I know the author’s being a little tongue in cheek, but you could say this about anything that is an acquired taste: “stop pretending to like coffee.” “Stop pretending to like tea.”
I personally think it’s amazing they can make beer that tastes like a juice blend with alcohol using only hops; and yes, it tastes delicious.
- wakamoleguy 9y agoAgreed. Some people like it, some people don't. Maybe a more general suggestion is "If you don't like something, stop pretending you do." There are a ton of social reasons why one might keep up appearances, though, so that's probably not a useful suggestion either.
- dcwca 9y agoAgreed. It’s easy to see how the psychoactive effect of alcohol (or coffee) can build a positive association with any bitter or poison taste over time. The brain is very easy to trick. Bundle an endorphin release with any other stimulation repeatedly, and you will grow to love that sensation, as sure as Pavlov’s Dog drools at a bell. The only blocker is closed mindedness.
