Why? It tastes like what I imagine paint thinner would.

It has less of the impurities that brown liquors have, especially high-end vodka that is filtered multiple times. These impurities can exacerbate hangovers. It has no taste, so it lets the flavors in drinks mixed with it take center stage. Some people (like me) don't particularly like the taste of whiskey/bourbon. Vodka's an alternative. |

It has a taste, it's just not a pleasant one. I like whiskey every now and then, but this is just bad. It's Smirnoff triple distilled 100 proof. |

Whiskey tastes like ethanol, plus all the nuances derived from the barrels it's aged in. |

I've known two over the top alky's, the kind that are obviously trying to kill themselves with booze... both drank straight vodka or vodka and water. That's because it is less aromatic than gin or whisky. Harder to detect if they happen to still be employed somewhere. |

I dont get it either. The best vodka has no taste. The best it can do it make otherwise bring drinks into something that can get you drunk.
Give me something that has been sitting in charred American white oak barrels in a Kentucky rackhouse for at least a dozen years; with all those beautiful intricate flavors.
