I think if you stick to one glass on a weekday, should be fine.

Where’s the straw?

While you might disagree, very dry beverages have never been enjoyable through a straw to me.

I’m no stranger to booze straws, but red wine would be one of my last choices for one for me.

It’s because dry beverages aren’t very tasty

That’s a pretty bold statement (though TBH I don’t really disagree). I’m not a big fan of dry beverages generally speaking, but different strokes for different folks; even for the same folks, tastes evolve (the booze I enjoy now was disgusting to me half a lifetime ago); and also context matters a lot. I have enjoyed dry red wines much more with a well paired dish or even mixed with a less dry drink than I have by themselves.

People who are not you or me can apparently even enjoy them without accommodation.

A straw still sounds like an unappealing addition, though.

I don’t understand why (even while I sense it happening to me in real time) but it seems like part of getting older is enjoying drinks that are shitty on purpose.

It’s just a powder if it’s dry then, innit

Now I want a Moscato juice pouch. Are these a thing yet? How do I make this a thing?
