasoning is gonna make your food taste good if you’ve already taken a dump on it.

      I can definitely see how you would feel that way, but for me, there’s definitely a whole world of depth of flavor brought out via fermentation, which includes alcoholic beverages. I don’t personally care for the alcohol content usually, but the flavor is truly unique and can be special.
