Person who came up with the word to describe the opposite of sweet in the context of booze: "I got so drunk, I forgot the word for bitter."

    i assume you're too sober to get it right, then. dry drinks are not always bitter. plenty of dry wines aren't bitter, they just aren't sweet. the opposite of bitter is usually "smooth," a term you have absolutely heard and accepted in that context.
