Would people drink wine, beer, or spirits if they had no intoxicating properties? If the answer is no, you can conclude that the taste of these beverages is not appealing by itself.

Not only to get "drunk". You don't have to get shitfaced, even a mild buzz is enjoyable.

What I'm saying is, people who enjoy drinking (myself included) have learned to associate the taste of drinks with the pleasant effects that follow their consumption. It's not that you drink something unpleasant because you expect it to make you feel good later, rather, you actually enjoy the taste. But the taste is an acquired one.

When I was a kid I liked the taste of a raw red kidney bean, raw spinach, just generally weird shit. Like I appreciated a good 'bitter' taste I guess. I drank these non-alcoholic malta goya drinks, which is kinda beer-like in darkness. I'd sip it sometimes.. usually we'd mix it with carmalized milk and it'd be a nice treat but if we didn't have any and we bought the fucking malta I'd just drink it out of curiosity. Fast forward years later and I start drinking (mostly after legal age, like a square)... I remember having the craving for hops within my first year of seriously drinking.

My first real beer was probably like a LIttle Kings beer.. basic ass lager in a green bottle. I remember tasting the alcohol kinda strongly in it, like a vodka or something which is weird. I mean I can kinda whiff the alcoholiness of some beers but like I just can't have that feeling again. Now beer is like bitter, dark, nutty, robust.. coffee-ish.. but no alcohol taste.

Liquor.. yeah definitely alcohol taste. No shit. And I got to appreciating it too. I know cheap vodka is always going to be shit and yadda yadda, and I can enjoy a $20 big bottle of decent whiskey.

Dear god.. now that I think about it whenever I get liquor or order it it's always whiskey.. and if I ever mix it it's with coke.. I'm not even 30 year let alone 50 do I need to change my tastes up now?!

Coffee is, and always will be, a means to an end. Whether it's socializing, waking up in the morning, or staying awake, I will never drink it for the taste, and putting sugar and shit is just empty calories to me.

Dude it's so obvious that dude's supposed to be the bad guy in the comic. Shit I bet any comments or post on the internet about the comment goes like "wow I knew a douchebag like that". But also the guy literally only says:

>What do you drink? Stouts? Lagers?

And then the response to that douchebag is

>Man, you are no fun at all
>Dude, if you don't like it, don't drink it.


People can definitely relate to knowing someone like that. If anything it's pretty fucking clever reading that comic because it shows the guy who knows his beer as someone just casually asking a guy what he drinks, and calls him no fun when he acts like a douche about the guy's taste for beer

I could be wrong and maybe we all see what we want to see in that comic but I don't see it painting the whiny guy as the hero of this three-panel comic strip

I enjoy things I dont like the taste of because disliking something is an experience as exciting as liking it.
I remember I had this canned fish in oil a few weeks ago. Each bite physically hurt because of the salt and oil but I was laughing each time. Booze is kind of the same. Ive had booze that genuinely tasted good but most of the time I choke it down because feeling fire in my throat is as fun as feeling cotton candy melt in my mouth. If you cant enjoy the good and the bad you only get half of life.
At least thats how I see it. Ive met men who throw up eating Banana's so maybe its just me.

Try black tea, preferably earl grey. It has about as much caffeine in it as coffee, and if you steep it less than 3 minutes there is basically no bitterness at all, but a slight lemony taste. It's also a nice way to get some water into you if you have problems with that.

Drunk isn't the right word. But even a single sip of alcohol has a psychoactive effect. It's this property which is responsible for the popularity of alcoholic drinks. Gin and sake taste nothing alike, but people drink them for the same reason. The actual taste of a drink is secondary in importance, and only becomes enjoyable because of its association with the intoxicating effects of alcohol. You don't need to be consciously aware of this association: your mind will form it no matter what.

Would you drink a cold non-alcoholic beer in the evening? What if all beer magically lost its intoxicating abilities? Would you keep up the habit?

Well hes not being a douche, hes being a smug pseudointellectual by completely disregarding the other characters (and beer drinkers in general) opinion in favor of his own. The fact that the beer drinker has no argument other than to say 'you're no fun' implies that the author doesnt think anyone who drinks beer actually would argue that they like the taste of beer. The entire comic is a masturbatory work for the author and people who dont like beer to imagine that the reason they dont like beer is that they're more intelligent and have 'seen through the fraud' of people actually enjoying beer.

Beer is an acquired taste when it's shit tier. Plessant when it's mid tier and godly when it's god tier.

People drink beer with 4% or less alck, even going as low as 2.6%. Yes they do have alcohol but that's a microdose at this point unless you're a tiny lean woman. And usually those are drunk because you wanna drink more beer to take the party slow instead of getting buzzed fast.

This is only the case because popular commercial products are always garbage, consumed solely for their effects and not enjoyment of the thing itself.
>macrobrew beer
Tastes like pisswater, thin and inoffensive so you can drink many and get drunk
>keurig/drip pot preground coffee
Tastes like bitter water, thin and inoffensive so you can drown it in creamer/flavoring and get stimulated
>box/cheap wine
Tastes like astringent water, thin and inoffensive so you can drunkenly cackle in the kitchen with your harpy whore friends

The issue isn't that people are "pretending" to like something, it's that they use it as a drug for a cheap high rather than as a food product with effects. Most people enjoy things on the level of hitting the pleasure button as many times as they can and sadly never branch out towards new things they might actually enjoy on a deeper level than stimulus/reward.
