Poll of the Day > i don't trust people who don't drink alcohol, ok?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I never saw the appeal of it. Theres literally no genuine positive to drinking alcohol.

Weird flex, but Im so glad I never got into that shit.

But the point is it should not taste like what its masquerading as. If you're drinking some fruit based alcoholic drink and it taste like fruit juice, why are you not, you know, just drinking fruit juice. Instead you're drinking something that tastes the same but has extra risk attached. That's very silly and I don't get how you people are missing the point. Liking the tastes of recognised alcoholic drinks is another matter entirely.

Your point is dumb that's why. Again alcoholic beverages taste different hence why people drink them over other drinks. If I want to drink Cherry cider I will because I like Cherry and I like cider. They have many combinations these days to please folk who may not like the originals or just want something different. This is why "I don't like the taste" is silly.

Aside from making me relaxed and giving me a break from my head pressure sure.

I never said anything about drinking to get drunk. How did you even get that. I mean if it should taste like it has in alcohol. Whether that taste good or not is preference. But the point is it should not taste like what its masquerading as.

Some people like to get drunk but dont like the taste. Why such drinks exist.just gotta learn limits like you know you can handle say 5 drinks but 6 will have you blacked out. Dont drink 6. It takes reaching that point a time or two to learn but yeah.

Hell ive made mixed drinks with moonshine where you couldnt taste the alcohol. But I drink slower with harder stuff causw it aint my normal so I wait and see where that last glass gets me before I pour another.

I'd argue you should stop trying to explain to folk about themselves when you know next to nothing about them or the subject at hand. This is twice I've seen you act this way.

Uh the guy I quoted is clearly disagreeing with my position but not explaining why, just throwing out incredulous questions. I feel justified in asking for an explanation if he's quoting me like that. He doesn't have to give one if he doesn't want to, but then you shouldn't getting into arguments then.

I dunno what you're going on about. You are one of the most disagreeable people on here so its rich of you to lecture me on how I talk to someone. Know your place.

Why even eat salad if you're gonna put dressing on it? Might as well just drink salad dressing.

Because you could just be drinking regular drinks instead? If you're not drinking to get that alcohol kick on your palate why are you even bothering.

To get buzzed or drunk, dumbass. Not sure whats so hard to grasp here.

Here is the thing. I do what I want. I am curious where you think "my place" is though.

Uh I get that. People wanting to be drunk without tasting alcohol. I was talking about the dangers before. I thought you were making a completely different point.

No your point is dumb because you are on a completely different page to what me, LinkPizza etc are talking about. Have you not been following the discussion. We are talking about drinks laced with alcohol where you can't taste a difference. Not cocktails that obviously have a different taste. I already talked about this before.

You talked about many combinations of drinks which I took to mean cocktails. Still entirely missing the point though so I'll clarify once and for all.

To be clear:

1) I don't like the taste of alcoholic drinks, in any combination I've tried.

2) Its silly trying endless combinations until you magically find one you like.

3) Ones laced with alcohol that taste exactly the same as a normal drink are dumb and potentially dangerous, but hey knock yourself out (literally)

LinkPizza posted...

You can make an alcohol drink taste like other drinks easily enough... If you know the right mixes, that is...

But why waste time, skill, and presumably money on something and there isn't a good chance one would even enjoy it? Does the alcohol even contribute anything if you can't taste it?

And if someone wants to be persnickety enough to take "don't like the taste" at face value substitute it for "don't generally like the taste and don't care enough to search around for the one in a million drink I might like."

Wow you spend a long time trying to act like you have any valid points. For someone who doesn't drink you're spending a lot of time in this topic. Perhaps you should drink and help yourself relax. I've got you tagged as a troll anyway and a shit one at that. Still I'll amuse myself at your expense.

I've never had a alcoholic beverage that tastes exactly the same as none alcoholic drinks however alcohol does have some positives. It makes dumb posts like yours more enjoyable. I think you and Sunny should have a heart to heart. That would be fun.

The irony and lack of self awareness in this post is amazing. I'm sure many feel the same way about you. Except I don't bother tagging people. And I certainly don't announce I'm taking such action as though I'm a celebrity and its important. Get over yourself bro. Thats why I said before you should know your place. Apparently getting destroyed in your own lame pseudo popularity topics calling out different users including yourself (yikes) wasn't enough to humble you.

Funny how you pretty much said the same things I did and yet he takes his time to strongly disagree with everything I said (which is agreeing with you), then quotes you and is neutral. And he has the gall to call me the troll.

There are a couple alcoholic drinks I like to get when they have the single ones in stores for a dollar. I cant afford to drink normally and you arent allowed to buy alcohol with food stamp type things. What I use for hard liquor usually is soda with sugar in it, since I normally drink diet soda.

He only agreed with the last point which is good enough for me. I am assuming you two have a history or something. I really do want to know if the alcohol contributes anything if you can't actually taste it however.

Save for the effects of alcohol nothing really. Although I can always taste it even if I use a little.

You get the bartender to make it. If you do that, you waste a lot less of all three... That being said, you'd have to know what taste you're looking for. But they have almost always been pretty good at finding out what drinks to get people. At least, the ones I know...

demonfang178 posted...

Yep. Getting drunk. Which can be a pretty good feeling. Though, I would say around friends. Not alone, if you can help it. And depending on the person, it can change them. Make them nicer, or more social, in some cases... I'm a pretty social person already. And I somehow get even more social when drunk. And tired. But that's after like a lot of drinks... I have a limit where I will sleep pretty much anywhere when I reach it... But some of my best nights were had when drunk...

I'm anti social but when drunk or even tipsy I too tend to be more social and it gives me more confidence. I'm at the point where I drink for the taste these days but as I'm thin I do get drunk easy. It's both a blessing and a curse.

Then it's just lose-lose for me. Don't care for the taste and even less for getting drunk. Getting even tipsy makes me more paranoid and that's saying a lot.

If someone's answer is "I just don't." Leave it at that, or else your a dick.

We don't have any history, I only posting here often recently. The guy is just a nasty individual. I don't even mind being super disagreeable because I like a good argument, maybe that's why he thinks I'm trolling. The problem is he can't argue for shit and is very petty and crass. I still haven't seen a good argument from anybody for people who don't like the taste of alcohol (except for people who want the effects without the taste, which is something else actually). Now that part I do get but is sketchy unless you know your limit or have someone there like people said. That's a lotta trouble just to get a feel good factor. But we are not the ones trying to convince people here to do things they don't want to.

Yeah when I said that about those who wanted the effects and not the taste I wasnt trying to convince anyone to drink. Just explaining. I donnt wish to encourage anyone to drink unless its something they enjoy and we'll if they do they dont need my encouragement. Being the functional alcoholic I am so actually urge those who never have drank to not do so. Cant miss what you never knew.

I never did understand the "I don't like the taste" when many alcoholic beverages taste different. You can also drink and not get drunk.

I tried a bunch of different alcoholic drinks and didn't like any of them.
