      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.
