Beer, Ale and Lagers are not acquired tastes, why anyone wants to bleat about which ones taste scrumptious when they all taste like frothy cats p*ss i dont know, i think its a man thing.
Alcohol in itself is not an acquired taste, nobody actually likes it, hence why they squint and squirm and throw up when they down shots etc.
Even ones like Disaronno with its Marzipan/almondyness and apple sourz with its appley soury taste arent REALLY nice, and dont even get me started on whiskey, especially jack daniels, it tastes like a corpse.
People drink alchohol to socialise or to get drunk/merry.
That nobody likes alcohol couldn't be farther from the truth. There are countless studies as to how monkeys have been getting drunk from fermented fruit way before we showed up, you can read a bit here so some do have a genetic predisposition to it.
So im still right really ? Ive said nobody enjoys alchohol for the taste, that much is true, and your link and monkey thing doesnt counter that.
I never said people dont like alchohol for other reasons, i just full stop dont believe anyone that says they like the taste of alchohol, they might like the taste of other stuff and mixers, but alchohol in itself is disgusting, and none of them are tailor made tastes, they are just covered up with flavouring.
Well, I don't hang out with anyone that drinks pure alcohol, so it's ALL covered up taste somehow. So you like being technically right, great it still doesn't change a thing, it's accepted that unless you're mentally skewed and drinking perfume or rubbing alcohol, we're talking about alcohol in the context of something distilled or brewed. Broad finite statements like that, tend to get challenged round these parts if you hadn't noticed.
And technical fallicies are what i enjoy laying into on here, you should know that by now, not to mention i love being challenged, makes my day. Theres nothing like a good argument to keep you informed and not ignorant.
But ignoring the technicalities, i still dont think people enjoy alchoholic beverages, like i said its a way of socialising, or getting off your face, i dont believe anyone on here that has pushed their Ale>lager>beer agenda believes a word of their own saying. Its just acting like men are expected to act like.
What im saying i guess is that when people say they like whatever it is they like, they like it for the reason that they can socialise and get plastered with it, NOT for its taste, therefore when people argue over which one is better, and stating the one is delicious wheras another isnt is poppycock.
I feel its a status quo that people grow up and dont think to challenge, or actually ask, does anyone here actually like the carlsberg we're all drinking, to which the resounding answer would be "no", only when you say it, the resounding answer is "p***y".
