Seriously, I don’t get how anyone can drink that shit and enjoy it? Any time I’ve tried it just feels I’m swallowing a mouthful of acid. To each their own I guess, but to me I don’t know if I could stomach enough of it to ever get drunk
I’m an alcoholic. I hate the taste of alcohol. I think it’s kinda funny you say it tastes like acid. There’s a lot of acids that I enjoy the taste of. Tomatoes, vinegar, oranges.
Alcohol tastes bad. It’s your body correctly identifying poison. It’s bad for you. The only reason I drink so much is that everything else is so much worse. It’s basically a legal and deadly antianxiety.
I’ll never understand how or why people drink it casually. Unless you’re drinking to get drunk I cannot fathom why you’d want to drink it.

What do you mean? Alcohol is one of the harder and more addictive drugs you can do. Standard anti-deppressants aren’t nearly as bad and neither are many illicit substances like cannabis and ecstasy. There are a few that are worse (heroin, crack cocaine, maybe benzodiazepines) but I don’t think people would reach for these just to treat for anxiety.
Edit: Even Ketamine is only roughly as bad and dangerous as alcohol while being much better at treating things like depression and anxiety. It’s regularly used now to treat these disorders in treatment resistant patients. A course of treatment can last up to one month after the last dose. It’s can also be effective within one hour of the first dose.
Even “bitch drinks” like mikes hards are still almost unbearable for me and taste like absolute shut. I’ve tried tons of things, from light to hard, and 100% of them are god awful

I used to also feel this way, but people would tell me it’s an acquired taste. That sounded like bullshit to me but turned out to be true.
That being said, not drinking shouldn’t be something to have to explain or be ashamed about.

I can’t buy that stuff at a gas station. By “everything” I meant life in general.
You might want to reword that. It’s not an obvious interpretation at least to me.
It’s also not actually acidic at all and still manages to taste like that.
I’m actually aware it’s not acidic lol
I recommend not drinking straight ethanol next time, if your decide to try again
