I would say about when i was 20 years old that i had my first beer and i did not like it not one bit, the bitter taste was not pleasant at all but i have grown to like it :D.
I have tried it a couple of times but unfortunately it didn't intrigue me which doesn't mean it's bad or of low quality, just not what i was looking for.
Funkwerks Saison is the perfect choice since the medium body and mild fruit notes can complement the rich flavors of dinner dishes such as turkey and any veggies.
We have all different tastes, but i definitely agree with you on the fact that it's rather quite people and it's for several reasons, the alcohol content is not that high and it's quite refreshing after a long day.
Unless your condition becomes more severe then you shouldn't worry about it and as the others have said, just make sure you eat a bit before drinking as will help prevent the issue from happening.
Even though i haven't drunk it much, but i can recommend a few things. First, make sure the vodka is chilled as it can help smother the burn, Second, try adding lemon or salt it enhances the flavor and the experience.
It's easier said then done, since sometimes some people are so inconsiderate to their surroundings that confronting them about smoking can escalate quite badly.
Even though i don't have much knowledge on this subject, i gathered a bit of information after doing some research and i was shocked how much of an impact passive smoking has on your health.
I really have yet to get my head around it, but i'm definitely considering drinking a bit more than i usually do since life has been a bit stressful over the past few days.
