So many "web content providers" (ie, poorly-paid journalists) assume that to be a respectable human being, one must care fervently about various flavored beverages containing C2H6O. Why would you want to relocate to X city? Because they have lots of huts where you may freely taste the rot of grapes as sugars in them turn to C2H6O. Why visit Y town?
Top of the list is taverns where one can imbibe cereals in which the sugar has "fermented," as they say, and created some of that allegedly wonderful chemical.
I just began to waste a few minutes by answering a questionnaire which purported to inform me of my ideal city. First question? Which of the four drinks containing C2H6O is your favorite?
It never seems to enter the head of the person who made that questionnaire that carbon forms millions of chemicals, and not everyone is madly in love with that one in particular. One can choose CO2, for instance. Or one can do a low-carb diet, and sip good old fashioned H2O, maybe with a few leaves thrown in.
Some people prefer to drink tea, coffee, hot chocolate, fizzy stuff, a banana or papaya milkshake, or, for iron-deficient vampires among us -- never mind the vampires.
I grew up without the stuff. I've tried it many times since, but have not figured out what the fuss is all about. True, if I try hard, and it's cold enough, I can enjoy that barley-rot beverage with yakiniku on a hot summer day. But if C2H6O disappeared from the world tomorrow, I would lose nothing that matters. It does not define my life in any way, and I'm tired of being told that it should.
Now strawberries are another matter. After all, they contain C6H12O6, which lends sweetness to life. I'd better go pick some for breakfast.
