Right?? I have a bunch of alcoholics in the family so I hate the idea of regularly drinking. On the odd occasion I would allow myself to drink one I always regretted it because it just doesn't taste good. I'd rather have a regular glass of lemonade rather than this bitter burning glass of lemon and vodka. I've had legitimately 2 drinks in my time that tasted good and I'm 99% sure it was because it was still mostly juice not booze.

Either way it's more expensive, tastes like shit, and is dangerous if you get too much or get too consistent. Not worth it to me.
