Beer is an acquired taste. I started off with shitty beers, realized they sucked, and kept moving up. And nothing is better than getting together with friends, having a grill with some steaks/burgers and some good beer.
Exactly, try all kinds of beers and you'll be able to find what tastes good (or just better haha).
It's all about the chilling around and relaxing with friends.

I hate beer, I drink harder liquors, smirnoff, jack, captain, etc..Anyone every try 151? Just bought some last night - very hard liquor. I usually mix it with OJ, pop or some other kind of juice.
Wonder how old the OP is?
"Here son, have a taste of this"
"daddy, this is aweful! BRB thread on TL" Flaming Dr. Peppers are awesome with 151. 151, Amaretto, Beer. Good to go. A few of those will get you messed up a bit. You gotta get quality Amaretto though, it will taste bad if you get the really shitty stuff. I wouldnt recommend doing straight shots of 151 to anyone though, I did 3 and had heartburn for like 2 days 
Rocky Mountain Bear Fucker: one third 151, one third whiskey, one third tequila. Not something I'd voluntarily drink again, but I'm buying one for my friends on their birthdays from now on.

I just don't get alcohol either - most of it tastes gross to me, and the idea of upping your chances of;
A) Throwing up. (As an emetophobe this is my #1 reason for not drinking.)
B) Getting sick some other way such as an accident whilst drunk, or liver damage if you drink excessively for a long time.
C) Losing or having your possessions stolen.
D) Getting in trouble with the police.
E) Causing problems with friends or family.
It just doesn't appeal. This only really applies to excessive drinking, and I will have the odd glass of something with a meal, but generally I just prefer the safety and taste of something non-alcoholic.

It's sounds stupid, but yeah, when I drink alcohol I do it to get drunk to some degree. I find it tolerable, and somewhat tasty in some forms (White russians, mm..) but mostly if I wanted to drink something purely for the taste; it wouldn't contain alcohol.
Adding a pic of a white russian for good measure.
+ Show Spoiler +
EDIT: Seriously, if you don't like the taste of the ethanol, try that drink. Shit tastes like chocolate milk or something.

Yeah, the things you names are really for the minority of people that abuse alcohol. I drink often, but that doesn't mean I get drunk or that I'm not responsible. I grew out of the stage for I just drink to get drunk (though sometimes it will still happen). Getting in trouble with the police and having family problems because of it are from people that abuse it and/or are alcoholics. That or just plain irresponsible.

Used to be in the same boat. Hated beer, I could barely finish one beer before I felt like hurling.
I tried all of what my friends and other college drinkers drank (like Heineken, Corona, Miller Lite/Coors/Budweiser etc) I came to the conclusion that beer was overrated.
Then I tried some chocolate stouts. OMG it was good. I then started drinking a lot of dark beers. Now I love beer lol. Corona and Heineken is still ass. I'd suggest drinking some Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada beers if you want a casual beer, those are pretty good. Or try some wheat beers/hefeweizens. Before long you can notice subtle tastes and aromas that make the beer taste really freaking good instead of just alcohol. (Ex. If you smell a Sam Adams lager after you finish the bottle and leave it out a while, it smells like caramel, mMmm.)

How old are you? No one actually likes alcohol when they are very young... you get used to it then actually enjoy it. I hated beer in my early teens.. I very much enjoy it now.

Just keep drinking you'll get the hang of it eventually.

I am not too adverse towards "fruitier" drinks, ie. drinks that don't have that overwhelming alchohol taste to it. If it tastes fruity, milky, or what have you, it would be alright.
However, I absolutely despise beer. The last time I had a beer, I had a cup of bud, and a whole 5+ hours later, I start vomiting like 3-4 times. I'm assuming I am a normal sized human being and can process alchohol, but the lingering taste of beer in my mouth eventually made me vomit. Even drinking other things like water, juice, etc. would not help, and the beer smell would still be there.
That was 2 months ago, and even now, if I take a whiff of beer, I start getting the chills. Probably need another couple months for my next beer excursion.

Mmm rereading this thread made me get my sambuka-coffee on. It's a subtle and delicious way to get buzzed at home.

Honestly I'm not a huge fan of beer. I mean, I'll drink it, its not that I think its disgusting but other then parties, I won't do so in my spare time by myself. Its very tasteless and bland imo.
Now a warm flask of bootleg BaiJiu and some shitty Chinese peanuts.

yeah that's the thing about alcohol though - it's better not to drink it at all than to do so excessively. if you can handle your drinks and know your limit, it's a great addition to the atmosphere and a way to a good night

You can seriously feel your heart rising in temperature after taking a shot of that.
That's only for the manliest of all men.

I don't understand people who drink alcohol for the taste either. I drink to feel good. I think people just end up getting used to the terrible taste.

There are a lot of drinks I drink just for taste. I said it earlier, but most of the time I don't drink to get drunk. I enjoy the taste of many different drinks.

i drink to get a buzz, minimum. Id rather have fountain mt dew if its for taste ;D

My favorite thing about drugs in general is the altered state of mind you get, but I just can't drink until I'm drunk or buzzed, I don't like it. I throughly enjoy almost every other drug I've tried (besides LSA, very boring to me).

im almost the opposite i love getting smashed out of my mind, though that's probably cause i dont do it that often. But god damn drinking is the best thing to do up here just because of the people and atmosphere involved.
You've never been drunk until you've been drunk at a party in northern canada. The good thing about alcohol is the taste stops mattering once you are sufficiently drunk
