All straight hard liquor is horrible

[hank4elk]

aye laddies,
I sipped some whiskey in my day. Sometimes dulled with ice or a beer or two or...
I remember the morning I put the cork back in the bottle of Hudson Bay Rye whiskey too.
35 years ago. Never gave it another thought.

All alcohol products are for the birds. Leads to nothing but problems and a light checking account

Soap boxes are allowed in my threads, but I draw the line at high horses

Yukon Jack. Right out of the freezer, and poured over ice. Let set for a couple minutes. Crack open a frosty Labatt's beer. Every night before supper. Life is great !!

I’m one of those Sallys none of that hard stuff for me. Just Budweiser if I’m picking but I never turn down free

A friend of a friend took me out pheasant hunting in KS one day. We hit it off really well and when we got done he invited me over to his shop for a few beers. I told him I’d stop by the liquor store and grab some. I asked what he wanted and he said his favorite is OPB. Never heard of it, neither did the liquor store clerk. Do a case of Coors light sbd Busch light it was. Got there and told him I couldn’t find opb. He laughed and said “other peoples beer”. If I’d have known that I woulda got him some natty ice!

Budweiser is hard stuff . I love the taste of budweiser heavy but it gives me an instant splitting headache.

I don’t crave anything but a Vikings super bowl victory. But I do enjoy a very nice single malt scotch (single barrel even better) or one of a few high-end vodkas with nothing but a couple of whiskey stones in the glass. If I want pop I drink pop. If I want a good liquor I tend to prefer it on its own rather than diluting and masking it. I don’t drink for the drunk, so if I don’t enjoy the taste, why spend the money.

Every year on my birthday I go to Doe's Eat Place, eat a 3lb porterhouse with a glass of Woodford Reserve on ice.
The only other time I drink straight liquor is when I'm plastered and someone says the magical words "let's do shots"

Doe’s in Paducah?

I used to carry a mickey of scotch in my saddle bag for medicinal purposes. It lasted fifteen years. Only had a sore throat a couple of times. I chose Cutty Sark because it tastes especially horrible. And it was cheap.

I'm a beer only guy and usually only Coors Lite ... for the same reason ... it tastes horrible. No trouble making a bottle of that stuff last the evening. I wouldn't drink a shot of booze even if someone put a gun to my head. Mixed drink? Pffft! "Bartender, set me up with a glass of Kool-Aid and don't forget the cute little umbrella."

 

[Addicting]

Both. Tall Blondes and a bottle are the best. mtmuley

FIFY!

Have you ever been to a good brewery and done a tasting? Like somewhere with a lot of different styles.

If anyone tells you they loved liquor the first time they drank it, they are a bold-faced liar. Its an acquired taste, for certain.

I think you haters just havent drunk enough of it to acquire a taste. Because if you had, youd love it, too.

I remember being able to tolerate the taste of hard liquor for like 2 weeks when I first started to experiment with it when I was like 15 but then I got fully blacked out and puked on a bottle of Bacardi and Its been hard for me to consume any without gagging ever since.

that's your cerebral cortex shutting down for being exposed to the Virginia slims of beer.

 

[Huntkook]

I wasn’t much for anything straight until I tasted Wild Turkey American Honey. That stuff could get me in trouble.

I stay away from that stuff, it's been scientifically proven to cause hormonal imbalance. Did you say you shoot a Creedmoor? Just saying.

There must be some kind of AA type group for this, no?

Yeah, a Vikings game day. No one ever recovers from it though they just pick a different team so they actually have a chance at the super bowl.

Had the same experience. Even the smell of rum gave me gag reflex for at least 10 years after.

Doesn’t one have to have tasted it before to crave something?

Nah. Haven’t you ever heard the phrase “we crave what we can’t have”?
