Wow! I would be like the walking embodiment of your pet peeves! The one time in my life I had a sip of whiskey (in an attempt to clear up a cold), I made this exact same face and danced around the room like I’d stubbed my toe.

Same here. I always make the goofy faces when drinking hard liquor.

On the other hand, I hate drinking fruity girly drinks, so I've forced myself to develop a taste for beer. That's pretty much what I drink nowadays when going for something alcoholic. Good ol' Shiner.
