I'm sure I'm not the only one who just really enjoys the taste of alcohol and would love a way to drink more of it without its effects, both the "positive" and the negative side.

It's genuinely one of my big wishes! I'd pay 5x the normal price for a bottle of whisky that neither has the "good" nor "bad" parts, as if it was water but with the same taste.

I don’t think they do whiskey yet, but ISH Spirits makes some tasty alcohol free products.

Unless I'm missing something, that just seems like standard non-alcoholic drinks. Which miss the key flavour ingredient I'm talking about - the alcohol! The way it tingles your mouth, the warmth as it goes down, it completely changes the taste profile. Chemistry is not my strong suit so I have no idea if there's any substitutes that could be used to mimic this but without the health effects (good/bad), but until then, nothing nonalcoholic will taste anything like a spirit.
