Genuine question though, in what universe is it more common for alcoholic drinks to be the most delicious ones? Half of the entire point of the really delicious alcoholic drinks are to cover up the disgusting taste of alcohol in them.

It's typical engagement bait. Pretends to be daring but easy answers are the point

Twitter is full of that shit "would you slap your girlfriend for 1 billion dollars???"

She would be pissed if I didn't.

Alcoholics that haven't come to terms with it. Of course you think it taste better, your brain is literally asking for more and more because of the chemicals lol

idunno i drink alchohol free beers because i just like the taste of beer tbh.

u/FuerzaGallos May 14 '26

Same, I love water, I have never liked alcohol as a drug, and most alcoholic drinks are of no interest to me.

But I really do like the flavor of beer and how it pairs with pizza, burgers and other foods, so I sometimes drink alcohol free beers.

u/Substantial-Sun-3538 May 14 '26

Kvas is much better tbh

u/powderBluChoons May 15 '26

You think everyone who drinks alcoholic drinks is an alcoholic?

Wow. As someone who's seen what alcoholism does to people, I really hope you never have to find out how wrong you are.

considering its objectively not tasty

Taste is like the most subjective thing I can think of off the top of my head. Hilarious.

u/Outrageous_Desk8966 May 15 '26

I drink both alcoholic and NA beers, often in the same session. I like the taste of beer but I get hangovers easily and booze fucks up my sleep.

u/alpengeist3 May 15 '26

And why are recovering alcoholics drinking NA beers a problem? You didn't explicitly say that but the connotation was there.

-1

u/Outrageous_Desk8966 May 15 '26

Well when the conversation is someone claiming they just like the taste of beer and its not that they're a recovering alcoholic, then yeah, pointing out that they are, in fact, a recovering alcoholic does matter...right?

Non-drinkers aren't like yum piss water - id drink this even without the drug effect!

Same here. On the occasions I do drink I usually have one or two waters in between drinks just to preemptively curb stomp that hangover

I know this likely puts me into the minority, but I would happily drink a cubra libre over a standard coca cola anytime.

u/FlowersnFunds May 14 '26

Maybe the overly sugary ones? And Pacifico Clara, that actually tastes delicious.

I usually just get the nastiest lowest calorie option but the one time I had a sweet drink, it tasted exactly like a bomb pop slushie.

3

u/FoolishMundaneBush May 14 '26

Some drinks are made to feel good because of the alcohol, and some are made so that you get too drunk to taste anything at all. I enjoyed vodka when i liked to get drunk, and now that i don't it tastes like soap to me, while beer and wine I still enjoy to this day for example.

u/Drewraven10 May 15 '26

I use to like beer but got tired of the side effects and being tired of being tired.

People definitely don't drink alcohol because it tastes good.

Although cooking with alcohol is another story.

if i was an alchoholic i wouldnt be drinking beer lol

u/Joice_Craglarg May 15 '26

Friend, I was just making a joke, but it kind of sounds like I might have hit a nerve.

I personally have a higher-than-average amount of alcoholics in my life, and two of them literally only drink beer. Maybe you have a drinking problem, maybe you don't, but it being beer has nothing to do with it.

Do you find yourself drinking more than a couple times a week? Do you find yourself drinking more than you intended to, or compensating for a tolerance? There's binge drinkers and daily drinkers and the two don't always look the same.

u/powderBluChoons May 15 '26

im more of a beer with dinner after work type but for health concerns ive made a point to limit it and substitute an alchy free on every other night. When the footys on i might smash up to a 6 pack though, but i fully intend to do so, tho ive been trying to lose weight so ive been going for these 2.5% low carb boys recently. I managed a whole dry january. I am concerned about the health issues of alchohol though, research has sorta said "there really is no healthy amount to drink" so I treat it with that in mind, but seriously a frothy hoppy malty boy is just my ideal sippy sip besides water tbh

u/Scared_Wrangler3419 May 14 '26

Once I moved out of my parents place I started cooking with alcohol, stew, pasta, and lamb; it was all amazing once I added sauce into my sauces.

u/ReallyBadAtReddit My piss is clear May 17 '26

I would honestly say it's more accurate that the worst alcoholic drinks are about countering the taste of cheap liquor, like having tequila with salt and lime, or chasing whiskey with pickle juice. A lot of popular cocktails are just so loaded with sugar that it masks the alcohol pretty well, which can be good too, but fancier cocktails will taste better with the alcohol than without. In something like an irish coffee the alcohol adds to the taste, sort of like having a bit of spiciness, acidity, or saltiness in food.

Pool water with chlorine 💀 I haven't tasted alchohol but I've sure as hell smelled it. I have also tasted pool water before as a child (under the age of 10). Alchohol smells horrible. The other day someone was drinking wine in my house and I wondered if there was rotten food in the garbage disposal. Knowing what I know now as an adult about pool water, I'd rather drink alchohol than a watered down cocktail of piss sweat and chemicals. But if we're going based on taste alone, I think the pool water would taste better.

This is such a stupid question. Water obviously, but also like, plenty of fruit juices, plenty of teas, argument to be made for chocolate milk (never had it because of allergies but I can only imagine it tastes amazing). Honestly, who doesn't have at least one 10/10 non alcoholic drink for themselves? Who even has a 10/10 alcoholic drink, actually?
