Misadventures in a bar
15 years ago
So I went to a party the other night to celebrate someone's 29th birthday, and I figured since we were at a bar I'd give a couple of drinks a shot. I'm not a big drinker mind you. Someone bought a round of Patron or everyone, so that was a no brainer. When it comes to shots I found I can take them.. because they're shots, they're meant to go down fast. Then I thought I would try a beer... Guiness to be exact. Whoever though this nasty gruel was a good drink needs to be drug out on the street and shot. And if this is good beer, then I'm just not interested in beer anymore, period. Maybe I'm just a guy that's too spoiled on sweet drinks to appreciate alcohol.
If I want to get an alcoholic drink anymore, I don't go for straight stuff. I get mixed drinks of forms, like Mudslides, margaritas, malt drinks like Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade and related stuff. Tho now, apparently there's a new can called Mike's Harder Lemonade. Trust me, the name isn't kidding. It's still lemonade-y, but it has a -heck- of a kick too. I'm really hooked on that stuff. Thank gods I'm poor, or I'd probably be a heavy drinker just by that stuff alone. Even if that's impossible. I've found out.. I can't reach drunk. I pass out first. :P I just get more and more sleepy with a few drinks, and after probably 3-5 depending on alcoholic potency, boom. I'm out cold. No drunk, just straight to sleep. :(
But yeah, in response to what you said, most 'normal' alcoholic drinks like beer, wine, or any 'hard' stuff like whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, those kinds of things, all have a rather acquired taste to them. If you don't like it, don't worry. Your nowhere near alone on that!
