…it didn't give you a buzz or alter your consciousness? Does it taste good to you on it's own, or because you know it will make you feel good later?

Re: Would you drink alcohol if…
Yes and No. I drink cause it does taste good to me, and I love the buzz it gives me as well.
That's like asking a pothead, would you still be smoke bud if only for the taste and not the high? Most will say hell naw!

I prob. wouldn't. Alcohol in general just doesn't taste good. You gotta mix it with something to get rid of the bitterness. You actually tolerate drinking it because you know the after effects from doing so. I like getting drunk sometimes. . I plan on getting twisted this weekend.

Re: Would you drink alcohol if…
I haven't been drunk in decades. I do like a slight feeling of relaxation a little alcohol gives, but stop before getting a buzz from it.
That's why I buy a brand of red wine that only has 11% alcohol as opposed to the norm of 12-13%
I love the red wine, so I can drink more of it without the intoxicating effects. And that 1-2% difference is quite noticeable when I drink the same amount of other wines.
So, yeah, if the red wine would taste EXACTLY like it does now, I would probably enjoy drinking it - perhaps more than the 2 glasses I now have.
However, I think they have found that a little alcohol does lower cholesterol, so I may still want the real stuff for that. Y'know it ain't no joke that my red wine with anti-oxidants is medicine.

Some of it tastes good on its own but no, it's the BUZZ that compels you.
I'm not much of a drinker though. I SMOKE my liquor!!

Sometimes a cold tasty beer doesn't need to give me a buzz. And wine. . I like how it relaxes but it's cardiac benefits still make it worth it.

Which reminds me, one of these days I'm going to have to get around to trying a bottle of plain red wine.

I would still drink margaritas and pina coladas. But as for all the other kinds, probably not.

Some sweet liquors I may still mess with. Hard liquor, nope. If I'm not gonna get that lovely consequence that I'm after, then forget it.

LOL, I guess so! I actually prefer virgin pina colada to alcoholic. I have only ever had one good one and that was in Mexico.

Very few beverages entice me just for the sake of taste. I need the buzz.
