This is why I've never been drunk - I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Not even this champagne, which didn't taste that bad at first sip. Like fizzy apple cider. But more sour. Yep, way more sour.
I have tried Vodka before, but wasn't remembering how it tastes. I was thinking that Vodka, being a relative pure alcohol, would have even more of that alcohol "taste" that I dislike.
But as I happen to have a partial bottle of "Absolut" Vodka in the cupboard (someone brought it over several xmases ago), I just now tasted it again. You really are right that it is mostly flavorless - it has only a slight flavor that is hard to describe. But it burns! my mouth. Mixing that with other drinks would surely lessen the burn. Doing that might be a good method to use, if I wanted to attempt to get myself drunk, to see what the experience is like. (I tried that in the past with liqueurs, but gave up.)
Oh. I never drink vodka straight up (I don't know why, either; I just never did) so if it burns without mixing it into something else then you have my apologies (and I just learned something new so thanks for volunteering). :(
Personally, wine is a nicer kind of drunk, at least for me. The drunkest I ever got - without getting sick before I could actually enjoy it - was doing Jaegarmeister and drinking mudslides (and this was probably 10 years ago as well, before I quit all hard liquor and actually quit drinking for a while because my mom quit). Those two drinks weren't so bad. But wine still feels like a nicer, tipsier, more pleasant drunk to me, so you might want to experiment if you do decide to get drunk, to see which type of buzz works best for you.
