I mean, uh, I go to church every Sunday, go 5 mph under the speed limit, study 24/7, always follow the law, and never do any bodily harm to myself
I used to like cider, and I still like some, but ever since I had some farm-made stuff I've stayed clear of it. I was being sick for 2 straight hours after drinking the stuff. I still like strongbow, though

BG Lavine is gonna cream himself. Anyone in California who can get their hands on Great White beer, I would highly recommend it. Its a great lager, lots of flavor and smooth and light to drink. A bit expensive but I love it. Here's the commercial description: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>An American version of the Belgian style. This unfiltered beer has a striking translucent, golden color with white clouds. Seemingly a contradiction in terms, it has a full body mouth-feel but is surprisingly light to drink. Topped with a hint of citrus, provided by Coriander and a secret blend of Humbolt herbs, this beer is slightly sweet and a delight to drink in any season.</div> That part always cracks me up lol. I don't think they actually mean weed but its funny. Its definitely citrus-y and a joy to drink for lager fans. I'm not too big on dark beers.

Mixed vodka drinks taste the same no matter what brand you use, that's what I keep hearing. Now if you're trying it straight up, and I don't know many people like that, then you will notice a difference. Not necessarily a "higher quality" one though.
