    they all just taste bad

    Is it that hard to believe people like some alcohols just because they like the taste? And that they can stop at just one?

      It’s not hard to believe. I’ve seen it happen after all.

      It’s hard to UNDERSTAND. I’m not gonna call you names if you like bitter beers or whatever… I just plain ol’ don’t get how.

      Because to me all bitter flavours feel like a punishment.

        It’s an acquired taste. As a kid you might just want to look cool drinking beer. By the time that passes (if it does), the bitterness doesn’t taste quite as bitter anymore, and other tastes come through. Same for spirits and the burning sensation.
