What are the lightest types of liquor & what are the strongest types?
& why do some people mix liquor with fruit juices &/or sodas? What are some good-tasting liquor/soda/fruit juice combinations? I'm 24 & only tried alcohol like once or twice when I was 3 because my deceased foster father fed it to me, & it was nasty.
***I have no intentions on trying any alcohol since I take medicine, but I'm just curious. That's why I'm asking.
Answers:
Legal Everclear is about 150 proof (75% alcohol).
Hard liquor like rum & vodka are usually 40% alcohol.
Most beers are under 10% alcohol. The most common brands are about 4 or 5%.
Table wine is generally 11% to 14%.
The reason people mix hard liquors with juice and soda is because: a) It tastes nasty on its own because of all the alcohol, and b) The serving size is much smaller (a shot is 1.5 oz) so if you want a full glass you can mix in all sorts of stuff.
I personally like daiquiris, which are made with rum, sugar and lime juice. I find citrus-y juice goes well with rum and whisky, which are my favourite liquours.
If you're drinking alcohol for the first time in most of your life, remember to make sure you know the proper serving sizes and set limits for yourself. Otherwise it's not at all fun.
