Is it just Jersey?

[z987k]

I just always think and assume when people say that, that they just don't like the taste. Me, tequilla tastes like ass on it's own. I love it in mixed drinks. Rum is the god of spirts(IMO). Bourbon is wonderful by itself, haven't had a scotch I've liked yet so I stay away, etc. I've been fairly inebriated on about everything, and it's never made me not want to drink it again.

It's like that stupid ass saying where you're not supposed to drink beer/wine/spirits before or after one another. That is complete and total horse ****. I'll take a bottle of wine, a couple of pints and a gin martini please!

I do get disgusted by brands that try to push themselves off as something they're not though. (jose isn't tequilla, Jameson isn't whiskey, rhum agricole typically isn't)

See, you all is crazy - It's the opposite for me.

I *love* tequila and gin. I can drink them all night long. Sure, if I get particularly ill off of them, I'll take a break... 4 or 5 days of drinking something else - e.g. beer, and I'm back on the horse. +1 on the smell of Jose being particularly off-putting.... When possible, I try to drink Patron instead - because, seriously, Patron is the liquor of the f*ing gods.

It's RUM that kicks my ass. I can't take a single rum drink without getting queasy. The sickly sweet taste of it gets right to my stomach and I'm ready to toss some eggos all over the place.

Now, to be fair: Goldschlager and Jagermeister are also two drinks I cannot stand the thought of.... but that's because I abhor both cinnamon and licorice. It's not a "bad experience" kind of thing.

Now........ my buddy who pounds Jameson straight from the bottle...... I'm not that manly, I won't lie to you.

great vid, but note the ending - Queens or South Shore. They're the ones that end up "down the shore" that gives Jersey a bad rap.

Let's not kid ourselves, here. The North American Guido is indeed indigenous to New Jersey.

And they come with El Camino accessories.

Those are not accessories. They are "Lifestyle Enhancements."

Besides, Guidos drive Camaros. Hillbillies and Kiwis drive utes.

Its not just Jersey, seems to be the most common liquor that triggers a revulsion.

I think it might be because tequila has a more distinct flavor and smell than say vodka or rum. Therefore when the person has a bad hangover after tequila they remember and associate the event more with the smell and flavor than they would connect a less distinct liquor.
Me I never had a particularly bad night, so no revulsions for me.

I do like tequila, probably because it is distinctive. I need to try me a good gin sometime as I have not had the chance yet. I also like good rums, and whiskeys. With vodka I'm like "why?". It has very little taste or aroma. It just seems like a way to add alcohol to some other drink. The sweet syrupy drinks like jager and schnapps are not very interesting to me either. They seem too artificial and definitely too sweet.

I have no tequila.
Tequila is not my tequila.
Scotch is not my tequila.
Whiskey is not my tequila.
MD 20/20 is not my tequila.
Moonshine is not my tequila.
Diesel is not my tequila.
I feel left out.


Oooooh, no wait! I got it! Campari! Campari is my frigging tequila! I had a bad experience with that once - I drank it!

Hooray! I found my tequila! <-- the dancing bannana mesmerizes me.

Wow... I haven't had that since I was like 17ish? At like $5 a bottle, it was easy to get. The only 'decent' one I think is the tangerine, when it is ICE cold. Did the job by the time you were done with the bottle though!

<- bad experience, but I grew up in upstate NY. I think its one of those universal bad experiences.
