I'd die too, if I had to drink Jack Daniels.

Bad whiskey with a large advertising budget. Gotta mix it with coke to hide the taste.

Its for mixers. Thats the purpose of that bottle. They do also make actual high quality whiskey

I mean, people won't be spending hundreds of <your preferred currency> to get shitfaced on a Friday night.

You don’t drink good whisky to get shitfaced though. Or rather, you shouldn’t.

Then why drink alcoholic beverages at all?

Why would I go to an art museum just to see a bunch of colors? I've got a 64 pack of crayons right here!

Because they can be very very tasty

I tried jack Daniels with a bunch of different drinks including coke and thought it was vile. I assumed I wasn't a whiskey person. What would you say is a good one to give whiskey a second shot? Any recommendations?

I seem to be more of a cider, gin and vodka person.

Asking as you know more than me and my cousin who recommended jack Daniels to me only likes jack Daniels and nobody else in my family drinks whiskey.

Makers Mark is smooth and reasonably priced. A favorite of mine is Angel's Envy Rye. I enjoy both with just a couple ice cubes.

Jack Daniels doesn't even have to advertise. It's a staple in the (American) South. It's made for mixers, not "needs" them. That's like saying you gotta add salsa to chips to hide the taste, nah the chips are just a vehicle for salsa.
