I don't know why I was drawn to vodka in particular? Maybe it was because it was milder tasting compared to rum, whiskey, bourbon etc....
I remember trying Jack Daniel's Honey Whiskey and thinking that it was some of the worst tasting shit ever! The best way to describe it would be: wet, moldy, cardboard.
One of the old guys in AA made me die laughing the other day. He said: "Most people are full of shit when it comes to alcohol. Most drinks taste like shit, and the only reason people put up with the taste, is because there is alcohol in it. "Oh I am a wine Connoisseur!" Bullshit! he said. They are just alcoholics. Why don't they just stuff a bunch of grapes in thier mouths then?"
