I enjoy many beers. I usually drink Pacifico when I'm thirsty, Guiness when I'm not, and Chimay when I can get it in small bottles. I like to match international food with a beer from the country.
I don't drink them to get drunk because that involves drinking so much that I have to pee every ten minutes, plus it takes too long.
I think many people have trouble drinking it because they've grown up expecting a drink to be sweet, which beer is not. I think you can acquire the taste when you drink enough for your taste recognizers to get used to a drink that isn't fruity.
I can completely understand why someone wouldn't want to drink all that beer to develop a taste for it. It took my 2 years under the guidance of a guy from Denmark who knew what was good. After the first year it was "not that nasty," after the second it was "pretty good."
I'm working on acquiring a taste for Scotch now, which has been difficult but not as bad as beer.
