That’s a pretty bold statement (though TBH I don’t really disagree). I’m not a big fan of dry beverages generally speaking, but different strokes for different folks; even for the same folks, tastes evolve (the booze I enjoy now was disgusting to me half a lifetime ago); and also context matters a lot. I have enjoyed dry red wines much more with a well paired dish or even mixed with a less dry drink than I have by themselves.
People who are not you or me can apparently even enjoy them without accommodation.
A straw still sounds like an unappealing addition, though.
I don’t understand why (even while I sense it happening to me in real time) but it seems like part of getting older is enjoying drinks that are shitty on purpose.
It’s because dry beverages aren’t very tasty

My comment was tonge-in-cheek, enjoy whatever you like :)

It’s just a powder if it’s dry then, innit
