烈酒烧喉清酒无味
[liè jiŭ shāo hóu qīng jiŭ wú wèi]
A juxtaposition between strong alcoholic drinks that sting the throat and light sake which tastes insipid. This suggests a feeling that after experiencing powerful and intense events (often negative but impactful), simpler pleasures may lack luster and interest, reflecting post-climax depression.
