It's good.
You can make your own with the "grains" bought off ebay for a couple bucks, but I know some people would be lazy to do that..
(If you get plain/make it yourself mix with fennel, dandelion greens, cinnamon, beets, berries, orange peels, etc.)

I bought the box of individual bottles from Costco.

Came with strawberry and blueberry.
I really fucking like it. The worst thing about them is the awful shelf life, and they get warm within like 5 minutes of being out of the fridge.

Warm kefir kinda pops in your mouth like a carbonated drink with a bitter taste. Its not super pleasant.

Love the stuff. Pour it over my granola all the time

They're actually not too bad. I tried one, can't remember which flavor it was. I really enjoyed it, other than the fact that the artificial flavor and coloring sent me to the hospital after drinking. I was at the hospital for about 4 weeks, my grandmother was very spooked. My family didn't even bother suing, but I did not care about that. I was at critical status during my check, but other than that, pretty good!

Are you saying that you have a severe allergy to coloring and flavorings, but decided to just drink something new without checking the nutritional facts?

You must love living dangerously!

This. The plain is alright, but the flavors are highly sweet. They are very drinkable, smoothie consistently. I kind of drink it down fast, or else pour it over some mueslix the night beforehand.

There's a new one in my Publix, Greek Gods which has a thicker and more delicious consistency, and lighter flavors like basic honey. But, it has a very narrow top for such a thick viscous nature, and I think 25% stays in the bottle, coating the sides. Sucks.

Plain with cucumber, dill, garlic, walnuts. Delicious tarator.

Last time I drank some I coughed so hard that it caused pain in my head (and a headache after) until I coughed up some kind of slime.
I mean I like it, and if anyone needs it for digestive purposes, its me. But that hurt.

Kefir from a store has to be pasturised. The whole point of drinking kefir is for the beneficial effects from the bacteria and yeast within. Homemade also tastes nothing like store bought.

Storebought bacteria still has beneficial bacteria. It's just not as potent as homemade. It's better than nothing.

Homemade is also super easy to fuck up. If you aren't sterile, you can fuck yourself up really bad from bad bacteria getting in it.

There's a small amount like in Kombucha since the stuff is fermented. Getting drunk off the stuff would be pretty damn hard though

Coming from a country where dairy and milk products are 9000 times more advanced and better than anywhere in the west, it is truly humorous seeing brits and shit discovering that yogurth is not meant to be 0 fat and that sour cream, kefir and cheese besides cheddar exists.

Yes you can get drunk off real kefir, I don't know about this fake garbage, but real kefir is fermented milk pmuch.

Not uncommon to have people drink it, drive, get pulled over by po po and blow a nice number on the alcohol test.
