Second time? Anyway, It's not like I don't hang out with people doing vodka shots or somehow look down on them for it, I just never really saw the point of shooting a small glass of just plain alcohol taste. Even cheap tequila has a fairly distinct flavor and that's part of what I like about taking shots. Same with gin shots because the juniper berry has a unique and not unpleasant taste. I guess if I was serious about all this, I might shoot vodka to pick up on its subtleties, but it's not something I really care enough to do.
