It's sort of refreshing in a "this tastes not-so-great and almost burns" sort of way. The young rebels in high school used to drink that stuff to get drunk. Doesn't that just make your tummy turn to imagine? No thanks!
The first thing I ever drank was everclear in Dr. Pepper. Yuck. I had not had alcohol before that so I didn't have anything to compare it to and my bf at the time (we were 18) acted like that was a normal drink that anyone would order in a bar.
