It was playing Skyrim that I got more curious about mead. Not that easy to get hold on in modern towns, not cheap anyways.
But it is nice. Very nice. Tastier than cider and would substitute beer with it.

ALCOHOL HAHA MAN I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WASTED

where the hell do you even get mead? a brewery i imagine

>cider
>beer
What? If you're going to compare it to something, it's clearly white wine. Did you get one of those weird-ass carbonated, hyper-sweetened meads? It's literally just wine made with honey instead of grapes.

Wherever you buy wine, it's technically a dessert wine

You don't actually purchase mead do you?

>Haha i'm straight edge look at me guys, I don't smoke alcohol or drink weed!
Wow how interesting. That makes you a very special snowflake

it might not but it does in fact make me better than you

user do you at least drink socially?

I am convinced they actually mixed mead with water in the olden days and it just got lost through history. Pure mead is disgustingly sweet.

It probably wasn't as pure and strong as the stuff we have now. Think like half of the alcohol volume than what's average nowadays and I guess alot of added spices to get rid of the bad taste.

no

>user doesnt know the joys of casually drinking with friends

>bad taste
>mead
Even when weak or watered down, it just tastes like honey, Same with strawberry and blackcurrant wine too. Unless something goes terribly wrong during fermentation, of course.

man that label looks like ass

i still hang out with them
i just dont drink like a degenerate

People in (pre-)medieval times added spices and herbs to grape wine because it usually tasted horribly. Spiced mead is pretty common even nowadays so I guess it was the same with mead back then.

you can drink to unwind and get a buzz without getting black out drunk retard

i can unwind without a substance
seems to me like you are part of some sort of cult or something

I remember being 16 too

mulled wine is great

>hard to get a hold of
not here, man. i could just walk straight up to the local booze store and grab a bottle of it. then again, i don't live in a "modern town"

not the (or even a) teetotaler, but getting on someone's case for not drinking is so much more immature than choosing not to drink. stop getting defensive over dumb shit.

>i just dont drink like a degenerate
Lol, this nigga.
Listen son. In around 10 000 years of human history, alcohol has been a vital part of culture, medicine and social events. I'd argue that being ignorant of that fact marks you as not only a straight edge faglord, but also as an uncultural degenerate of the highest order.
Kindly kys.

Only when you don't happen to have the alcoholism gene. With that you always drink uncontrollably, even when you're not an alcoholic yet. You absolutely have to limit the alcohol consumption by how much you have available because you are bound to drink it all away.

no
i just dont drink alcohol

Mead tastes like absolute shit. How can anyone old enough to drink possibly enjoy it?

Shit taste confirmed.

>than choosing not to drink
If only that was what it's about.

Most liquor stores will have a few bottles kicking around, but mead isn't poplar, so you probably won't have much in the way of variety. Honestly though, it's really easy to make at home, and you can tailor the recipe to your taste. All the equipment to make it (gallon glass jug, stopper, airlock valve, plastic tube for bottling, corker, and corks) will only run you about $30. Good honey can be pricey depending on where you are though. Don't use the mass produced crap from the grocery store.

>t. tasted his uncle's cum-mead once
lol, what a fag

They sell it in half the decent stores here.

not OP but there's actually a Meadery near my city so I do buy it occasionally
>Only when you don't happen to have the alcoholism gene. With that you always drink uncontrollably, even when you're not an alcoholic yet.
my extended family is utterly riddled with alcoholism, including my brother, and I've never once gotten blackout drunk nor gone beyond a bottle of wine as my max booze.
I'm all for not having drinking be a requirement for socialization but alcoholism in the family doesn't mean you drink a drop and suddenly turn into a bottomless booze pit.

This.
People should learn to read (and understand fucking context) before commenting

Lets pray they make 26" phones, then.

>it's technically a dessert wine
only because people hear "honey" and think it needs to be sweet. you can have dry mead that's not too different from dry white wine. i prefer that kind.

All alcohol tastes like shit, how can anyone possibly enjoy it? People only drink to get drunk not because they like how beer tastes.

>Children with undeveloped palates who can only enjoy foods and drinks that are 40% sugar by mass.

>trying to justify drug usage
lmao this only proves the damaging effect that alcohol has on the brain

mead tastes like ass

Reminds me of the old "iPhone 20" meme. Might even be true one day, the way this fucking world goes.

Move to a better town.

inability to understand that other people have differing tastes and opinions is unironically a sign of autism, user.

I've tried all kinds of alcohol in my life and they all tasted like shit, I prefer getting high anyway weed is much better.

i would prefer if you didnt
you are annoying when you're high
same as anyone else

...

I understand that people have other tastes. I'm just pointing out that their particular taste is bad and they should feel bad.

I/m not even high right now you fucking retard, you damn drunks think you're better? You're more annoying than the DUDE WEED LMAO faggots.

i dont like drunks or druggies
you are both retards

Yeesh, and drunk people aren't annoying?

Here, I'll spare a {You}, and I'll take a hearty kek for myself. Fair trade, no?

Shouldn't you be at school?

Even Jesus drank alcohol you fucking prude

and look what happend to him

Kino

Then people can also point out how your particular taste is bad and you should feel bad.

And i'm sure a man like you has plenty of friends.

at least 7 close friends i talk to almost every day

he came back to life

he got temp banned for 3 days you melodramatic cunt

>"yeah, i'm straight edge"
>drinks ten cups of coffee a day
>prescribed adderall since 10
