I'm wanting to upscale my manliness with Vodka to Kettle One. Screw being 'uppity' with the Goose...I wanna go Gentleman Vodka.With alcohol, it's much more about what alcohol you're drinking. I find Smirnoff to be akin to Listerine, but Absolut, and Stolichnaya? Fabulous! (I'm a student; I don't drink the Goose )
I agree with you with the exception that out of all the alcohols I've had...nothing is making me used to Scotch. I don't drink enough of Scotch to get a pallet for.Alcohol in general, does have an aquired taste - but find a drink you like, and it's a lot easier to become accustomed to the other stuff. There was a time, not many moons ago, where the only alcohol I could handle the taste of was 'girlie' drinks like daquiris, pina coladas (not that man can't drink those... I think it looks a silly when the man drinking it is not at an island resort, though), and champagne. Now, I can't imagine life without my shirazes, chardonnays, and pinot grigios.
I've gotten out of hard liquor. Before I moved where I'm at, all I had was hard liquor in my little cabinet. So I drank it all up but the Vermouth because I was broke and I had to drink it up.
The affect was now, I'm not in the mood for liquor unless it is a White Russian or a shot to have with a friend. Like I've had only 2-3 White Russians, a shot of Crown Royal, and a shot called, "Wet Crotch" and that is it of the liquors. Which is odd when just a year ago, I was dancing with my Hennessy, or going to sleep with some Gin or Gentleman Jack. To now only drinking beer and once in awhile a bottle of wine??? Yea my secret is, I only drank straight liquor, or mixing straight liquors with other liquors for almost 3 months straight when it came to drinking that it has taken me around a year and a half to even be open minded to having another mixed drink besides a White Russian.
Give me my beer and wine any time though...preferably beer though. I am with my beer as you are with your wines. I can't imagine life without my Porters, Lagers, Belgians, my IPA's, my Double Bocks, my Wheat Beers.
I do agree with you on the guy holding a pina colada and daqueri.
There are times trashiness is akin to being a goddess.I blame my mother. We never had beer in the house (my father's a rum man), and my ma (wino forever) always said it looked trashy for a woman to be drinking beer. Anytime I drink it, I can't get her voice out of my head.
