long, muddled post with no real point:
I've always wondered whether our taste in alcohol changes with age due to something physiological. There are, of course, lifestyle-based reasons as well. I have personally taken to drinking straight, hard liquor over ice, if given the preference--something I wouldn't have enjoyed even five years ago. And it would have made much more sense for me to drink that way while playing long, long sets behind a drumset.
Edit: Oh, and the other obvious thing. I can afford more expensive alcohols now, which actually taste good straight. I'm not drinking the same stuff anymore; and when I do, it still requires being mixed with something. Crown Royal Cask #16 versus the regular Crown (needs Coke!) for instance.
