uggh, guiness has always been just too much for me. i don't like to feel like i ate dinner with every draft.

Absolutely. There are much cheaper and easier ways to get drunk than drinking beer. In fact I drink beer a couple times a week at least, and haven't had enough to even get a buzz in several months.

As everyone else is saying, it's an aqquired taste. The first beer I tasted, I spit out. In High School I drank beer (keystone, busch, or bud and coors when we could afford it) to get drunk, even though I didn't like the taste. In college, I drank beer (original Coors and bud heavy) to get drunk, but started to like the taste.

Now I rarely get drunk anymore, but I really like beer, and drink it just for the taste now. I used to drink at least 1 or 2 a day, but I've been trying to maintain a healthier diet the last year or so, so I have a beer a couple times a week. My favorites are Anchor Steam, Fat Tire, and Newcastle Brown Ale. If I want to get drunk though, I still get Bud Light or something, because it's easy to drink, and not filling, so you can put away a 12-pack hehe.

this beer hate-fest makes me sad. i'd like to have a Dos Equis in my hands at all times.

Ahem...this is NOT a "beer hate-fest," at least its not the original intent. We are simply discussing why/how is beer great. You can like beer and i can not and I'll still respect you. :)

eek!
 

eek! you dont like beer? well i can tell u a reason, u dont like the bitterness of beer prolly and as u age this taste will grow on u and u will enjoy bitterness(dontknowifitsrightwordcuzimadumbviking) anyway i learned this in my school where i learned this weird info about industrial makin of food and whatever comes with it :P

I've tried about 4 or 5 different types and had to pour each one out by the time I got halfway through it. More of a maltliqour, wine type of guy. Although margaritas are the only thing to ever give me a buzz.

gosh, I've on the teat soooooo long :lol:

and by the way you post.........you must still have a bit 'o wobbly in you .......................eh?:D

I'll have to agree with most of the people...drink some real stuff....not light warm keg shit you find at typical parties.
And yes drink from cold bottles it tastes the best...
Anybody can find a beer they like...so many..so little time...

Beer kind of tastes like sweat squeeged off the back of some fat dudes neck to me. I think I had a Grolsch not long ago, had some wine too, didn't care for either. Champagne is pretty good though.

I'm not interested in getting drunk either, don't really care for those types.

I tried what i think was beer?
Some kind of cider.. it was my friend's drink.
It was ooook.

WHAT!!!

how can you NOT like beer!!! It's the greatest drink ever!!!
Off course, in the States you guys are probably forced to drink dish-water-like-beers like Bud, or even worse: Heineken... Just a warning: never drink Dutch beer, NEVER ever!

In Belgium we have over 600 different sorts of beers, it's our national drink here! I tell you, there's a flavour for everyone. So don't start generalizing Budweiser as beer, because it's nothing like the real stuff we have here!!!!

hehe, way to tell em lisa :)






<--- not that I'm prejudiced or anything... :D


at any rate, there's a kind of beer for everybody, there's even a beer-champagne over here now :)

there's bitter beer, fruit-aroma beer, beer that'll knock you down after 3 glasses, and beer you just drink while eating, beer that gets better with aging, beer that should be drank asap, beer for the poor college boy, the working member of society and for the retired gentlemen or elderly woman.

You can not care for alcohol at all, but if you do like alcohol, there's bound to be a beer out there for you :)

have yet to find a beer that appeals to me round here- so for now its girlie drinks or straight shots- just started selling swords at S.C.A. events, and its microbrew heaven, so probably will find one that I like sooner or later- and even if not, mmmmmm Honey mead.......

What's so great about beer?

Everything

beer's good.

weed's better.

What makes beer so great? Huh .. boy this one is a real thinker for me. For my once in a great while drunken nights it would have to be that for me beer is a great socializer. And great memory that I can look back upon and remember there is something more than complaining about work or little everyday things when I can remember how drunk I may have gotten in having to pray to porclein god and remind myself I never wanna look that foolish again. And when I foget the feeling of that moment and need a refreshing course well .. beer seems to be great refresher I need.

Beer is shitty.

I'll do the math for you

8 bottles of Smiroff = Me almost still sober
8 cans of beer = Me wasted

Simple enough?

OH MY GOD

I'm sure I'm having the same reaction Homer Simpson would have!

Don't ever speak badly of the beer again!

I could live on beer, bread, chocolate, and the occasional sushi for the rest of my life

I have an advantage, though -- my brother makes beer professionally at small, regional breweries, and my favorites are the IPAs, or India Pale Ales. He brings cases of 22 oz. bottles, and I'm very happy....

Beer fits a niche. It is not sweet, like pop or fruit juice. I think it is a lot like coffee, also something of an aquired taste, but refreshing. It goes great with lots of different foods, particularly spicy and salty stuff. And, it is mostly harmless.

The alcohol gives you a little burst, that doesnt get in the way until you have had 2 or 3.

I like it.

Thanks for listening.

Taste's great and it's less filling. Wait,....Right?...

I love the taste of beer. Not the cheap stuff. Just about any lager will get me by. Except Sam Adam's bad aftertaste. Aquired Taste? I think so.

I got pretty buzzed tonight off of like 10 bucks of beer. It's cheap and doesn't taste as bad as people make it out to be
