I like to drink occasionally - but beer has got to be the grossest thing. . .

If you don't like cereal you are not likely to like Beer.

But if you do enjoy cereal, try eating with Beer instead of Milk. Tastes great and puts a smile on your face. The ladies at work will look better too!

Sign me up for all those.

[not really]

Either way, you missed the point. Drinking alcohol is not illegal, everything you mentioned is.

Three words for you ignorant one: Fin du Monde That's right...9%

J/K...some people just don't like beer and that's ok. You're probably a minority though :p

Say it with my now A-L-C-O-H-O-L. Seriously though if you don't like it, so what some people do some people don't. The reason most people start drinking is indeed alcohol, but after a while you do start to like the taste of many alcoholic beverages. Or more likely your brain starts to associate the buzz with the taste so what used to taste bad is now associated with something you like so your brain says "hay I rather like the taste of this!"

I like the taste of some beers... other ones just don't taste that great to me. I can't say exactly why I like the ones I do... I don't care that much about it to analyze it like that. I enjoy MGD, Budweiser, Molsen Ice, and Yuengling to name a few. After 3 or 4 I can drink pretty much anything though... at that point taste isn't that important. ;)

Just like everything else in life we are entitled to our own likes and dislikes, and opinions. If you have only tried/tasted beer from a bottle or god forbid out of a can then you cannot objectively critique the flavor of beer, especially since it has been pasturized for life in a small container. I only drink "the Suds" from a tap protruding out of my extra refridgerator here at home. Even the cheapest of Beers tastes so much better chilled to near freezing when stored in a keg. I have a friend that drinks that rotgut "OLD Makemewalkfunny" from his tap system and it is actually palatable, although not my favorite. Like anyting else in life, you get what you pay for. If you buy cheap beer then you get bear that tastes that way. Salute!

American lagers are crappy. The only one I can stand is Coors, and that's because its cheap and that's usually what my friends get kegs of. Tastes metallic though, but not nauseating like Budweiser. If I have a choice of beers, I go with Newcastle or Bass (in bottles) or Guinness (on draught)

Is it bad that I drank 10 beers and passed out. And after waking up at 11pm I want to start drinking some more.

Actually, beer and wine are rather peculiar stuff. Wine is actually spoiled grape juice with yeast crap in it...usually so much so that the yeast have died from the toxicity of their own waste. Pretty much the same for beer except the liquid is a grain extract dissolved/suspended in water.

I like to point this out when people are being particularly snobby about the wines they like. Tends to slow down the conversation a bit.

By the way, does anyone else think that Pinot Noirs come in two taste varieties; outstandingly great or tasting like dirt?

Cheers!

Consuming alcohol is a sign of weakness.

I am so weak.

American mass produced pi$$ beer does taste like $hit. But Belgain beer and many american microbrews are incredible. Beer has a complex array of flavors that can't be matched by any other beverage.
