Water, coffee, whiskey, wine. Drink alcohol maybe once or twice a month, coffee and water daily.

All S tier.

Hard disagree with whiskey.

How you gonna say wine and coffee then be hyper specific with what liquor? Just say liquor.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There's just as much variation in whiskey as there is with wine and coffee, honestly.

[–] Kittenstix@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean there's just as much variation with gin, and gin is my s tier liquor, but it's not everyone's. That's my point.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sure, I was just giving my S tier as well.

[–] Kittenstix@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ohhh, ok i misunderstood then, mb thought you were saying it should be everyone's

I have every confidence this is a gigabrain take that everyone will agree with

grappa should have its own sub-basement-shit-tier as both a liquor, alcoholic beverage and beverage in general.

fuck grappa. all my homies hate grappa

[–] Kittenstix@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

But im sure there are people out there that would put grappa as their s-tier liquor, ultimately that was what I was trying to say, that by putting liquor as s-tier everyone can put their favorite in that slot.

I have had grappa that sent me to another planet for the depth of flavor. I have never been able to actually find a bottle of good grappa and have long since given up. But I know that good grappa does exist

Here's my own controversial take:

Any and all alcoholic beverages taste like garbage, people simply get used to the bad taste because they're expected to drink it and/or are alcoholics.

Countless times i've been offered drinks that "taste good", or that "you can barely taste the alcohol" and every single time they taste terrible. Even when there's a hint of flavor behind it all, it is utterly ruined by the taste of alcohol.

No amount of seasoning is gonna make your food taste good if you've already taken a dump on it.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

I can definitely see how you would feel that way, but for me, there's definitely a whole world of depth of flavor brought out via fermentation, which includes alcoholic beverages. I don't personally care for the alcohol content usually, but the flavor is truly unique and can be special.
