its not a side effect. a side effect is when you take something in the normal dose, for example promethazine is an antihistamine but it causes drowziness which is a side effect. water doesn't have a side effect in a normal dose.
gotta try the clear tequila if you haven't already. There's a huge difference in effects and taste. I definitely feel you on disliking it as a whole though. I def prefer other drinks
Always beer first to get things started. If it's summer I like mixed drinks gulp gulp type drinks but on winter sip sip type drinks like whisky and wine hits. Wait that rhymed shit xd
