I actually don't like the flavor.

Never really drank it, even when I was in college, desperate, and someone else was buying.

I have had grain, everclear, corn likker, and other varieties of alcohol you can see through. I find a G&T a pleasant summertime refresher, but don't go out of my way to buy or make them. I have avoided the whole martini fad, because many varieties of martini involve my other nemesis ... the olive. Cocktail onion availability is unreliable, and I don't really see the point of them either.

I just plain don't like vodka. It's the taste. It does really have one and it is not good.

I got horribly sick on JD as a young lass, but I still like that. I just don't try to recreate that scene with Marion near the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark. And yes, I did win. I didn't puke until several hours later. The loser passed out, but she really wasn't up to the challenge at that point.

I'm getting more into wine lately. My friends clearly are not. I took some red wine to a party, left it out on a counter to get back to room temperature. When I asked where it got to, I learned that I had to rescue it from the refrigerator.

They only buy sweet or fizzy wines it seems, and the idea that a beverage should not be chilled hadn't occured to them.
