[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 637875, member: 1963"] I'm not a "girly" drinker other than liking a GOOD margarita every few years. Last time I ordered a Margarita, I got lemon-lime flavoured cheap tequila. Ugh! I like single-malt Scotch (don't buy it because I can't afford my tastes), good beer, and good hard cider. I'm a real lightweight. One drink and done, and I don't drink often. I was just surprised that I couldn't get rid of the Twisted Tea as it's a real alcohol culture up here. They drink like fish. (and drive, which is another rant) There's a big push towards what the British call "alco-pop" up here. Fruit flavoured, high alcohol beverages that are "drink to get drunk". It's no different than when I was working in a liquor store years ago and people would come in and buy a pt of cheap Vodka and a liter of soda to mix with it. The idea is to kill the taste of the alcohol. It has gotten really bad up here in the past three years. More alcohol related incidents/accidents, lots of meth and heroin, and the jail has a revolving door. Because of that, I figured someone would want the tea. I don't like to waste stuff, but I'm not drinking something that tastes vile for the sake of the alcohol. [/QUOTE]
