I hate beer, but most other forms of alcohol are to me like "candy for adult people". If I have alcohol at home, I am tempted to drink it. Luckily, if I don't have it at home, I am not tempted to go buy one.
Explaining why I like the taste of alcohol would be like explaining why I like spicy food. It burns on the tongue but it still makes me feel warm and good.
Very interesting way to describe alcohol. I feel like candy is candy for adult people. Alcohol is nothing like candy. but this certainly helps to change my picture of how other people understand alcohol.
Do you still eat candy? What are your tastes/feelings towards candy?
Thanks!
I eat everything that contains sugar. I try to avoid doing this too often, but the temptation is very strong. (Unlike with alcohol, even if I don't have anything sweet at home, I feel a desire to go and buy something.)
Substitutes for sugar are: alcohol, soylent. That is, when I drink alcohol or soylent, I no longer desire to also eat something sweet.
For what its worth - (unverified source) internet google searched image of - "craving foods and what it means" http://bluelyfetraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/foodcraving.png
I saw them a long time ago and kept it in the back of my mind that "cravings" are not always related to what you think you should eat.
