For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.seriously part of the reason is that we are born with loads more taste buds than we have as an adult which is one of the reasons that baby food tastes bland to adults. As the taste bud numbers diminish, we learn to appreciate stronger flavours although having said that, beer still tastes undrinkable to me!
i love the taste of alcohol. thats a real good point about taste buds diminishing, does anyone know if certain things kill them like smoking and "drinking heavily". I used to smoke 60 a day till about 4 yrs ago and I swear my taste changed totally. My aunt who smokes makes horrible horrible coffee but says mine is bland, now I know mine is good I can tell the difference by taste alone between beans.
