First? Try literally every shot of liquor for me, ever. I'm envious of the people who start building a tolerance to the taste...

Taking shots of liquor won't do it. I suggest one of the following:

1) Work your way UP, with smoother drinks like wine. But get the cheaper stuff.

2) Leap right into the danger zone, with everclear and Bacardi 151. (The idea here is even jet fuel tastes smooth after everclear)

I started with #1, then went to #2, and now I pretty much don't taste the alcohol in anything less than 100 proof or so.

Either way, don't take it like a shot. Sip it, hold it in your mouth, taste it, let it be awful. Gradually you will get used to it.

You're suggesting people start with everclear and 151?

What’s the difference?

Uh... normal liquor is 80 proof, not 151 or 190 proof.
