I don't believe for a moment that you are 31 as you claim. Namely because you claim that certain drinks "suck ass" and that people who drink the beverages should all "DIAF". I doubt anyone beyond the age of 16 would talk in such a manner.
I like how you compared beer and wine which use growing, cultivation and preparation methods that have been perfected and passed down over generations with water from the toilet. It really shows how you've obviously got a top-notch grasp of the English language and can use it to describe your point of view clearly. Well done.
When I was 12/13 I couldn't stand beer, much less wine. I thought I'd never like it and couldn't comprehend how 'grown-ups' manage to neck it back, and for pleasure, no less. That was many years ago, and these days I can really enjoy a quality wine and of course, little beats a cool beer.
Granted not everyone has the same taste, but stating that all people who have a certain preference should die shows immaturity and distinct ignorance.
I'm in a nasty mood, and wouldn't mind seeing at least 40% of the world population die anyway. So although I wouldn't wish every beer or wine drinker dead, I would wish it on a good percentage of them. Only reason I used 'DIAF' is as the remark was as silly as all the remarks people on here use it for. I wouldn't really risk using a fire for people I want dead, as they might survive it.
I have tried beer and wine once in a while, but just gave up on them around the age of 20. So it takes effort to make beer or wine, does that mean you suddenly should enjoy it? Not everything gets better with time. I don't like bitter tastes, which cancels out just about all beers. I find the aftertaste of wine nasty too, so I can choose between paying a lot for good wines to 'learn' to drink some of them, or I can spend far less on drinks I already like. I love Tequila sunrise, but I love a lot of non-alcoholic sweet tasting drinks too, and those cost less and don't leave me feeling very crappy as alcohol takes away all sense of balance for me without cancelling out my rational thought. So I know I fall over if I stand up, and feel crappy about it.
So... Can you give me one good reason why I should want to drink wine or beer?
Still not convinced. You talk like a child, you describe the palate of a child ("I like sweet things, like candy and cola!") and you seem to have the mentality of a child. Plus you're in a clan called the clan of idiots...
You can get sweet wines, less bitter beer such as lager, sweet white wines (to the point of being almost sickly sweet). You could even go for a bitter shandy which is super-sweet since it seems to be what you like.
Fact is, people can spend years wine tasting and not taste the same wine twice: different weather during each year changes the taste of the produced wine. There's a lot more depth to wine varieties than the discrete sets of red or white. Since you claim it's over eleven years since you last tasted wine, coupled with the fact that you only occasionaly tasted wine, I don't feel you're in a position to really say for certain whether you like wine/beer or not. I know my tastes have changed significantly in ten years.
Of course if you go into trying a decent alcoholic beverage in the mindset that it's going to taste putrid, you'll probably convince yourself that it is, even before it's touched your lips.
If you are actually 31, then you're missing out on a whole world of tasty treats. Nothing beats a nice glass of red with some french or italian cheese (preferably blue such as cambozola or gogonzola) and some real crispy bread. Absolute bliss.
Shrug, I don't really care what you think. I dislike bitter tastes and like sweet tastes (not ultra sweet, but a bit), it's as simple as that.
That you are so 'cool and grown-up' that you don't like chocolate or other sweet stuff anymore and only drink beer and wine doesn't mean everyone is such a moron that they think taste is a perfect indication of age. It's mostly a matter of what you are used to. And thinking you have to learn to like beer or wine to be cool in puberty is about as much a sign of lack of intelligence as crushing empty tins on your forehead or being religious.
Still, try and give me one reason why I should 'learn to' drink it.
I swear..........
If the wines you've been tasting are bitter, you've been drinking mostly dry reds or whites. There are very sweet reds and whites out there, you know. Just as there are very sweet beers out there (one I found is a raspberry-based beer out of South America....no bitterness, trace of sweetness....nice change from American lager beers.)
Honestly, if you want to give wine a fair chance, go to a WINE shop, not the supermarket, and ask for some help in choosing something. Or read the wine guides for some guidance.
Now, if you really want a man's drink, and this is a taste one has to acquire, try some GOOD single-malt scotch. That stuff'll grow hair....and soooo smoooooth.

Personally I don't enjoy sweet drinks anymore, specially not if I'm going to get drunk.
High quality beer and wine is good when enjoyed with food and friends for dinner and conversations into the morning.
If you just want to get drunk choose whatever suits you best. Personally it's hard liqouer + water taht gives me fewest problems next day. Usually I drink beer since it's cheaper.
But I never mix beer, wine, and drinks if I know I'm going to get really drunk.

I love chocolate, what are you talking about?
My point is this: You've supposedly not tried wine/beer in 10+ years, you might find you like it better now after all this time.
My second point is that there is a massive selection of beers and wines, some of which being slightly or even very sweet. You might like them if only you tried.
I get great pleasure from a decent wine of beer and think you should make an effort to find someething you like. I don't like all wines. For example, I'm not a great fan of Port or other fortified wines.
Maybe it's because wine is usually french or italian that's subconciously putting you off. Try out some of the californian reds. I've had fantastic exeriences with some of them.

Yeah woke up at 7am... big headache... never drinking wine again. there are just no positives to it. even the crap stuff is expensive. and the good stuff is just off the wall. And it hurts my head. Pass out till noon. Booo wine. hey i been gettin trashed off beer since I was 18. I know that's not much to some but I think i've built a fairly good tolerance. until I met my mortal enemy... wine. gaaah. you can keep your wines.
I like cola, I like ice tea, I like fruit juice. Why put so much effort into finding a wine I like? It's more expensive than the other drinks, and I quit drinking alcohol anyway (due to feeling crappy after it ruins my balance).
First the "good stuff" is not always the expensive stuff.. You find the wine you like which could easily be the cheap stuff.
The headache is likely from the sulfites. Try white.
