Why does T.V. make drinking alcohol look so easy?

Question

Ok I know i can't be the only one to notice that when people on T.V. drink alcohol (whether it be shots or beer or whatever) they always make it look extremely easy and many times fun.

I dont think beer tastes that bad but hard liqour such as vodka, tequila etc all taste HORRIBLE!!!!! Dont you guys think thats wierd??!?!??

Answer 1

I am a bartender so I definitely have experience drinking and serving.  That most most important things to remember about alcohol is don't buy cheap c**p and if you are drinking martinis shake the c**p out of them so they are nice and cold.  Some of the drinks that are out you can barely taste the alcohol.  One of my favorite drinks is key lime pie.  Just guess what it tastes like.....

Answer 2

I don't think that it is weird. You get used to it. Myself, I usually make a face when I drink hard liquor, but I like it and can do it just fine. They also aren't drinking real alcohol.

Answer 3

because they want YOUR MONEY AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE IT LOOK SPECTACULAR , THE SAME AS SMOKING.     MAKE IT LOOK FUN AND EXCITING.

Answer 4

I HATE that, it drives me crazy!! Like on movies when they show girls taking shots of tequila and they dont make a face or anything, when in real life it would burn the **** out of your throught and make you feel like you are gonna throw up from the taste!! Yeah it drives me crazy!

Answer 5

its not weird cuz its not real liquor or else theyd be too drunk to answer. so yes drinking looks easy when ure not actually drinking it. they simply make drinks "virgin" style. scotch is replaced with teas and "set-out" sodas. vodkas and tequilas r replaced with water or lite flavored syrups and something else but i forgot. js as when they smoke, if the actor actually doesnt smoke they use herbal cigs and those taste like major c**p.

Answer 6

Yeah lol. I see people drinking stuff like gin on the rocks and it makes me wanna puke that stuff is terrible on its own, like many of the hard liquors. its all a marketing ploy to get your money.

Answer 7

Well, they're drinking water. But hard alcohol is easy for me to drink, so maybe it's some sort of truth in television.
