ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
I used to think that way too. Only bought the cheap stuff until one day
someone gave me a bottle of Glenlivet scotch. I rarely buy it because I
don't want to mortgage the house, but now I *do* know the difference.

Have to agree, bought some really high dollar Scotch for New Years Eve in
1954 while in Japan. Flavor wasn't the same but it was as smooth as
chocolate milk. I was asleep before midnight. Had to quit that sort of
thing though, my Dad was alcoholic and I figured I'd probably inherited
the gene.

That's just it for me. I don't want to run the risk, and after seeing
what it did to friends and relatives as well, it made up my mind in high
school. Tried it. It tasted AWFUL no matter what, so I prefer a Coke. Oh,
if someone insists I take a sip with him, I will. But since I simply do
not like the taste of alcoholic drinks, I simply drink enough to satisfy
the buyer and let it go. I just don't like it the same way some people
don't like broccoli or cauliflower and I never will.


Well good for you if you don't like Little John Barleycorn. But I find it
ironic that you consider that cola beverages taste good. I always
considered them as probably what carbonated battery acid tastes like.

And the caffeine in them is also a drug, of which a lot of people take too
much of.

What? You mean I have to give up coffee, too? LOL!
