Well do you?

Do people actually like the taste of ethyl alcohol or do most people use it only as a means to get lightened up or drunk?

alcohol has many forms and many tastes.

You may need to modify your poll to compensate for the different flavors.

Edit: I guess I have tasted ethyl alcohol since it's in mouthwash. If that's what you're talking about then hell no, I don't like the taste of it.

I'm just talking about straight ethyl alcohol.

That's worse than horseradish.

You may as well be sucking down pure ether (what we used to start diesel engines during cold months).

So will you drink it when it's mixed with something else?

You can still taste it in anything you drink.

So basically moonshine? The closest I've had to it is Everclear, which is 95% alcohol if I remember correctly. I had a party many years back and bought the stuff to make jungle juice. Me and my buddies all took a capfull shot of the stuff, and it was god awful. Some of it dripped down my chin and I could feel the burning, as well as it going down. It's nasty stuff, but it tasted great when mixed with a ton of fruit punch, got you quite ripped as well.

Since I've never drank pure alcohol I'm not a logical source for such an experience.

Why don't YOU tell us about drinkin pure alcohol.

I don't think the part that tasted great was the alcohol. :confused:

The actual taste of ethanol is absolutely wretched; alcoholic drinks are good.

I like ethanol that is produces by yeasts that feed on barley. Throw in some hops for flavoring.

Bullshit. Pure Ethanol has absolutely no taste. Alcoholic drinks taste of everything else in them *but* alcohol.

it's ethanol, damnit. that is the *proper* scientific name for it, not to mention it's much easier to figure out what people talk about, instead of using the "common" names for organic compounds.

he's speaking about ethyle alcohol, of which there is only one type, and one taste. in the various types of liquors produced for consumption, ethyl alcohol is distilled using different methods from different sources. While this produces distinct characteristics, further purification of the ethanol will still leave only one type of chemical structure
