I sure as hell wouldn't drink it if it didn't get me drunk.

Most people woudln't - but if your only purpose is to get drunk, and you cannot stand the taste of beer, why not drink something that tastes good to you? Unless you are a minor, and beer is all you have available - that is the only reason I can think of.......

Just go get yourself a Full Sail Amber, or an nice big bottle of Arrogant Bastard - Mmmmmmm! :)

I LOVE THAT STUFF!!
Oh man, I might have to go to the local beer specialty store and get some again.
Haven't heard of the other one though.

damn good taste there =)
Here in seattle almost all grocery stores have arrogant bastard.
gotta get some of that for tomorrow...if only I hadnt just finished playin edward 40 hands tonight.
*goes to check on puking friend*
good times...

seriously how can anybody like this crap?

please stop talking like a teenage girl. So is it "like bitter", or does it taste bitter? or is it <twirling your hair> like bitter! teehee</twirling your hair>

Also, I like my coffee black, tea unsweetened. Its just an acquired taste

LOL

I didnt like it at first, but after drinking it everyday for a few weeks, you can start sitting down and enjoying a few.. or 40 if you want to get drunk.

What makes you say that?

Im guessing personal experience...

It's just like blending vegetable juice.. probably not the yummiest stuff which is why we don't ALL do it. That's why we prefer fruit juices with some sugar and some ice cream (smoothies) so it tastes better.

If OP was asking why smoothies suck (when they are like accepted by the public to be tasty things) then I would question his intelligence.

However, things like beer, really it's not that good. I drink coffee sometimes, but it's ok. Tea is a lot better in terms of taste because there's the herb-like scent too. But beer? Honestly, if you oculdn't get drunk off beer, would you really drink it? If it wasn't this "big boy" thing like cigarettes once were, would you really drink it?

Could you honestly say it tastes GOOD? I mean without the alcoholic effect, you would drink beer over a can of coke, a milkshake, a yummy frappuccino, a jamba juice? Really?

I swear without the alcohol, we wouldnt drink it. So to those who say it's great or it's yummy... is it really?

People eat sushi cuz it's yummy, not because they want to get the wasabi spicy tingling effect in their tongue. Thus, they appreciate food for its taste. Beer on the other hand is different.

Delerium is an awesome beer;)

I would definately drink it, maybe not as often but it just goes well with certain things. Like wings.

To the OP: try a lambic beer, they are double fermented with fruits and taste more like wine coolers than beers.

I personally don't like it. I never drink anything alcoholic for that matter.
