Hey /ck/, I was wondering if there was a corrilation between ethnicity and alcohol. I found that I enjoy as a white male more bitter and hard drinks only with the occasional miles and martinis where as my black friends tend to enjoy sweeter stuff that I can't stand. I'm assuming it might be linked to our tastebuds, but it may also be a regional thing. What do you think?

It's probably more to do with your gut bacteria that drives your cravings then anything else, but those are affected by region and genetics.

>> No.8398136

I think it's a culture thing. Black/white trash culture likes the sweeter stuff to mask the flavor of poverty booze so they can just get drunk quick. Middle class and higher income people tend to have the money to blow on better end booze where you can actually discern some flavor other than burning

I have nothing to escape from - my life is pretty good. So I drink mostly because I like the taste, and I like being just a little bit buzzed but still functional.

If I was a poor nigger or white trash and had something to escape from, I'd just want to get drunk FAST, and sweet drinks might make that easier.

Iktf bro. Except it was only one guy and we had a business-like relationship that revolved around him sucking me off. If you dated 10 guys you're probably pretty faggy.

black nigga here

in my experience, it's a culture thing before genetics thing. poor people love sugar, and most black folks are poor. I experience the same phenomena you described on a daily basis, but i was raised by a loco old whore who drank too much and hated sugar. she raised us eating salt in cornbread, kool aid, oat meal, watered the fuck out of any juice or cold drink we had and used to bake fucking atrocious rubbery sugarless cakes. by sugarless, i do not mean artificial sweetener, i mean no sweetener. bitch put salt in her coffee and cornflakes. she forbade us to smoke weed, because it was illegal, yet encouraged us to drink as minors which was also illegal as hell, and i actually went to jail for it twice. by the time i decided to smoke weed, i was too old, it makes me sick to this day. on the other hand, my peers were all dumping sugar on red sauce, beans and rice, oatmeal, cereal, toast, in perfectly natuarly sweet orange juice or milk and blowing whole checks on weed, or likewise sleeping with the weed man, stealing hubcaps or scrapping metal., or some of them, working several jobs. none of them drank until they began going to clubs, and none of them drink for enjoyment, they only drink socially. they only drink what is palatable or expensive, like steel reserve blackberry or hennessey. not a one of them really likes henny, but it looks good on instagram.

tldr i was raised without the excessively sugary diet of the poor and did not smoke weed everyday

most black people were raised on the accessable excessivley sugary diet of the poor and do not drink so when they choose alcohol, they choose what looks palatable, whatever looks like it tastes like candy

I'm white middle class and I don't really enjoy alcohol at all. Beers all taste like shit to me, either too bitter, too hopsy, or, in the case of light beers like bud lite too much like weird water. In the case of hard liquor i can do shots of whiskey or jager without any problems, but usually end up being forced to do vodka because that's what people bring to parties. I fucking hate tequila, but that might just be because I've only really ever had access to shit tequila. Rum is alright.

Personally, I like apple cider more than any other alcoholic drink. I usually like to bring a sixpack of Reds to a party and then drink five of them. Also, I tend to prefer to smoke marijuana more than I enjoy drinking. While I do enjoy the flavor of some strains of marijuana, it's mostly just about being more responsible high than drunk, which is important to me in the case of an emergency. Maybe that adds to my distaste for most alcohol, usually going for a Whiskey and coke or rum and coke if apple cider isn't available, which it almost never is.

You might also enjoy something like a dunkel, marzen, or a light porter. They aren't bitter or hoppy at all.

It's not about race. It's about the people you are raised with. People influence your actions.

White people are raised around other white people. White people tend to be more homophobic about their drinks. White guys are peer pressured into buying "manlier" drinks because that's just what the status quo dictates.

Black people (and non white people in general) don't peer pressure each other about beer like white people do. Non white people grow up around other non white people who like sugary drinks. Therefore they grow up thinking it's okay to give yourself diabetes.

Not sure of the science of *why* people prefer different things, but I recall in heavily researched studies on Coke vs Pepsi 30 years ago, black Americans preferred Pepsi by a much wider margin than whites. (For non-oldfags, the research led to a huge "Pepsi challenge" ad campaign where side by side comparisons were set up at stores around the country, and recorded for commercials, and eventually Coke's "New Coke" (sweeter formulation) debacle). Whether it's something genetic, or cultural, or something else, the preference for sweeter beverages by blacks at that time seemed like accepted scientific fact, by the conglomerates who spent studying such things.

Well I'm sorry but it really does matter. Its not my fault you are too mixed to have a valuable heritage.
Both indians and mongolians are "asians" but regarding this exact topic, their tastes when it comes to food, and even genetic predispositions for taste are different. For example: some asians are very lactose intolerant, others are not. Some cant process indian spices without pissing out of their ass, others can. A scandinavian and an italian will also have different tastes in regards to everything from alcohol to desserts.
Some white ethnicities can drink hard liquor while other ethnicities have a high percentage of people allergic to alcohol/prone to alcohol poisoning.

Skin colour is just one of many traits that depends on ethnicity, and skin colour has little to do with food and drink, while other differences matter a lot more. French people for example, are very short on average. Yugoslavs are 2nd tallest in the world, this difference in bodymass affects alcohol tolerance, so a frenchman is less likely to regularly indulge in hard liquor while a serb is more likely to treat wine/beer as a juice.
