"All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes — a fact which is recognized in the extra ration issued to old-age pensioners." - George Orwell Adding this man to my list of crushes I have on dead people
Interesting - what’s the mechanism do you think? My experience would point to: once you “get” what’s good about a thing you can detect it when it’s in smaller quantities ...

I'm thinking more of food/drink we consume for taste rather than stimulant/depressing effects I guess. So even though sensitivity to spice goes down with age, you want less of it too... milder. Though some people get on an increasing-chilli endorphin addiction kick.

But I'm not that sensitive/sophisticated/cultivated in my approach to taste to talk of detecting it in smaller quantities... I think I just don't like intense experiences, and like them less with every passing year
