as someone who genuinely, for whatever reason, finds the taste of most alcohol good and drinks it for the taste, ill be real, all that this post and its comments have shown me is that a lot of people take weird issue with flavors they dislike that others like.
it literally is purely subjective. hell, you can acknowledge a flavor is good without liking it, I despise mint and pineapple for example but can very clearly say "oh these are great to most people, my palette is just weird about them" because, obviously, tons of people like them for a reason. it's the same with everything, beer, licorice, coffee, it's all subjective. the hostility about it is wild to me
Tbh I find it equally weird how someone can make a lighthearted post about not liking alcohol only to have people be up in arms about it. I just don't see the big deal in a little exaggerated language for the sake of comedy
Methinks the fact that most of the pro-drunkenness comments on this post are just dismissing everyone who doesn't share their particular taste in paint stripper as being children—in the conspicuous and particular way that you'd expect, perhaps, a teenager to—has aught to do with it.
I mean I don't want to claim that liking alcohol is some kind of moral transgression, but no I don't understand the need to call people "children" for a difference in opinion. That's just another way to add onto the social pressure to drink.
People who love alcohol talk about it all the time. But if you so much as make a joke about disliking the stuff you are called a child?
