/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Lads, I'm at a crossroads.
I can't drink beer any more. Lager or ale, it doesn't matter, all beer gives me a bad stomach ache and bad diahrrea the next day. It's not a grains thing either, I can still eat all types of bread, whole barley grains in soups as well, no stomach problems after that. But beer = shitting myself. I was fine with beer in my 20s, but now I just can't stomach it any more for some reason.

So basically I have to move on. This is the crossroads. What alcohol do I move on to? Vodka reminds me too much of late teens and early 20s, that was just for getting absolutely wasted drunk. Love that time, love the memories, but it's not me any more. I never liked any of the other spirts desu. Still hate whisky, makes me gag like nothing else on this earth.

So I've basically narrowed it down to cider or wine. What should I switch to, beerbros? Cider is nice, luv apples, simple as. In terms of format it's a good like-for-like swap. But it doesn't go with all food, and it might get a bit boring? There's only so much variation surely, much less than beer I imagine. Or I could go down the wine route. That seems to be the 'logical' progression, seems to be what pople move to as they get older and mature anyway. Tied to food very strongly, there's a reason it's called wining and dining. I've never really seen the appeal of it. It's ok, I don't dislike it like I disliked spirits. But...it's never blown my mind, I've never understood why people go gaga over it. I don't want to become some pretentious faggot winefag. Wat do?
