Because it tastes bad and the people who like it tend to be extremely unlikable.

Same issue with unprocessed vs preprocessed, making it fresh with fresh ingredients is always better

>>11132334
It's not, nobody in real life with an opinion that matters cares how you get drunk

People who care about such meaningless things like that are already dead

>>11132334
>being afraid to consume something because of what someone else thinks
I remember high school.

>>11132334
Because they're overtly marketed to high-schoolers and lightweight women, which makes people reluctant to associate with them, both because of the social implication and the availability of much higher-quality alcohol.
A Mike's Hard or even Smirnoff Ice at the beach or pool is pretty good though

i just want something that gets me drunk that doesn't taste like shit

Dudebros build so much of their adulthood on teaching themselves to tolerate shitty macrobrew and bottom-shelf vodka, seeing other people simply opt out of this pointless ritual incenses them with jealousy and butthurt.

>>11132334
For some reason mike's give me a headache. I can drink shot after shot of tequila but if i drink a single can or bottle of mike's i get a splitting headache.

>>11132334
unsophisticated over-sweetened babby's first alcohol drink

>>11133263
It's the sugar. Sweetened alc Bev's like Mike's will cause worse hangovers because of the high school content. It increases your dehydration and the strain in your liver.

>>11132334
Nothing wrong with the drink, it's that the people who drink this stuff tend to be shitheaded morons. Meet enough of these dudebro cunts drinking Mike's or whatever and you develop an association.

>>11132499
This sounds hood, but does it taste good? Also any cheaper option?

>>11132604
Bottom shelf vodka is literally the same as top shelf, by law.

>>11132334
Same reason Chicago-fags started meme-ing that ketchup on hotdogs is bad, or that one mentally ill anon who keeps on posting threads about pepperoni pizza being for children. Basically anything that tastes good / sweet is considered childish by people who define their own maturity in terms of how much they deprive themselves of pleasure.

>>11132474
This is the truth

>>11132334
Just buy vodka and lemonade.

>>11133612
Don't bother.
I have no other reasoning besides it being a waste of rum.

>>11133656
Are you really going to save that much money buying vodka and lemonade separately vs. buying one vodka and lemonade combination drink?

>>11133663
Am I better off with Cuba Libre?

>>11132334
have to point out a few times in my life i dont drink
they suggest i start with spirits if its the taste i dont like(ive had wine 2 times and said it tastes rancid, because that's what wine actually IS)

as if liking flavored booze will then make me want non flavored booze...? how do these people function?
oh right they killed their brain cells with booze

An actual example of toxic masculinity. But these people will happily take a sweet as fuck cocktail and chug it down, so ignore it. I think it's more a matter of "there are better and tastier ways to get drunk", and I'm sure those Mike's will give you diabetes as opposed to making something like a Tom Collins.

>>11133761
you sound autistic

>>11133761
>as if liking flavored booze will then make me want non flavored booze...?
I haven't drank in years, but I don't get why you think that doesn't make sense. Alcoholic drinks are a substance with calories and flavor that you consume like any other food or drink, but they have an additional function as a drug. If you're already drinking regularly then you're used to the drug aspect and you acquire a familiarity for and liking of the drug aspect instead of immediately feeling repulsed by it. And if you not only feel repulsed by the alcohol itself but the flavor on top of that then you might not ever get to the point where you've acquired a taste for it. Flavored drinks like Mike's would let you get used to the drug that alcohol constitutes by slipping it into your system under the guise of lemonade. After drinking Mike's for a while you would then probably react better to other kinds of alcoholic drinks because your body would have that learned comfort level for alcohol as a drug.
It's the same deal as with cigarettes. A lot of people who had never tried cigarettes before find them disgusting when they're first exposed to it. But if you already have a habit of smoking then you've long since gotten used to it and not only do you not find them disgusting, you actually end up finding them really pleasant tasting / feeling. You could argue this isn't a good thing because alcohol and tobacco have so many health risks associated with them, but the point about how you can acquire a taste for something like alcohol by starting with a flavored drink isn't wrong.

>>11133809
so your only argument is that its a drug and the effects are all you want instead of taste?
no wonder you cant understand me your brain is ruined already

>>11133794
>i have no reply so ill just insult them

>>11133843
yep def autistic

>>11133809
>I haven't drank in years,
Consider starting again.

>>11133848
seems you are since that's your only reply

>>11133843
>so your only argument is that its a drug and the effects are all you want instead of taste?
No, that doesn't follow. You don't seem to understand the concept of "acquired taste." You start to like the taste of stuff you acquire a taste for.
>>11133859
I stopped drinking after college because I started reacting to even small amounts of alcohol with a complete inability to fall asleep. And sleep is very high up on my short list of important shit I don't abide problems for.

>>11133612
It's about 20% ABV, so it's not exactly cost effective at getting you drunk. Tastes decent though. The cute girl at the liquor store says if you mix it 1:1 with fireball it tastes like cinnamon toast crunch, but that might be a sales tactic, as I haven't tried it yet. It's pretty unique though, I don't think there's much else that does that sort of flavor unless you're looking at liquor store eggnog.

>>11133872
>You start to like the taste of stuff you acquire a taste for.
no you don't stupid, that's not what acquired taste means
if i ate liver every day wont make me like it

>>11133889
>that's not what acquired taste means
>if i ate liver every day wont make me like it
If you wouldn't like liver even though you ate it every day that would just mean you weren't able to acquire a taste for liver. Nobody claimed you can or will necessarily acquire a taste for any food or drink in existence.

>>11133914
keep up noob, follow the reply chain

the guy literally said eat something enough you will acquire a taste for it and like it, which is fucking wrong

>>11133888
Thanks for the info

>>11133936
Something, not anything.
You're really bad at logic. On a basic level you don't seem to understand which conclusions follow from which antecedents, first with thinking acquiring a taste must mean the person just wants a drug and not a taste, then with the idea you might not acquire a taste for one particular item like liver being wrongly extrapolated into an argument against acquired taste existing for any other foods or drinks, and now with the claim that because an argument for acquired taste working with one particular item like alcohol was made that must mean an argument for acquired taste working with any foods or drinks in existence was made.

>>11132334
I have no clue why people would look down on flavored alcohols.

>>11134012
la di dah mr logic man
>antecedents
XD

>>11134039
The etymology's Latin if that word's confusing you. "Ante-" means "before" (as in the ante before a hand of poker) and "-cedent" is a future tense third person plural for cedere meaning "to yield" (as in ceding the floor).

>>11134012
it's a shame you dont understand logic since everything you said is you interpreting things completely wrong.
>first with thinking acquiring a taste must mean the person just wants a drug and not a taste
no thats not what i meant in any understanding
also the term acquired taste is widely known and understood as to using liver for my example the easiest form

if you don't like something you are not gonna acquire a taste for it and like it not even for booze
the person said you would if you eat/drink something enough
if somehow i liked the taste of flavored booze how would that make me like non flavored booze? the persons only argument is that i should only be drinking it for the effects it gives not the flavor...
shame you cant comprehend the most basic things

>>11133612
Tastes like liquid rice pudding with cinnamon on top. If you're into that, go right ahead. Girls seem to like it because it's sweet and doesn't really taste like booze since it's such a low ABV.

>>11134118
I really thought you were only *pretending* to be retarded earlier, my bad. Maybe you react to alcohol badly because your mom drank when she was pregnant with you. I normally try to directly address whatever argument someone makes for me, but you're legitimately retarded that I can't even begin to straighten you out. Be honest, were you in special education growing up? Down syndrome maybe?

>>11134267
its a shame you cant comprehend people dont like booze and think they are retards when its actually the other way around

maybe if you had all your braincells you'd understand simple things

>>11134408
Only retards don't like booze.

>>11133643
Not quite, but once you hit $20 for a liter the differences are negligible. Cheaper than that has noticeably worse filtering, drinking an ounce of properly made vodka at room temperature will be a fairly neutral experience. If it's bad, you'll know.

>>11133666
Yes. Lots. What a waste of digits
>Trip
>Dub
>Trip

>>11134408
repetition is a sign of being a retard
thanks for showing your true self

>>11134418
Oh, I forgot to give a frame of reference. Smirnoff at room temp is BAD.

>>11134418
>>fairly
You meant to say relatively.

>>11134445
English is a wonderfully ambiguous language, you still knew what I meant. It's not like chugging a glass of ice water after a summer run, but as far as alcohol goes it's tame if it's been properly filtered and isn't too high-proof.

>>11134445
No he didn't.

>>11132493
You can't market alcohol to minors that's illegal!!!

>>11132334
Fucking Pedo.

>>11133384

>high school content

unintended accuracy from this anon

>>11132334
Because they’re insecure and care about how something is marketed and not how it tastes. Fuck you, ill drink a fucking margarita if I want

>>11133612
It tastes exactly like milk flavored with cinnamon toast crunch. And also alcohol.

>>11133888
>The cute girl at the liquor store says if you mix it 1:1 with fireball

Nice. I had thought up that combination a long time ago, and actually tried it. I liked it, but could really only drink one or two, as it was extremely sweet.

Really good, though.

>>11133860
Buddy, people were just too Soy to give you a TL;DR.

>>11133666

yes and i'tll taste better

>>11132474
Yes

My only problem with them is that they give me a wicked stomach ache, same with Smirinoff. I'd chug those green apple Smirinoffs if I could.

>>11132334
why did i read it as milkies
