and seriously don't pretend you cant see the appeal of getting buzzed...and if you really can't then you are a moron. Alcohol can be a crutch or a fun activity....your choice. EDIT: I'm not fond of the taste....you try your best to cover it up...but I drink for fun. | ||

The trick was to originally only buy good beer and be generous and talk about how bad all the other shit was. Thus my little friends who hadn't drunk before college began only buying good beer which I summarily mooched while only stocking up on Trader Joes brand beers like Simpler Times and Red Oval for emergencies. I feel I did them a service my making them drink good beer and lord knows I saved on my budget. | ||

for example, how old are you right now OP? because depending on your age, this reply from answers.com (most likely derived from another source) may help: "Development of taste buds over time as the body grows. Childrens' tongues are especially sensitive towards sweet things. It's part of the body's biochemical development programme that foods with have lots of carbonhydrate power appeal more to small children than they do to adults. That's why it's not hard to get a get to like ice cream and cereal, but a different story to get him to eat squash, turnips and in some cases even meat. Alcohol is not sweet, and its poisonous. That is why it usually doesn't appeal to children, unless you mix something like Vodka & Koolaid. Then they cannot taste the alcohol. The older you become, the less dependent your body is on sugar as a primary energy source, and this deteriorates over time until some people have old-age diabetes. It's also the reason why young adults like mixed drinks with coke and 7-up, sweet wine, wine coolers and beer & soda mixes. s and dry wine appeals to older people, usually starting at the age of 35 or older." As you get older, soda pop loses its appeal (for many), as does sweet wine, sweet cocktails like daquaries margaritas and mixed drinks with Kaluha. No wonder there is a Scottish saying that goes "You're not a man until you can enjoy whiskey", and they meant whiskey pure or maybe just ice.

I think you just had terrible terrible wine. Good wine isn't supposed to be sour, it might have a hint of sourness, but it should in general be very subtle. Wine is very elegant and classy, I recommend you to go on a wine tour if there is a winery near where you live. | ||

I'm not into alcohol, and I generally stay sober even at parties, but it's pretty easy to see the appeal of it. Beer is served best as just a drink for refreshments, i reckon. My favorite beer is grolsch, or any beer from a micro brewery. Hell I even used to brew my own beer, soooo much better than commercial beer. Next time I should make one called mutalisk micro, and I dunno, put chillies and, glaves in it. Different alcohols are good for different occasions. Soju for a small get together, or SC lan, arcade party or something where gaming is involved. For a pub night, jugs of the cheapest beer you can get. Straight scotch when you can think of shit all to do. (Which I reckon tastes great btw) And whatever you can get your hands on (i dunno, goon? jaga jellies?) for a house party. | ||

Soju is also surprisingly nice, easy to drink. But yeah I despise beer for the most part. | ||

Most (especially heavy red wine) require a proper meal to be appreciated, if you dont believe me just try to drink a cahor with and without a plate of red meat to eat, you would understand my point quickly. If you want to drink wine alone, just stick to white wine or rosé, or light reds. Also please be careful to chose your wine well as bad wine is perhaps the worst alcohol on earth. Trust me, nothing can beat a bottle of cheap red wine when it comes to giving someone a hangover or to waste a stomach. | ||

You clearly need to expand your horizons on alcohol, if you think that some cheap beer/wine is the best there is..... Try a Guinness, or a Warsteiner for something a little stronger than some cheap lager. Or get a wheat ale, like a white (many breweries make whites, for instance, Sleeman, Alexander Keith's, and Rickards are 3 major breweries in Canada that make whites) for something a little sweeter. Or, even better, a cider beer works too (Magners and Woodpecker are two good ones to start with, although Strongbow is one of the more popular ones in Canada). You can get many different types of cider beers too, not all are based with apples. I've tried a blueberry-based cider beer, and it was freaking awesome! If you want a good wine, for a relatively cheap price, get one of the Wayne Gretzky wines. They're relatively cheap, and very good for the price. I'm not much of a wine drinker though - I like my beer and shots. You could always try some shots. There are some good ones. One of my favorites is Cointreau. It is an orange liqueur, very thick, very sweet, and has an incredibly good aftertaste. I actually use it as a chaser for other shots..... Some mixed drinks are awesome too. Mojitos are an awesome drink to have when you're sitting in the sun relaxing. Or try a screwdriver - orange juice hides the harshness of the vodka pretty well. Add a shot of Baileys or B52 into your coffee, rather than cream and sugar. There are some awesome, yet crazy combinations too. Ever heard of an Irish Hand Grenade? A shot of Jameson, a shot of Baileys, and a half pint of Guinness. After the shot of whiskey, you'd swear that the shot of baileys bombed in the Guinness is actually chocolate milk. I could go on and on and on..... God damn, I sound like an alcoholic..... | ||

I tried Guinness on tap the first time about two-three years ago, and it was absolutely amazing. It's still pretty good in the bottle, but not quite as good. I'd generally agree with you on dark beers (though I now prefer dark) for first time drinkers, but Guinness is very unique in that aspect. I've never had a problem with Guinness being bitter, and if you swirl it around in your mouth a bit you get a very rich and nutty taste. And damn if that isn't the gayest sounding thing I've ever said. Cider beer is indeed good, and though not a beer, it makes me recommend Hornsby's Hard Cider. That's definitely a drink I think the OP could down with ease. Though I don't hard liquor that often, I'm very fond of Grand Marnier, Bailey's, Malibu, Courvoisier and of course Jack. Once again, I'd recommend the first three to the OP; they are quite potent but are definitely some of the tastier when it come to hard liquor. The other two you should probably avoid unless you're going for Jack and Coke. | ||

This is fully correct imho, takes a long time to get used to any stout, bar a few micro-brewery exceptions. Stouts need to be consumed close to where they are brewed also, so a local stout will often be better than a internationally famous brand if transportation takes a long time. Cider is a funny old drink, easy to get started on but it can rip the stomach off you over time, very much one to be had in moderation. It's called lunatic juice for a reason ^_^ | ||
