I love to hate listening to people who think they know all about alcohol just because they’ve tried some expensive stuff (they’re usually bashing “cheap” stuff). I also love their faces when they find out they are talking to someone who studies these things and that it’s obvious that they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.
But why do people do this? I experience it mostly with beer and liquor, but it happens with just about any subject. Why pretend like you know about something you don’t know about? It only makes you look silly.
A lot of people always settle for cheap stuff. I only drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, of course. Most people don’t actually have refined taste.
