I was cursed (blessed?) to find the taste of nearly all alcohol kind of repulsive (especially beer), and I almost never drink anymore as a result.
While most bars will happily serve me Diet Coke when I ask for it (sometimes for free depending on the city), I gotta say that it does a pretty good job making me look fairly lame around my friends or coworkers.
Maybe some alcohol-free booze would help with that.
- semicolon_storm 5y agoA Diet Coke in a class is indistinguishable from a rum & coke.
- Kluny 5y agoWhere I'm from, they go to a lot of effort to make it look obviously different. Soft drinks will come in a large glass which is different from a pint glass that's used for beer, and will always have a straw and ice unless you ask them to leave it out. Rum and coke comes in a highball glass, no straw, usually a garnish, and no ice unless you ask for it.
- burnte 5y agoI'm also a super-taster, especially bitter far more than anything else. So until I discovered some German hefeweizens like Weihenstephaner (especially the kristalweiss) or Franziskaner, and sometimes Paulaner, I ghated all beers. Now I only hate ALMOST all beers. :D Note, the hops in beer has a much stronger bitter effect than the alcohol, so I looked for beers without hops, which are the hefesweizens. Non-alcholic beer with hops tastes just as bad as alcoholic beers.
- leetcrew 5y agoif appearances are important, consider ordering a club soda with lime. bartenders will usually understand that it ought to look like a gin and tonic.
