I keep seeing people make fun of it online but that sounds like something I’d enjoy. My drink of choice for a few years now has been the depressing combination of whatever carbonated water is available with whatever better-than-rotgut-but-only-just vodka is available.
Rotgut-tier is also fine in a pinch. But the bad stuff here will make you blind.
(I’m also a fan of “give me your sweetest, fruitiest, girliest drink”, which was great fun back in uni when all the dudes around me were ordering bitter beverages they clearly didn’t enjoy. By trying to project masculinity to the girls around us, they were actually betraying an underlying insecurity about it - and by ordering my girly drink I was gently lampshading that idea. Fun times.)
They’re delightful. I personally prefer whiskey and when I want carbonated alcohol I tend towards a beer or a bourbon spritzer (or it’s wine sibling), but they’re easy and refreshing.
And yeah, as a chick who likes neat bourbon, it’s amusing seeing men who are clearly uncomfortable with the fact that they don’t like stuff like it. Like dude, just order what you like
If you’re drinking for a buzz, then that’s the best way. All the calories you’re getting are only from alcohol. If you drink other cocktails or beer/wine, you’re drinking a lot of sugar, which adds up over time.

I really enjoy a white claw or the various similar brands. I don’t know what it is but if I drink a lot of those I have a “lighter” feeling of drunk. It feels nice, and I never get hungover from these drinks. I’m sure it’s possible of course
Sounds good – my go-to drink at my local is a vodka and soda with a lime wedge. (Occasionally will get a vodka and tonic with a twist if I’m feeling daring.)
Soda water with vodka and a homeopathic amount of fruity flavoring

No hate, its just a drink for me. Other people enjoying it doesnt hurt me
