How can people stand to drink sake? I just had some at a korean bbq joint and it tasted like what rotten rice smells like.
there's lots of different types of sake
think of the first time you tried, say, a dry white wine, did you warm up to it immediately? probably not, but it didn't put you off all sorts of grape wines
i'm not highly accustomed to it myself but i think if you are your palate probably grows to appreciate it better

Why is it indicative of extreme depression? I'm honestly interested in hearing why.

you know alcohol is enjoyed by the majority of the adult populace right
it's a social lubricant and means of escapism, like video games or sports but with more brain cell death

Alcohol is for everyone. Typically the most cultured and educated are the most likely to drink, but every socioeconomic class does it, its pretty much integral to humanity. It literally is what lead to civilization forming according to our best understanding of the origins of agriculture

An asian coworker had some unfiltered sake at his houswarming party. I drank it and politely said thanks, but god that was terrible. Dead yeast does not taste good.

It's probably that alcoholic in denial who always starts raving about sharia and feminists any time someone says they don't enjoy getting blackout drunk all the time and drinks below 10% are a Jewish conspiracy.
I like alcohol and drink on a near daily basis but I'm ok with people who don't

Same way some people can drink straight moonshine, tastes vary from person to person.

Intelligence is closely correlated with depression. The drinking is a coping mechanism for being surrounded by stupids. Source: I'm pretty smart.

>complaining about the smell of rotting rice.
The smell of rotten soybeans has sort of grown on me. It's this rich, buttery, complex, yet also rancid scent. I don't hardly mind it at all.
>tfw you're a brute when it comes to appreciating alcohol
I drank whiskey, tequila, brandy, absinthe and tonic water out of a jar last time I was drunk so I could get more drunk
I'd drink this rice shit in a second if it gets you drunk quick

>according to agriculture
you are retarded, no. it's not what lead this shit to exist. what caused people to farm was the fact that during a small period of time a place in bahgdad was super fertile and full of basically free food. a bunch of humans sat there and got fat. soon the seasons changed and they wandered off. but the winters started to suck balls, so they grabbed the easiest animals and plants to deal with they could find and started farming like crazy to stay alive.
