Usually social stigma and context. Fireball has less proof that regular whiskey and it's flavored so generally it's preferred by younger/less experienced drinkers, because of that it's just associated as a college shot that people should "grow out of". To your 2nd point I think stigma answers as well, a long island iced tea has a ton of liquor in it but is still a lot of times seen as a drink only garbage people drink. At the end of the day, just drink what you like.

The US, I think the confusion is I think you're talking net worth where I'm talking yearly income. Usually when the 1% discussion happens it's "how much do you have to make in a year to be in the 1%" but if you were talking about the net worth of the 1% then yea it would be a much higher number

Not a fun one, I bartended through college and fireball and rumple are always the 2 shots non industry people buy you while you work (Jameson, a mid tier tequila, or fernet are usually what other F&B people will buy you) so after a while my body just started refusing them. I could probably take a fireball shot and then gag a little bit afterwards but I literally couldn't swallow rumple at this point. Ive been in bars where people around me are shooting rumple and the smell alone makes me sick
