I used to think that way too. Only bought the cheap stuff until one day
someone gave me a bottle of Glenlivet scotch. I rarely buy it because I
don't want to mortgage the house, but now I *do* know the difference. :-)

Have to agree, bought some really high dollar Scotch for New Years Eve in
1954 while in Japan. Flavor wasn't the same but it was as smooth as
chocolate milk. I was asleep before midnight. Had to quit that sort of thing
though, my Dad was alcoholic and I figured I'd probably inherited the gene.

That's just it for me. I don't want to run the risk, and after seeing what
it did to friends and relatives as well, it made up my mind in high school.
Tried it. It tasted AWFUL no matter what, so I prefer a Coke. Oh, if someone
insists I take a sip with him, I will. But since I simply do not like the
taste of alcoholic drinks, I simply drink enough to satisfy the buyer and
let it go. I just don't like it the same way some people don't like broccoli
or cauliflower and I never will.

Well good for you if you don't like Little John Barleycorn. But I find
it ironic that you consider that cola beverages taste good. I always
considered them as probably what carbonated battery acid tastes like.

And the caffeine in them is also a drug, of which a lot of people take
too much of.
