I was a vodka drinker for years and only drank Smirnoff's, not because of the taste tests that it won as I started well before those were taken. It is one of the few vodkas that does not give me a headache and I've tried most of them over the years. And yes, I have left restaurants that did not have it or I would just drink water. One that I went to was advertising that they had over 100 brands of vodka, this was around the time that Smirnoff was winning the taste tests and no, they did not have it, I left. When I drink I want to drink whatever I like, same with ordering food. Several times over the years I asked bars if they would start carrying Smirnoff's and at least two of them started and to this day still carry it, very popular brand.
