I just love the taste of ethanol, I once tried ethanol for disinfection and it was so good. And I always drink alcohol purely for taste, I drink it very rarely and when I do it is for taste. But like it is so tasty. And I love bitter and all sorts of strong tastes. Now I will not drink alcohol too much because I do not love getting drunk, and especially not disinfection alcohol because of toxicity it was just taste test, but why is it so tasty??
Depends on where you’re from and what the regulations are, might have been just non-denatured high% vodka essentially. As so much was needed regulations weren’t the strictest everywhere.
Anyway, I’m not gonna believe you before I see you take a mouthful of 80% alc and swirl it around your mouth and smack smack smack mmm. Without making any sort of sour face.
Because if you do, then that’s actually medically concerning, because that’s a poison and we have systems in our bodies to make us not ingest poisons easily. As in, that’s why we can taste bitter. Alcohol isn’t bitter per se but it’s a volatile solvent, and at those percentages it’s just not in anything way a taste. It’s a sensation.
I may be wrong, but I don’t believe you. You also say you don’t "really drink, so I’m thinking a younger person who’s had a small hit and enjoyed the aftereffects and can’t now discern them.
True, I do wish there are some non alcoholic alternative to ethanol taste
