to the people who drink their liquor neat. why?

this isnt me trying to be judgy btw ı am genienly curious.

i drink vodka with coke but ı did try liquor twice maybe three times. ı think it was whiskey and sweet rum and the taste went from “burns my thoat” to “burns my throat”

so why do it instead of like mixing? is it a “you get used to it” after a while? am ı just a little bitch?
