I know that feel. I have always been worried about gaining weight from alcohol and obsess over it

That's why I buy the cheapest, strongest whisky I can drink straight with ease (currently I like a cheap 90 proof canadian whisky). I think vodka, rum and other sprits are nasty.
idk, maybe I have the palate of a child and can't appreciate "complex" and "refined" flavors, but I don't think anything with alcohol tastes "good": beer, wine, mixed drinks anything... I think mead is the only alcoholic drink I like the taste.
This is me
With my job and all the shitty and frustrating retro games I play, I just want to get hammered. As long as it tastes good enough to drink it straight without gagging, I don't care

and also I have only tried whiskey from
