Preach on sister! I am not a big drinker. I don't like the taste of most alcohol, and it doesn't do much for me (I get a bigger rush from chocolate). My typical drink is a (good) beer. I'm a born Milwaukee girl, what can I say?
However, I've taken bartending classes. I've tasted and sampled numerous drinks. Some where horrifying (keep the whiskey and the gin far away from me!) and some where tasty. There are so many cool drinks out there that there is no reason to order something stupid and/or order the same tired thing over and over.
