Most but not all people that drink Bourbon/Gin/Vodka don't drink it straight because the first time they tried it they didn't like the taste, so someone suggested they try it with coke,seven up, tonic etc. and VOILA!!! much better because now it's sweet. Most people like sweet alcoholic drinks and good red and white wines other than a Reisling/or Muscat variety are not sweet, just like Bourbon/Gin/Vodka. Scotch (which I like as well as wines, is not sweet. Drinking most alcoholic beverages STRAIGHT and enjoying it, including good wines requires time. Folks that only enjoy sweet wines are really missing a great taste experience. Bread and cheeses with a good red wine makes up for the lack of sweetness and actually enhances the taste of the wine. Try it------You"ll Like It.
 

Ice cold vodka, straight no chaser, not for the meek. Gin has always smelled like cologne so never had a taste for it. My mother drank Dewar's. In that case something like a whiskey sour is nice. But scotch is an acquired taste. Honey Jack Daniels is one of my favorites. Irish coffee too. So I like a variety.
 

OK so I'm the odd one but I don't drink any of those including beer, at any reception I will carry that screwdriver drink around with me till its time to leave.
 
Funny I have never enjoyed beer in any way. I tried Southern Comfort, idol worship as a teen for Janis Joplin...too potent and too sweet.

An ancient myth.

First off, unless you have an addictive personality to begin with, you won't be smoking 20 joints a day like a pack-a-day cigarette smoker. A joint a day for 20 years has been found to have NO effect on the lungs.

Second, smoking is not the only way to ingest cannabis these days. You have vaporizers, yummy things like brownies and cookies with weed baked in, liquid extracts ...

I like beer, wine, gin and tonic, whisky with lots of water, and fruity cocktails. But not all at one time. Hubby will drink scotch straight, no ice. But he sips it so he can actually taste it.

Cool Philly. As long as I don't have to wear the weird toque one of the debauched debs was sporting. Refer madness is one thing, but irredeemable fashion faux pas quite another.

Yes, Shali, its too late for that girl, who has succumbed to hopeless insanity from smoking the demon weed, as evidenced by the silly elfy hat.

Personally I think you get a bigger bang for your buck from drinking de hard stuff -- 40 proof or more if you can get it. Wine is usually only about 7-10% and beer in Canada around 6-7%. Although wine and beer are nice and refreshing, your sure to get a better buzz from de likker, without having to drink a whole darn bottle.

That's something I never understood - not from a chemistry aspect, but from a financial one - why drink several bloating beers when you can get te same buzz from a single shot of, say, Southern Comfort?

Your belly will thank you, as well as your wallet / purse.
