That sounds like you are making yourself indispensable.

Can anyone explain what’s going on in the picture for me?

So, the first thing you need to know about alcohol is it's an intoxicating drug. It is a depressant, its short-term effects include reduced inhibitions which in the moment can feel like increased confidence, and overall reduction in physical motor skills, plus a mild euphoria. Also makes your face feel slightly numb. That's most of alcohol's selling point.

Alcohol on its own is rather unpleasant to have in your face. A lot of cocktail culture sprung up around hiding alcohol with other flavorings so they're in any way pleasant to swallow.

You might try something like whiskey and coke, I'd specifically go with American or Canadian whiskies here; scotch doesn't really bring the right flavors for this. There's a reason Jack Daniels or Crown Royal are stereotypes. Vodka can also be a way in; it doesn't bring a lot of flavor of its own so adding it to fruit juices can get you used to booze within familiar flavor profiles. Don't worry about sticking to posted recipes, drop a tablespoon of vodka into a tall glass of orange juice and see what it does, then start upping the ratio.

Get used to that, you may then start exploring cocktails, getting into wine or beer, or neat spirits.

...let me introduce you to single cask-strength malts: one drop, drawn delicately through your lips, let diffuse across your palate by capillary action, that's how i learned to appreciate alcohol for the first time after four decades of not getting it...

For a hot minute there near the end of the Obama administration, craft beer was a thing in this country and we had some excellent beers. Then Trump got elected and I haven't seen a craft beer that wasn't an IPA or a token jet black "oatmeal stout" since.

One of the weirdest takes I’ve ever seen. Bravo and well done for somehow working politics into this!

...that's pretty much my improvisational style: sometimes things turn out amazing but of course the problem is that i'll never make it the same way again; couldn't if i tried...

It's a thing that happened and I'm not sure by what mechanism. 2018, lots of microbreweries and brewpubs most offering a wide variety, by 2021 you've got seven IPAs and one token stout on the menu.

Check this it's funnier

Oh I don’t disagree with you. I’ve looked for decent non-IPA microbrews and have been puzzled at the lack of selection! I just wasn’t aware of the timing.

I just follow my family’s habit , add reasonable amount

Blindly following recipes I will never get. How can you be comfortable with depending on a stranger's whims for what you eat ?

We've moved on to sours or IPA/sour combos. I drink them because they are delicious to my palate. Always drank my coffee black even as a kid. I like bitter.

Honestly I fucking hate the term hipster. I'm not hip, I'm a laborer in my 40s. It's just another way for people to divide each other.

Might even be famous for it.

I'm the rabbit. I also do a lot of tasting.

You may scream now.

My wife says that everything I cook smells the same. Yeah baby I know what I like.

You better get the hell out of my house immediately and never come back.

And the taste changes with salt, with heat, with boiling, with cold extraction (like an overnight marinade). You really just have to experiment.

Good for you I guess, but why'd the variety have to disappear? I want my ESBs and barleywines back. I haven't seen a locally made wheat beer since before the pandemic.
