Always but super cheap vodka because, well, it's vodka. Surely the difference can't be significant. Anyway I bought some Beluga and wow, I'm not repulsed by this. It's actually pretty smooth and the flavor isn't like splashing acetone in my face. What a revalation.

It's actually kind of pleasant

I totally get people not drinking alcohol cause its bad for you (for various reasons) but I will always be of the opinion that alcoholic drinks can just be super tasty.

    Yeah I'm a simple woman, but I think "Miller Lite" actually tastes nice.

    The concept of drinking alcohol to get drunk is a foreign one to me.

    I enjoy a drink now and then, but I only really drink 2–3 times a month at most. Usually just a beer or two or a glass of wine.

    I like getting a little buzz going but I honestly can't remember the last time I was actually drunk. It's probably been over a decade lol.

    I enjoy drinking but im aware im a casual in many respects whent it comes to it.

    the worst hangovers ive ever had are from alcohols that taste good and go down easy, you just keep drinking

    From my experience as a now mostly sober alcoholic (I'll get myself a six pack maybe once a month now), it is often the sugar in the drinks that both makes it go down easy and makes the hangover hell. Back in the bad old days I could put down a 750 of Jack on a night and still manage to get up and make it to work at 430 the next morning for my McDonald's prep shift. The woman I dated at the time sometimes would make me drinks instead, and when she did I would feel like absolute death the next day.

    Now am mid 30s and the last 6 pack I drank had me feeling anxious and gross for two whole days. It's not worth it anymore.

    Only time alcohol has tasted good to me is when the taste of the alcohol is completely masked.

    I mean depending on what you mean that is a lot of cocktails that would fall under that category. Or stuff like Hugo , Eggnog etc. EDIT Frankly lots of alcoholic beverages dont just taste like high percentage alcohol .

    Then the thing that makes the drink taste good is the dilution of alcohol and it would taste better with none
