I'm still baffled as to how people drink gin or any liqor. It all tastes like putrid after shave (at least, I imagine it does). How do people manage to get past the first glass of the revolting, noxious fluid? Yuk.

I haven't tried gin but I do like tequila and vodka, but always with some juice (orange for both or grape with the vodka) or some soda, never neat.

You just need to persevere. In grey-dim memory I recall beer tasting foul the first time I tried it, but then practise practise practise and it's one of my favourite beverages now. To quote the so-far un-sex-scandled Roy Castle "dedication's all you need."
“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed”
“One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated”Sir Thomas More (1478 – 1535)

Quote:
A recent study at the University of Illinois tested the creative problem solving ability of a group of men who were given vodka cranberry and snacks and asked to solve brain teasers. The results were starkly different for the tispy group, which had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.075, versus the control group: Astonishingly, those in the drinking group averaged nine correct questions to the six answers correct by the non-drinking group. It also took drunk men 11.5 seconds to answer a question, whereas non-drunk men needed 15.2 seconds to think. Both groups had comparable results on a similar exam before the alcohol consumption began.

Damn. I went there for four years, and participated in a few studies, but nothing even close to that good... :(

0. I get a discount; works out Gordon's is around the same price. 1. I'd rather pay extra than go to Aldi

The only thing more vomitable than the smell and taste of gin is the smell and taste of gin being vomited. "I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out of focus monster roaming the countryside. Run." -Mitch Hedberg

Generally, peer pressure. :laugh: Eventually it just doesn't bother you anymore.
I think my dad was clever. When I was about 14 he said "There's all the drink. Take what you want." I had one sniff and felt sick. Never touched it since. Horrible stuff - now, of course, I'd have no tolerance for it so probably get drunk on fumes. :-)

I had a similar experience with beer. My parents never had much hard liquor around me though, and they let me drink wine on holidays (never really been a fan though, even now, just did it because that's what the adults were doing). But related to what I said, my first experience with hard liquor was with a bunch of guys I lived with my sophomore year of college. 10 shots of tequila later, I was feeling pretty good and decided it was worth the awful taste. :laugh:

Tried it a few times as a proper grown up and still hated it. C'est la vie...
