I feel that. There’s always that one drink you can’t stand but end up sipping anyway just because it’s there or it’s the cheapest option available.
For me, it was always those overly sweet, bottom-shelf vodkas, tasted like rubbing alcohol mixed with sugar, but they got the job done when the budget was tight. Sometimes you just prioritize the effect over the actual flavor.
I agree to a certain degree, I believe there are usually extenuating circumstances why one drinks those type of drinks you’ve mentioned, and it’s usually to for a “quick high” or to escape something. Personally, I never drink anything I do not enjoy, but then I drink for taste / enjoyment, and it’s usually includes a coffee mix ( black coffee with Irish Whisky / Brandy/ Cognac).
That’s the thing senile1, just glad those guys @ Carlsberg got it just about right.
