I'm gonna sound like a weeb again, but I had sake for the first time and I think it's the only good alcohol. Sweet enough to not be throat burning, but not too sweet to glue down your throat.
It's like a mellow wine with a hint of nuts.
@matrix
Nah, Sake is literally the biggest disappointment japan has to offer.
@LukeAlmighty I'm not a drinker, so our scales might be very different.
@matrix Yeah, I sadlyfound a favorite pub in Prague, and was going there once a month last year.
ひげ
@LukeAlmighty @matrix I've heard that Japanese beer is really good but I've never tried it and I'm not really a beer guy to begin with. But I've only tasted American beer which is apparently really shitty.
@matrix try soju
@tomie Isn't that just hard liquor?
@matrix not much harder than sake, so if you liked it, you might like soju as well
@tomie thanks, I will keep it in mind
@matrix Congratulations! It is one of my favorites too. Beer is bitter, wine is too sour or sharp, liquors are too strong. Ever hear the saying that sake tastes sweet when you're happy, but bitter when you're sad?
@Jazzy_Butts I might have, but forgot.
Same, beer reminds me of antibiotics
@matrix the only sake I've had was this weird cucumber one. It wasn't good. What did you get?
@beardalaxy Ozeki sake. I got the cheapest one they had, cause I was buying it for cooking.
>Some commercial kombucha producers sell what they call "hard kombucha" with an alcohol content of over 5 percent.
i was just joking, desu...
@matrix alcohol, sweet, in the same sentence 
@fyw321 why? Alcohol is just fermented sugar afaik so depending on how much of it happens you get different amount of it in the drink
@matrix you do have a point, i was trying to do some trash talk 
however sweet alcohol tends to make you drink more without knowing, and you may wake up at break of dawn on your chair with a sore neck.
@fyw321 oh, that point went over my head
@Jens_Rasmussen I'm not a drinker so my view is definitely limited, but from what I've tried, some ciders are ok, but a pure apple cider tends to be very sour, sweet rums are both way too sweet and throat burning, flavored beer that's popular now is worse than regular beer, mulled wine is pretty good. I haven't tried mead yet though.
>Just drink cocktails
Or go full weeb and drink Strong Zero.
@Jens_Rasmussen I wanted try it but they don't sell it anywhere 
>5,5 EUR for 0,35L can of Strong Zero
>"Not in stock"
Oof. I thought it would be like Ramune, rare but findable.
@Jens_Rasmussen Ramune is pretty easy, I just got a grape one.
I had this one btw
