No, alcohol does not actually taste good.

Contrary to what some people tell me when I ask them why they drink alcohol, Alcoholic drinks do NOT taste good. Some taste better than others but I will never accept the concept that they actually taste good. If you like fruity drinks it is because of the fruit, not the alcohol. If you like dark beer it is an acquired taste as you probably tried to find a beer you liked to fit in. Here is my favorite test. Does it taste better than a milkshake? If the answer is "no" then why do you bother.
