Beer tastes like that to me.
Yeah, I call bs on falling in love with beer on the first sip. My beer drinking friends describe it as “an acquired taste” or in other words ’tastes terrible’.
For sure, author is 100% a beer-person who forgot the first time they tried it
Yeah, it’s just bread water and doesn’t taste good at all.
Not to say bread water can’t taste good and also be almost non-alcoholic.
Having tried it I can safely say that kvass is also an acquired taste. Less so than beer, though.
I think it’s easier to find a good tasting kvass than beer, but that’s just anecdotal experience
I feel that way about most beers. I have definitely had quality beers that would make me drink again even if they were nonalcoholic though
I mean… Beer does kinda taste like someone farted into a can of pee to me 🤷♂️
Dad Facts Fun Fact:
We have Mesopotamian clay tablets from 2000 BCE inscribed with riddles that are groan-worthy in a way that transcends millennia. Riddles require the speaker to mislead the listener on purpose, briefly, for amusement. It’s hard not to imagine a father deploying one on a child and enjoying the momentary confusion. The tablet doesn’t say “Dad said this,” but the social context fits too neatly to ignore.
Civilizations rise and fall. Empires crumble. But somewhere, 5,000 years ago, a child asked a question, and a dad answered with nonsense because it was funny. The torch has been faithfully carried ever since.
It would not surprise me if orcas and chimpanzees had their own form of dad jokes.
Kinda weird punchline to promote drinking alcohol. Are we in the 90s again?
I don’t see the final punchline as being about alcohol. You could replace it with any other drink and the joke would still work.
Which other non-alcoholic drink would you not want your kid to drink, ever? Aside from coffee/tea.
My dad’s reasoning for me and my sibling to not drink tea and coffee was that it would make us black (yes that is racist, but we are from other side of globe where the equation is a bit different). This was the case when my father and mother both drank like million cups a day.
I personally just do not like drinks (any practically, just water for me), so i am not mad at him, but dads can give whatever stupid reason they can come up within a split of second, and stick to it for rest of their live, just cause it is funny
You’re implying dads need a reason to bullshit their kids besides ‘it’s funny’
Fair.
Ah, so you’re more of a milkdrinker.
I can’t drink alcohol anymore because of medication. I don’t really miss it, but I wouldn’t say there were no beers I didn’t enjoy drinking.
