I first tasted beer in a b-day party about a few years ago when I was 15, but my face got all red after a mouthful so I switched to coke. But today in my friend's brother's wedding, one guy in my table replaced my coke with beer with an evil smile on his face, and I was like "whatever, not like I will die or anything, it's just liquid". It went much better than expected, after about 2 glasses I was still not drunk, though the need to go to the bathroom was really intense. After the party was over I felt a little dizzy, but not at all "insane".
I think I drank a total of about 3 glasses.
Now that I'm home, my head is aching. When I looked in the mirror my face was red.
I still prefer coke, beer is kinda tasteless and a bit bitter. I don't know how people can drink so much of it. really.

edit: I wanted to go to the bathroom to pee, not to puke!

Taste around. Find a beer you like. Also, remember to drink about as much water as you've drunk beer. Perhaps even more. I didn't remember to drink enough water, and today I'm dead tired :-P

It will come with time, and if you ever feel real sick just disappear for a bit and use the toilet to puke it out. Try not to puke in front of people, and NEVER puke on people and NEVER puke in front of girls (especially attractive girls). GL HF

You don't have to drink as much water as beer and of course you should not drink so much that you have to puke. Although until you know how you feel when you should stop drinking it might still happen

If you get used to it beer just tastes very good

Beer is an acquired taste you learn to love as you grow older.

Gonna take a bit of experience to know how you feel when you've had enough. Beer is easier because it has a lower proof but be slower with liquors, you can feel totally fine and down a ton of liquor and then get sick because it takes awhile for the alcohol to hit you.

Basically, it means it tastes like shit but you condition yourself to like it for the side benefits (like coffee.) After a while, beer seems to taste good and you might even crave it with a good meal or in a party environment, but don't delude yourself into thinking it's actually good.

Also, I assume you're asian so get used to the red face and getting dizzy pretty quickly. Just make sure you've got food in you and you're drinking water. *cough*

Bullshit. There's a bunch of PBR in this world, but don't go around saying beer isn't good. The bitterness can throw people off and the fact that some of them taste like horse piss can't be avoided, but you don't just drink it for the effects.

Try mixing rum with your coke next time. I personally don't like beer that much either. I prefer hard liquor or wine.

you dont have to drink if you dont want. its your personal preference. noone respectable will think lesser of you for choosing not to drink. some people find it impressive. its your choice, dont drink because you feel like its something that everyone does.

Beer is not for everyone, trust me on this one. I've drinken many a beer in my life, but I would prefer a nice cold soda over a beer. Just me though!
