I second that motion! There are so many great flavors. If you don't drink alcohol for the taste, even a little bit, then you must only drink one kind. My next question would be "How did you decide on drinking that one kind?" Let me guess.....TASTE. :roll:

Not anyone in Texas, apparently. Must be why you can only get 3 maybe 4 different beers there.

Pretend that drinking makes people more interesting and girls more attractive and dont think about the taste.

To paraphrase the gentalman before me... "They come into this rat hole, pick me out of the crowd and ask me!"

I can't really help you out with the whole acquiring a taste for Gin thing, but for Bourbon, maybe I can. Okay, repeat after me, "Wheated Bourbons." Wheated Bourbons are basically Bourbons that along with the ever present corn, replace the rye in the mash with wheat. These Bourbons are usually less harsh (spicy) and more forgiving on the palate than their "Ryed" comrades. It looks as though you've already discovered the classic example that is Maker's Mark, but don't stop there. Here's a few more: Rebel Yell, Old Fitzgerald versions, W.L. Weller versions, and I believe some of the younger bottlings of Van Winkle. Technically not a Bourbon, but Bernheim Wheat Whiskey may be worth checking out if you can find it. I'm sure there are more, but these suggestions should keep you busy for a while. Good luck, and enjoy the experience.

I'll second that.

When good booze is about, I drink and enjoy and get drunk.

When no good booze is about I drink whatever I can get my hands on and get drunk. Once drunk, you can enjoy.
Everyone should believe in something.... I believe I'll have another drink.
