"I drink alcohol for the taste"

No but I've also never said retarded shit like "I drink it for the taste".

you can't make a good tasting beer without alcohol

Imagine being this poor.

>spirits
>expensive

Not really, unless you're comparing mid- and high-end stuff to three buck chuck. Even if you really like drinking Scotch straight, the volume you're consuming is much less than you would of beer.

The Gran Marnier 100 that user posted costs nearly $200 a bottle.

Can you not spare $200 to treat yourself? It's not like he's hocking a bottle down every night.

The point was that we are talking about "high end stuff" in this specific context, so yeah, it is expensive.

>paying $200 for grandma
No wonder he said he drinks for the taste.
He's retarded

Not much more than a high-end bottle of wine (without going into $1500 meme territory)

I guess your kid can try to pawn off those empty grand marnier bottles to try to pay for college then

Nigga that's 3/5 the price of my latest shotgun, and that'll bring me pleasure for years as opposed to fleeting moments.

I can get a ball of white for that, and have more fun than overpriced liquor.

I bet you choose to take vacations in the next city over because plane tickets are too expensive

I had to google it as we don't get it over here. Looks like shitty tasting non-alc beer. Or does it actually taste nice?

Expensive to get a bottle of something I might not like and I'd rather drink wine with a meal I think. Wouldn't get it in a bar because the smell of straight whiskey breath is pretty abhorrent to most people. I'll wean myself onto it at some point though I'm sure.

The difference between cheap liquor and high end liquor is much more broad than cheap/high end wine though.

I visit family in Macaubecause I'm a realist. You don't get rich by spending money senpai.

Also, tsingtao beer straight from the liter bottle is fucking godly.

I remember I asked my dad why he liked the taste of beer when I was a kid and his answer was "you'll understand someday user"

He went on to physically and mentally abuse me to the point that I developed severe alcoholism so I guess he was right. See you in hell one day pops

You don't get rich by saving either.

>tsingtao by the liter
I want one

Compounding interest, friend.

Lol. You don't make shit via interest. You seen the rates on savings accounts or CDs these days? It's shit.

>tsingtao beer straight from the liter bottle is fucking godly
But would you drink it if it didn't have alcohol in it?

he probably means a 401k or roth IRA

Locally its ~5% for a 10k minimum 5 years. So yeah its shit. Basically only good for bonds hitting full maturity.

>His palate is so immature he cant taste nuances in spiced rums, porters, bourbons or whiskeys

You're certainly not going to get "rich" off of those either, unless you're extraordinarily lucky.

Look for something a couple of orders of magnitude higher.

>>His palate is so immature he cant taste nuances in spiced rums, porters, bourbons or whiskeys
You did not answer the question.
Also,
>spiced rum
Ask me how I know you're 12 years old

>Youre 12
Is it because you project so hard you couldnt imagine what its like to have a functioning tongue? Dont worry sport, itll taste better when you get a bit older.

You still didn't answer the question

>If it didnt have alcohol
Yeah
>If it were $50 a bottle
No
>Something something odoules
Dont know what it is, I like black IPA and porters. Did that sooth your autism?

Yes

>man do i enjoy a good scotch *drowns it all out wih ice and water*
Pretentious hicks

get a room you old fogies

guy you're actually quoting here

nigga just put like 25% of your paycheck in Vanguard S&P 500 or midcap or some shit, it's not fucking hard.

>nigga just put like 25% of your paycheck in Vanguard S&P 500 or midcap or some shit, it's not fucking hard.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Literally exactly--my mutual funds are all through Vanguard.

I think it will give me a nice retirement, sure. But is it going to make me "rich"? Fuck no. Not even close.

taste is the only reason i drink strongbow cider. I've tried to enjoy beers and other shit but they just taste like piss.

I've had that non alcoholic beer. On deployment our tiny chow hall had a cooler with sodas and shit and they stocked those.

Nobody drank them because it just taste like a beer but no alcohol effect. So it just reminds you that you can't have real beer. I drank one as a joke and to settle my curiosity, not worth it. I certainly wouldn't pay for it.

ehh... high middle class is rich enough for my needs.

Y'know, if you shotgunned like 15 of those, you could probably catch a buzz...

>or just make a FOB still

Oh we were making hooch alright. Yeah I've heard that but even I am not going to try to shotgun 15. I'd rather robotrip off some tussin.

heh, didn't know they stocked that.

By the way, peyote when you're on call is not the smartest decision.

>caffeine addicts
lmao

If it didn't contain alcohol it wouldn't be so expensive. Hell most nice liquors would be 3 - 4 Bucks probably.

I enjoy the effects of alcohol -> brain tells me alcohol tastes good because of the association

It's not difficult brainlets

That makes no sense at all. The mere presence of alcohol does not make things expensive. You could compare a bottom-shelf bottle of whiskey with a premium bottle and the prices will be radically different despite them having the same ABV%.

Liquor tax is a tiny % of the cost of a bottle of premium booze.

>lmao
Fuck off.
