So what makes us like one alcohol and not another? I imagine it is just personal preference. Why does someone prefer savory and other person prefer sweet. I remember when I was kid and Dad would let me have a sip of his beer. It tasted so awful to me, and funnily enough I have never been able to drink beer since. Even wine took a long time to like.

I used to drink cider when beer, wine, cider and spirits were really the only choice. Now there are so many sweet drinks available that there are plenty to choose from. I have always had a sweet tooth so suppose it is no surprise that I would prefer sweet drinks. But I wonder if that is the case with everyone. If you prefer chocolate do you prefer sweet drinks and if you prefer salty chips do you prefer beer and other bitter drinks?

When it comes to responsible drinking most people find that it is difficult to drink loads of sweet alcohol. So in a way people are more likely to do their own responsible service of alcohol if serving themselves sweet drinks.
