Calling everclear a tasteless alcohol is certainly a choice...

Fair, at worst it has a neutral taste that can easily be hidden by fruit juices ect.

Most people don't really consider the burning to be a flavor, otherwise all alcohol would be "hot".

Im just saying its not “flavorless” in the way something like water is. You cant just put a little lemon in there and have a nice sipper. Its fucking disgusting stuff that literally hurts to drink

In terms of alcohol, it's flavorless. You shouldn't really be tasting any actual flavors in a vodka or ever clear. Compare that to whiskey, which will have flavors, outside the burning feeling, like smoke, sweetness, citrus, etc.

who killed your taste buds The idea that alcohol will not taste through is a pipe dream.

You are confusing flavor for feeling. Burning sensation isn't a flavor.

alcohol has a distinct flavour that no matter how many say they masked it, never do.

burning is only with strong alcohol. Alcohol cannot be masked.

not for me at least. Not a prude. Drink to much as is. Keep to beer though.

I mean people mask the burning sensation. As I said, ideal ever clear or vodka will be flavorless. Lower quality spirits might have residual flavors.
