Would I drink alcohol if it didn't get me drunk? No. I like the flavor profiles of gin and wine (they're the only drinks I ever take neat) but I can't stand the smell of whiskey or the burn in my mouth (even if it's a $500 bottle) and it's a chore to get through my glass every time. I think I may even find the expensive ones harder to drink? Luckily for me, I figured I can drink practically ANYTHING as long as there's mixers and I'm not even picky about what goes in there. Anything from lemon to fruit juice to coke is fair game.
