I've never heard of clafoutis, but it sounds good. And for the record, as a non-alcoholic who enjoys the occasional alky beverage, a small bit of amaretto in hot chocolate is a nice mix   |

If you don’t have freedom as a principle, you can never see a reason not to make an exception. There are constantly going to be times when for one reason or another there’s some practical convenience in making an exception.

Let's throw in some coffee, make it an amaretto mocha, just to make it even worse for you. (I'd totally drink that, but probably not in the morning. Maybe at a once-in-a-blue-moon social event where I didn't have to drive home.) |

Because combining a depressant with a stimulant is such a great idea! I think if I drank something like that my body would assume I was trying to commit suicide and helpfully pitch in by dying. |

I don't like beer but I think I'd drink 1,000 beers before I drank any form of coffee

Drinking coffee is as enjoyable as reading a Calvin vs Arminian debate. *gag* *death*

Coffee and beer can both be amazingly delicious or horribly vile, depending on what type you're drinking.

I wonder if coffee in beer or beer in coffee could ever be good.  |

I've had espresso-flavored stout that wasn't bad. Don't think I'd just mix a cup of joe and a glass of wheat beer or anything, though.  |

Well actually I'm still underage... I feel like such a youngun'...  But yeah, not a fan of alchohol. Beer generally tastes like piss, and wine tastes like hell-if-I-know-what, but it's nasty. Hate coffee too. Also not a fan of smoking... I'll have a nice cigar happily enough if I'm socializing, but I'd never go out of my way to get one. I'm such a good boy  |

Cosmopolitans.
No, I have no idea. I've tasted a bit of wine, champagne and margaritas before, and thought it was disgusting. The wine and champagne were far too bitter, and I tasted way too much alcohol in the margarita. If I'm going to drink something, it's going to need to be really sweet, and not taste like alcohol at all.

The danger with going for drinks like you describe is that it's ridiculously easy to get smashed because you don't feel like you're drinking alcohol. I am not actually speaking from personal experience, thankfully  |

Then why would you drink it? I don't really get alcoholic beverages that don't taste like alcohol. Unless your only aim is to get intoxicated (in which case it would be faster to plug your nose and chug vodka), I fail to see the point in finding an alcoholic beverage that is mixed in such a way as to mask all tastes of alcohol. (...says the pregnant woman who is generally not supposed to be imbibing alcohol and is not mollified by "virgin" substitutions because, duh, they don't taste like alcohol. Oh gin & tonic, my summer wasn't the same without you.) |

Oh no, I agree with you. This is why I can count on one hand the number of times I've drunk alcohol. If I am ever going to socially drink again, though, I am headed for the sweet stuff. |

I've only consumed alcohol once, and that was at work. We were celebrating a release of some of our software, and I thought the unidentified liquid was just supposed to look like champagne. Nope, turns out it actually was. I thought it was pretty gross, but I'm freely willing to admit that it's probably just an acquired taste that I haven't acquired.

Gotcha. I guess I have spent too much time around college girls who insist they like alcohol but will only drink amaretto sours. Silliness. |
