I was visiting my married sister and watching her prepare her ritual morning glass of Scotch & water. I asked if I could taste it. It was horrible, a fact that I rapidly expressed to my sister. She acknowledged the truth of it.
I asked, "Why do you drink this shit?"
She responded, "To get drunk."
Dave, there's nothing quite so invigorating as that first shot of single malt in the morning to get the ol' juices flowing...
Yummy, with cold pizza, and a spliff. breakfast of Champions mate.

The concept of an "acquired taste" is one that sometimes denotes nothing of value. Forcing oneself to drink this vile brew so that one day you might gain a tolerance for it, and consider yourself better for it, strikes me as something quite close to stupidity.
But then again, not having acquired a taste for it, I don't suppose I can say for certain.
Some people don't like olives when they first try them.
I think it is only fair to give something as much latitude as olives before they are dismissed.

Mind you, it's still the most pathetic form of pseudo-sophistication to drink scotch whisky. I like it personally, but sophisticated it is not.

Laughable.
