Why do people pretend to drink alcohol for the taste?
If you want to drink something that tastes like shit, drink strong cranberry juice. It's cheaper, will never give you a headache and it doesn't destroy your liver

Beer is actually delicious though

At first I hated the taste, but I got on a spree of drinking it a lot and started to enjoy the taste. I quit drinking and can't really stand the taste anymore.
Drink good tasting alcohol and you will understand

>People pretend to like dark beer
>People pretend to like warm beer
>People like beer
I can't even get drunk on beer cuz my stomach is small and I can't piss as fast as my belly fills up.
Drink Bourbon Whisky get tipsy off 3 shots and mixes well with coke. Full bodied taste. Mmm.

I kind of agree, but it depends on the kind. Standard beer tastes like piss and red ale tastes like watered down piss

Cider tastes sweet and gives you a warm feeling for a while after. Good for cozy tanking.

may be that the taste buds remember what being drunk was, tell the brain and flips a switch making so that the taste is good or at least pretends itself to be.
There is such a thing as objectively good-tasting beer (and liquor in some cases).
Fermented root beer/cider/ginger ale, beer that tastes like pastries/candy, irish/spanish creme, etc. Plenty of things to choose from that have none of the associations with traditional booze taste.

Because if you're going to drink, it should taste good? You're probably underage so you don't understand this, but normal adults rarely drink to get drunk. It's a social thing. Really, when you drink often enough, you get to a point where you're not shocked by the taste of alcohol and the taste of the brew/distill makes a lot of difference to people who aren't pavement apes.

Lots of people really do like the taste, you're just not one of them.

I pretty much only drink IPAs honestly

only because they are more experienced pavement apes.

Beer is gross.
Not Your Father's Root Beer is good.

They're not contrary concepts, genius
>only because they are more experienced pavement apes.
No it's the difference between people who eat McDonalds and people who can recognize the taste of grass fed beef
I only drink jack and coke, a j20 cocktail with vodka and gin and other stuff in and a bunch of shots cause it gets me drunk the quickest

You can make alcohol taste amazing if you mix it.
Shit can taste like lemonade or any kind of fruit drink.
Wine also tastes good.

Read the question again. Are people drinking *for* the taste or is the taste just part of it?
No, the difference between a junkie living in a tenement and a junkie living in Wall Street is that one of them wears a suit. The appreciation of brewery and quality might as well be the suit (which is to say, a pedestal of vanity)
I actually kind of agree, I don't drink alcohol at all, but I've tried it plenty of times to give it a chance. Beer is universally nasty, doesn't matter what kind of flavoring it claims to be. Wine tastes like cough medicine.
Most of the reason why I don't drink is because I think it tastes awful.

You ever try Yuengling ILP
Now I adore Yuengling as my only beer but that IPL of theirs is strait up gross.

This post is so haaHa cringe.
Boys drink alcohol to get drunk men drink for the taste. *tips fedora*
>sweet alcoholic drinks
Thats a great way to feel like shit.
You are hurting yourself to feel good by drinking poison. Be congruent with that. Just drink some drink and deal with it, let the harsh taste of poison remind you of what you are doing.
Although desu i like adding a few shots of 100 proof hot damn cinnamon schnapps to a glass of beer. Now that does taste pretty good in addition to getting you hammered. Drink a few of those and then do some shots and you are going to get plowed, fast.
Or just get 190 proof everclear and mix with sugarfree citrus sodas. Thats about the medical maximum of potency/palatability. Even noobs such as you can get blackout drunk to the point that you puke up your stomach lining for three days like that.

Different anon, but it can be either depending on the situation. If you're having a really nice meal, a well-paired wine will improve the taste of the meal and the meal with improve the taste of the wine. The alcohol is just a bonus at that point. There are also some really good tasting drinks out there that people get more because they like the flavor of the drink than for the sole purpose of consuming alcohol.
