My pride in my country is no longer there

Booze Map: America loves vodka.

We make some of the best whiskey in the world and we drink vodka? Sick. Just sick.

Very interesting. Vodka and whiskey are vey popular, but they couldn't be more different.

Yup, vodka is terrible and whiskey is amazing in all its varied forms. Americans apparently have no taste - as confirmed by how massive Bud, Miller and Coors are.

 

[Kramodlog]

Or how massive USians are.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

That's more a confirmation of laziness, I think.

 

[Kramodlog]

If they would have better taste they would eat less Denny's and other crap.

Vodka!? We're overrun with commies!!!

Isn't vodka used in a lot of mixes and flavored shots?

Then I can understand the massive consumption.

I didn't realize Americans made whiskey. I get all my stuff from Scotland and Japan. Maybe I'll give it a try next time I'm in the whiskey bar.

My personal drinking experience tells me that vodka in America is mainly in mixed drinks- like the Icepick, Martini, and my own milkshakes- where its lack of flavor is key, while whiskey is usually consumed expressly FOR the flavor it brins to the party, if not actually straight.

I mean, I've had both straight and on the rocks, and find no point in doing so further with vodka, since I no longer drink just to get drunk. Whiskey, OTOH...

There also is a pretty large trend of flavored vodkas, which my wife and her friends seem to love.
