Am I weird for not liking alcoholic beverages?

Question

I dont like beer, whiskey or any other alcohol really unless its mixed with so much stuff that I cant taste it.
Pretty much everyone I know likes some type of alcohol, I seem to be the only one who doesn't. Am I weird?

Thanks for calling me names, thats what I get from alot of people. Why am I a nerd or "goody-two-shoes" just because I dont like alcohol?

Answer 1

nope your not,. u just happend not to like them, maybe other people dont like things that you may happend to like for example I love HIPPOS** and not everyone agrees with me that they are cute.***

Answer 2

No, most alcoholic beverages don't taste good. That's why when you see people taking shots the often cringe. It's an unpleasant thing.

When people say that they like an alcohol, it is because they like it better than others, but it's not like they like it more than grape kool-aid. Whiskey doesn't bother me, so it's my favorite, but I would not just drink it with a cheeseburger.

And as for beer, it really is an acquired taste. It used to seriously gross me out. But now I will just drink it when I'm thirsty. And of course I have my preferred beer brands as well.

The whole point in drinking alcohol is for the effect that it has on the body not on the taste buds.
My suggestions, if you really want to drink, experiment. Be responsible, find out what you like. Have fun! and be safe.

Not weird no.
I am awkward when I go out with my mates.
I have a very limited sense of taste, and this can go either way...! Either they use my lack of taste to try to get me as drunk as possible, which (not trying to brag honest!) is extremely difficult! I am usually the one left standing at the end of the night, and when I cant even taste the drinks I am being fed they kinda loose their appeal!
Or I just dont bother. What’s the point?! If an alcoholic drink costs double that of a soft drink, but tastes the same...?!
So I dont often drink either. In fact one of the few alcoholic drinks I can taste is beer, and I think it is disgusting!!!

No, but I am guessing you drink really bad alcohol. Try better alcohols and spirits. You don't have to drink them straight, but mix them with liqueurs that you like the taste of (DeKupyer's makes tons of different flavors). When drinking beers, buy something classier, like Wheat Beers. Blue Moon is a popular Belgian Wheat that tastes pretty good, and add an orange slice to give it a whole new dimension. Just work on it and you'll find that some beer and liquor are much better than others.

Answer 5

Well, I don't think you're weird, or a goody-two-shoes. You just have particular taste buds, and lucky for you, you'll be healthier for it.

I've only been of legal age for a year, and before that I never drank, aside from an occassional cooler or sip of wine. Now, I have a few things that I like, but other than that? I dislike most alcohol. You just have to experiment and see what you like. Or, stick to soda and always know that your friends will have a safe (sober!) ride home if they need it.

Answer 6

Am I weird for not liking milk? Even if it were some strange anomoly, who cares? It doesn't affect anyone but you. Alcohol can be an acquired taste but if you don't like it then that's fine.

Oh and if people call you names because you don't drink then just realize the alchol they have consumed has unfortunately killed too many brain cells.

If you are tired of people asking you about it though, simply BYOB at parties (bring a non-alcholic drink with you) and at bars ask for a fruity drink made virgin.

I don't drink everytime I go out, I'm not always in the mood, and then I just order coke. No one has ever said anything to me other then "not drinking tonight?". You may just be surounded by a lot of idiots.

Answer 7

I am the exact same way! I found that doing shots of Grey Goose vodka is the easiest way to drink. I absolutely love it when it is in the form of a lemon shot! The California car bombs are pretty easy to drink as well!! Other wise I need to ahve a mixed drink that has lots of mixer. Pineapple flavored drinks are very good at disguising the taste.

Answer 8

Not at all , I think it is beer not to drink usually when people drink they think there having fun , but they just get loud and obnoxious,,, not all the people some can have a few drinks and be okay... just depends ... I think you are unique,, and your parents should be proud of you with so much pier pressure these days , and you standing up for what you believe in... p.s I use to drink but I have children and I didnt like the message I was sending out to my children , I am a non-drinker...NOPE not even on holiday's.....

Answer 9

Alcohol does taste bad. You hide the taste, most do when they start drinking. Kinda like coffee.
Eventually the bad taste becomes a thing associated with the activity so we learn t like it.
We do this with many bad tastes, chilis, sour things, tart things.
The more you drink alcohol the easier it is to tolorate the taste.

Answer 10

Not at all. If you don't like it, why would you drink it?

Alcohol can cause a lot of problem, and it really has no socially redeeming qualities. I feel sorry for people who have alcohol related problems. The smartest course of action is the stay away from it.

Answer 11

No u'r not weird. Everybody has there preferences in life. I use to love beer but now I hate it. I then went to drinking straight vodka and southern comfort..after doing that for a year I got bored and now I only drink mixed drinks such as cranberry grape with vodka or reg. malt beverages.
