Alcohol/tea/coffee taste absolutely terrible and the only reason people drink them is due to social pressure & tradition.

Tea and coffee can be nice but you’re right about alcohol.

>>212030659 (OP)
You are either really young or really sheltered and I know which one is most likely. But I won't tell, don't worry.

>>212030851
I am neither young nor sheltered and have drank all three. They all taste awful, though.

Tea is good, not plain black tea but some varieties

you never had good coffee, which is fine since its extremely expensive (not as much as wine though)

coffee tastes good if you put sugar a lot

>>212031117
I'm willing to accept this might be the case, though I'm also not bothered to fork out the money for this alleged good coffee.

Beer tastes good. Coffee tastes good. Tea tastes good.
You're a retard.

>>212031559
Beer is the least alcohol tasting alcohol I've ever had. It still tastes like shit. Coffee tastes awful. Tea is only slightly bearable when you put tons of milk and sugar in it.

>>212030659 (OP)
Bad coffee can be absolutely disgusting. But good coffee would be ambrosia to me even if I were not a thoroughly chemically dependent caffeine addict of many years standing.

And of course there’s no single taste of alcohol, good or bad—pure ethanol is almost completely tasteless, it just provokes a burning sensation. It’s all the other compounds in alcoholic beverages that deliver the drinks’ wide range of flavors. When people say “they don’t like the taste of alcohol,” they either mean that they don’t like the way it feels, or they’re not being specific.

I used to like some of the tastes of various varieties of wine, beer, and spirits, but I turned out to be an alcoholic and eventually gave it up. Some of the flavors I once sincerely enjoyed literally turn my stomach now.

>>212031609
That's because you're a retard.

>>212030659 (OP)
Tea is pretty good with sugar but the other 2 are trvkes

>>212031197
and that's fine, only do it if it interests you
the coffee price is also on a historical peak, so not a good time to start either

>>212030659 (OP)
Good tea/coffee/alcohol tastes great, but the majority of people drink cheap mass-produced shit that tastes bad.

>>212030659 (OP)
Nah but it's gotta be made just right and drank at exactly the right time (for coffee and tea)

>>212030659 (OP)
I love cold beer in hot summer

For good filter coffee, you just need freshly roasted beans, a decent burr grinder and a relatively inexpensive brewer (aeropress, french press, v60, etc.). You'll have to pay a little bit up front, but after that you're just paying for beans. Coffee only really gets expensive when you start looking at espresso.

>>212030659 (OP)
It's called an acquired taste you manchild.

Genuinely love the taste of all that stuff
Bitter things are delicious to me

>>212033293

>Coffee only really gets expensive when you start looking at espresso
that's the only good coffee toughbeit

>>212030659 (OP)
I used to drink and it is fine, I don't drink anymore because it isn't good for my health and it is not like I can spare any health. I don't know what is your problem with tea, don't you life fruit? Get any fruit that you like, put it in boiling water and say that you don't like (your favorite fruit tea). What the fuck is wrong with you?

>social pressure
you think I have friends or something

>>212030659 (OP)
Coffee tastes good, beer tastes good.
I don't know what to tell you, adults like certain bitter flavors that people with underdeveloped tastes can't appreciate.
Although there is also a genetic aspect to this as certain genes causes taste receptors to act differently from one person in to another, like with Brussels sprouts being disgusting for some but delicious for others.
>Beer is the least alcohol tasting alcohol I've ever had
It's just a drink, it has alcohol in it but it's its own thing. What does "alcohol-tasting" even mean?

>>212033002
Also this. I'm sure I would think the same if my only experience of these drinks were black reheated coffee or bud light

>>212030659 (OP)
chai tastes heavenly fym

For some reason I’m not big on coffee but I love coffee flavored things.
I’m a big tea guy.
Alcohol is kind of gross. I like some wine and gin.

>Alcohol
you can get cocktails that can be as sweet as you want, there's beer for sorts of tastes
>Coffee/Tea
you don't have to be socially pressured into drinking these with no milk and sugar. i like straight tea but coffee i usually have with milk.
