   The taste of alcohol...
  Is anyone like me and just can't stand the taste of alcohol?  I have tried several kinds by now: champagne, sweet sangria, pina colada, strawberry daquiri, long island iced tea, and today I got to try irish cream.  And I didn't like any of them. :P They taste so bitter/kind of like menthol, which I am allergic to, and they make my stomach burn like I need to take an antacid.  I would like to be able to do the social drinking thing with my friends, but I'm not going to drink stuff I hate the taste of.So, while I am planning my Christmas party, does anyone know of any alcoholic drinks which don't taste like alcohol?   
  I have never, ever tried alcohol that I've liked. Beer tastes like crap, wine tastes like crap. Rum seriously tastes like rubbing alcohol. So does gin, apparently (I've never tried it myself). I don't even like malt coolers all that much. I eventually stopped trying alcohol altogether. I'm a little jealous of people who enjoy it, but that's ok. I'll just drink my soda and juice.   ;Quote:Original post by sunandshadowSo, while I am planning my Christmas party, does anyone know of any alcoholic drinks which don't taste like alcohol?Don't do it. This is the path that leads to "diet" soda, "fat free" fast food and non-alcoholic "wine." Be unapologetic about your not consuming alcohol because it tastes like crap to you. Provide alcohol for your guests, if you wish, but don't feel compelled to imbibe or "join in" the social drinking.That said, I would recommend a visit to a pub that sells gourmet beers from the tap. Finally, a beer that didn't taste like distilled piss!   ;  So like...alcohol isn't that great. If you haven't started yet, then you aren't missing out on much. Except for an unhappy liver and weird digestion problems in the morning.

(I'm not sure whether diabetics can't digest alcohol, I should probably look that up.  I know I'm supposed to eat meat, dairy, and vegtables, and avoid sugars, starches, and fruits...)  But it's not just the social pressure, I would like to see what it feels like to get a little tipsy at least once.  I have a standing bet with someone about whether I would be a hyper giggly drunk or whether I would promptly fall asleep.   ;Quote:Original post by H_o_p_sQuote:Original post by Luke Philpotvodka? :)Rasberry vodka and cranberry juice :)Lol but I hate cranberry juice.   ;Quote:Original post by H_o_p_sQuote:Original post by Luke Philpotvodka? :)Rasberry vodka and cranberry juice :)or... vodka and vodka :Pfeel the burrnnnnnOr sunandshadow, you could just buy some premix drinks.  They are very easy to drink and you can barely taste any alcohol.   ;  Beer is bad until you acquire a taste for it (like most alcoholic drinks).  Also a warning, most American-brewed beer is bad (macrobrews tend to be quite nasty).  Since you're from Pittsburgh, I highly recommend you check out Fatheads on the South Side; great beer, on tap, from around the world.  Tends to be a little pricey, but draft beer is way better than bottled, and Fatheads has like 40+ beers on draft, rotated every week or so.
