Maybe this is me coming from a binge booze culture, but taste is not the only reason alcoholic beverages are drunk. There is also the alcohol, for the purpose of you know getting drunk. And then taste is just in the way.

Some people actually manage to fool themselves that taste is what they're doing it for.

I regard getting drunk as a pleasant occupational hazard. However, if getting drunk is the sole intent, then you don't need to buy beer. Just get a bottle of cheap vodka and neck it. Plastered in under half an hour.

But why? What's the point?

Vodka has greater risk of overshooting and passing out or spending the rest of the night puking.

Also, in Denmark at least, the vodka that gets you drunk cheaper than beer tastes like they dried it with benzene. Even diluting it 5:1 in cola will not overpower the aftertaste.

But if you just want to get drunk, who cares ?

If you want to enjoy the process, then we're back on my turf
