Some drinks taste okay like lollie drinks haha but I don't drink because I like the taste is what Im saying. If I wanted to drink something because I thought it tasted good alcohol would not be my first choice.
Alcoholic Drinks that taste good:
Beer
Scotch
Bourbon
Jack
Gin
Vodka
Tequila
Did I mention Beer?
Liqeuers
schnapps
cider
triple sec
rum

I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

Basically Smokkee is an immature slurry

Edit: Infact I dislike most "lollie drinks" because they don't taste like alcohol.

Hah, you're a pain in the arse graney. Granted, czech absinthe is typically of the boho style, but it was certainly better than the watered down rubbish that mostly gets imported here.
What is your source that says absolutely no one out there is making authentically distilled absinthe, using distilled oils, fennel, anise, wormwood etc?
I read an article years ago that, since it was banned and production halted for so many years, authentic recipes and techniques just weren't preserved. Beyond generalities, the exact details of what absinthe was traditionally made of are a bit of mystery.

What's produced now is an approximation at best.

But idk, my reading may be inaccurate. Regardless, who cares about authenticity. It doesn't matter. It's either a good drink or it's not, that's all that should matter.

I can stand anything, but I won't drink any clear spirits ever if I can avoid it.

Even mixed, foul aftertaste the lot of them.

I tried strawberry bubbly and raspberry bubbly the other week.

Trashy as fuck but delicious and cost-effective.

I dunno about that, smirnoff and that is disgusting i'll agree, but my boyfriends grandparents brought over a few bottles of vodka when they were visiting from Russia and it was actually really nice to drink straight.

For me, its beer straight up. XXXX or Pure Blonde always lead to great nights sitting round a campfire. After that, I'd have to go for the good old shots of whatever spirits are lying around.
The only problem I have with beer is the need to piss like all hell after a big night. I mean seriously, once that golden seal is gone, your shot!

I must enrol in a wine course.

Tell the difference between Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Carbanet, merlot..

red vs wine is pretty easy.
telling the difference between different reds' are pretty hard.

beer is just plain gross.
i like my wine, but it seems to give me fairly bad hangovers. (car trip syd - melb on new yrs day put me off for ages)
i love my spirits, but i'm a bit of a cheap drunk so i cant be drinking too much too quick. last time i made that mistake i had thrown up over my friends apartment and passed out by 8 pm.
cocktails are awesome though =) and they look oh so classy (at least the good ones do)
and i think having a good time is way more important, you dont wanna get too smashed or you just look like the fool.
