I hope my squadmates don't disown me for this, but I just don't get it. I've had very good vodka, courtesy of my hussar brethren. But to me, vodka just tastes like alcohol and water. The good quadruple distilled potato vodka has even less taste. Pearls before swine. The only alcohol I find genuinely tasty besides good beer is tequila. Mmmmm a doble de Patron would go down just right about now..

That's the idea. You get rid of all the crappy tasting impurities. All other distilled spirits are just primitive cultures' failed attempts to make vodka.

Between things that taste good and things that taste nothing, I chose wheat beer.. and a good tequila.

A good red wine beats beer and especially vodka any day.

Fish is the symbol of health, similarly fruit is the symbol of freshenss. To partake of it in it's rotten state is contra-natural.

I think that's what turns me off the most about wine. If you've ever been around a pile of rotting berries or fruit..the smell.. that's what wine tastes like.

A good beer is like a good bread. Wholesome, fullfilling, tastey.

Beer is an extract or rotten grain. It's not much different from wine count out the raw material.

It's painfully obvious you've never had the opportunity to try a good wine Suave.

Of interest, I read a story where some enterprising college students discovered that if you run super cheap (aka, plastic bottle) Vodka through a Britta filter once or twice, it tastes like expensive super vodka.

Ummmm....no its not. Beer is made from a mash involving malted barley. Nothing rotten in it at all. The closest you get to rotten stuff in beer is the bacteria cultures used to make Lambic ales. Try educating yourself next time before you open your mouth.
