    I got completely annihilated on Korean rice wine once. Tested like slightly sweet water. Ice cold, very refreshing. By glass number four, I was at stage 2 snot bubble. Something like 24% ABV and I was drinking water glasses of it

    Now I kinda want to try soju. I have yet to meet a drink with any appreciable amount of alcohol in it that doesn’t taste like paint thinner smells to me. The only way I’ve ever been able to “not taste the alcohol” is if there’s barely any in the drink.

      If that’s your metric just drink “flavored fortified wine” aka bum my wine like MD 20/20. It’s really high alcohol content and super sweet to mask the poor quality.

        I’ve tried wines like that before. I apparently have that gene where you super taste bitter and it just tasted like flat LaCroix mixed with paint thinner.

      Soju tastes kinda like vodka. I think sake is a good balance of “high enough alcohol” and “doesn’t taste like paint thinner.” Not a connoisseur by any means but a bottle of Kurosawa is cheap and tastes pleasant and fruity, and has around 14% ABV.

        I probably won’t be able to tolerate it then sadly. I’m super sensitive to bitter flavors that’s seemingly why alcohol is always so unpleasant to me. I’ve tried so many drinks that even friends who barely drink at all say they can hardly taste the alcohol that all tasted just vile to me. Thanks though!
