There’s nothing wrong with being a tea totaller! Certainly won’t get you in trouble!
Trust me, I'd have loved to have been able to hang out with my friends and have a beer - I wanted to, which is why I've tried sooooo many different kinds in an effort to find one I can tolerate - but it just doesn't exist. I just cannot tolerate that bitter taste that is a part of all beers.
I'm convinced that I'm a super-taster. Back in school, we used those pieces of paper that if you put it in your mouth and experience the bitter taste, you're like... (it was PTC, my mistake). That paper almost made me gag it tasted that bitter. Looking at what supertasters typically like and dislike...
"Although individual food preference for supertasters cannot be typified, documented examples for either lessened preference or consumption include:
Other foods may also show altered patterns of preference and consumption, but only indirect evidence exists:
I have a strong distastes for beers, tequila, green veggies, coffee (with the amount of sugar/creamer/etc I need to put in it, I don't even think it qualifies as coffee anymore), grapefruit is horriffic, I've tried dozens of green teas to find one I can take, mustard is the most foul substance to ever grace this planet, none of those red veggies either...
But I loooooooove me salty foods! Soy sauce on my popcorn, mushrooms, green olives are incredible, dill pickles (and especially Clausen pickles - ooooooooooo...), etc.
