Default Re: is drinking alcohol an acquired taste?

I'll just come out and say it. The people that say they like the taste of any alcoholic beverage are simply mired in denial about the fact that they're doing a hard drug and will go to great lengths to delude themselves. Sure, some alcoholic beverages are more palatable than others but your little kid taste buds were right.

wow, you are very wrong, at least in my case.

I'm not a big drinker and do not like "getting wasted." I do, however, love a good beer while watching the game and grilling some steaks, or enjoying a wonderful bottle of wine when I dine out.

It's all because of the taste, not the "buzz." Does the buzz contribute to the experience? I'm sure it does, but it's not the reason I drink wine or beer.

And I do agree that good wine, like certain foods, is an acquired taste.
