So I heard you like alcohol?

the notion that european beer is superior to american beer used to be true, but with the "explosion" of microbrews in the past decade-ish, it's no longer an accurate assertion. In fact, "european beer" and "american" beer are largely worthless terms, as they both encompass super rich varieties. belgian trappist beer is vastly different from british ale, or german weissbeer, or czech pilsner - and those are just some examples. And as americans have really taken microbrews to their liking, american beer nowadays is largely "whatever european beer they feel like making".

I also have never tried making my own beer, but frankly it seems very easy to achieve great results. I have two friends who have been making beer that pretty much matches whatever beer I can buy anywhere, and they've both described their brewing as very effort-less.

Welcome to vietnam, where beer is 16cent per 12 oz.

A Long Island Iced Tea is a highball made with, among other ingredients, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum. A popular version mixes equal parts vodka, gin, tequila, rum, and triple sec with 1½ parts sour mix and a splash of cola. Most variants use equal parts of the main liquors but include a smaller amount of triple sec (or other orange-flavored liqueur). Close variants often replace the sour mix with lemon juice, replace the cola with actual iced tea, or add white crème de menthe; however, most variants do not include any tea, despite the name of the drink. Some restaurants substitute brandy for the tequila.

The drink has a much higher alcohol concentration (about 22 percent) than most highballs due to the several liquors and the relatively small amount of mixer. Long islands can be ordered "extra long", which further increases the alcohol to mixer ratio.

Outside the United States, this highball is often altered, due to the unpopularity of sour mix[citation needed]. Long Island Iced Tea served outside the US is often made of liquors and cola alone (without sour mix), with lemon or lime juice, orange juice or with lime cordial.

YO GUYS I HEARD YOU LIKE ALCHOHOL

so a thread was made to discuss it

actually i have a very on topic question to ask, im not a heavy drinker at all pretty much only time ive had anything to drink was when my sister took me out on my 19th birthday to do some bar hopping

my first beer tasted terrible but my sister and brother assured me that everyone hated it at first and urged me to keep drinking

i didnt drink that much had a couple bottles of beer, shot of tequila a couple shots taht i think was called a crispy crunch and a couple glasses of a drink i cant remember exactly what was, sounded like emmeretal sour or something like that but it never seemed to taste any better, since then ive had a couple bottle of beers but it still tasted bad and whatever drink theyve gotten me it always tasted bad even a drink at montanas called the smore that tasted bad but my sister insisted she couldnt even taste the alchohol in it

should i attempt to stick in it and hope i get used to it or am i just really sensitive to the taste and not going to get better?

You should reconsider Jack Daniels. If you don't like whiskey, that's alright, but there's nothing wrong with Jack. It's nowhere near as good as a lot of stuff in the whiskey thread, but you could do a lot worse.

Also, if you're mix vodka, you're dumb to buy anything more expensive than Smirnoff. It's not perfect, but it's distilled enough to be relatively flavorless.
