    I am the opposite. I really like vinegar. I made some flavored vinegars a few weeks ago - honey ginger and raspberry balsamic. Mixed with fizzy water, it's one of my favorite drinks

    My wife is the same way. She loves the Braggs stuff and eats it everyday on something.

    ACV with tart cherry juice goes down a lot easier than other stuff I've tried (grape juice, water). I think it because it is tart also and you expect sour from the juice and don't get a sour surprise when using a non-sour juice. I think that is probably why the cranberry-pomegranate stuff works better also than a lot of stuff because that has to be tart also I would imagine.

    I read somewhere that some people have bodies that crave the acid and can tolerate it better than those who have bodies that don't need the acid and that is why they can't tolerate vinegar. I don't know if this is the case but it does make sense.

    I think I need it for my gout but I sure don't like it much. Funny though, I love dill pickles but despise sweet pickles. Some pickled things I can eat but not much. I do like some vinaigrettes, but in very small quantities.

    I like sauerkraut a little and a little vinegar on spinach but that's it for me.

    I like the two together also (tart cherry/ACV). I also like to add the tbsp ACV to unfiltered regular apple cider juice. I can hardly taste the vinegar in that.

    This was encouraging to me as I like sour tastes--lemon, vinegar. I can do 2 tbsp ACV in any volume of water. My only concern would be the effect of even low concentrations of acid (in large volume of water, prolonged) on tooth enamel. I'll therefore go with shots, then rinsing out my mouth.

    Thanks, Joe.

    You can use a straw to minimize tooth contact also.

    It tastes better mixed with apple or cherry juice, IMO. I have it within one hour of my meal. Sometimes I mix a tbsp with olive oil and Italian spices to make salad dressing out of it. I don't like the flavor plain in water.

    Don't breath through nose while drinking it. Chase it with more plain water. Then breath through nose. Significantly lessens the effect. Only way I can take the stuff.

    Glad you're feeling better. If you find a combination of vinegar that works for you please let me know. I've tried everything and gag whenever I've tried something. I'm still searching for a mixture that I can tolerate. Good luck!!

    ACV in the morning with coffee would be gross IMO. I like mine in juice close to dinnertime meal.
