Guinness is a terrible beer to start, in fact, most people I know initially hated dark beers. Cider beers are awesome indeed.

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 ^_^


Yep yep ^^

I work in Ebisu (Tokyo), on the grounds of an ancient brewery before they got bought out and moved (Ebisu was acquired by Sapporo). The Ebisu dark I get on tap near my workplace is literally 10x better than Guinness, which they also have on tap.

Damn, now I crave one...

Are you kidding? Neither Bailey's nor Malibu have as much alcohol as Listerine. They're around 20% alcohol, which is weak enough to chug if you have to.

If you're looking for stronger alcohols that still don't taste like shit, there are a bunch of fruit-flavored spirits that are around 50% alcohol and still taste decent. 99 Apples or 99 Bananas are a pretty cheap alcohol that you can find that taste like liquid candy.

Acquired taste. I disliked alcohol when I first drank it. It took a while before I started enjoying beer.

It really depends on what kind of beer you're drinking. If it's like Natural Light or some sort of other low quality beer then, yeah, it's going to taste like shit unless it's super cold. College either makes you love beer cause you want to seem like you're not a square, or it ruins beer for you cause it all tastes horrible. Try going to a bar to get draft beer or look for different types of beer, maybe you'll like lighter beers llike Qingdao or something like that.

Try coolers Mr. OP

On a side note. I just had I glass of beer yesterday in Taiwan. My first glass since it's illegal for me to drink in the U.S. (what a good boy). I wasn't tipsy AT ALL. Waste of enduring the bitterness.

Did you expect to feel tipsy after drinking a single glass of beer? Even for "light weight" drinkers, it will take more beer than that. Unless of course, this was a massive glass consisting of multiple pints.

Beer is awesome! What's wrong with you people?

Once you get used to the taste of beer - You'll love it! I promise. It tastes great and there so many variants of beer, it cant get any better than that.

I also find beer incredibly bitter, last time I had 10 shots of whiskey I almost puked.

My dealer is my best friend, and we don't even chill.

I did say I don't drink hard liquor often, and for someone who doesn't even care for beer and wine due to the taste, dropping them into higher alcohol stuff probably won't increase their fondness for it. Bailey's and Malibu taste good, so there's not much more to it than that. If you look at my profile considering the fact that I'm a nerd that doesn't socialize, you might see why my alcoholic knowledge is rather limited.

@illu: Try getting drunk with some good friends. You can do this without having to even taste alcohol. You might make punch with some kind of fruity juice, orange juice mixes quite well (but try to also add in some kind of red or purple as long as you know the juice mix you end up with still tastes decent), and then also have a bottle of vodka handy (Smirnoff tends to be a cheaper brand popular with poor college students). You can add about half the bottle to the juice, assuming you have a lot of it, but I like to add the vodka into individual drinks, so you can get a feel for how much you want in each drink. You can actually add quite a bit in each drink without being able to taste it (okay, you might be able to taste it 2-5% as opposed to 40%, but it's less than beer) depending on the mixture of juices you use.

Also: don't sip it. Drink it like you would juice, but don't be chugging the whole glass, you can do that next time. Beer is the kind of drink you chug. This is the kind of drink you gulp.

Keep drinking until you're just past "buzzed" and just before "drunk." I find that's generally the best place to be for parties. This should take about 2-4 drinks depending on how much vodka you add in. Then, have fun. After reading the OP I feel that you're one of those people that just has to experience being drunk to understand why people enjoy it so much. Just remember, when the juice starts tasting REALLY GOOD (you'll know what I mean), try not to overdo it. At that point it's best to stop and just enjoy yourselves, and perhaps drink some water.

I enjoy harder liquor (vodka, rum, whiskey, etc) because it takes less liquid to get drunk, and that's really all it's about. Some people like beer because it's just about the closest thing to water you can get, and you can easily pace yourself to get to the exact level of "drunk" that you find most pleasant.

I wish you well on your adventures. ^_^

99 bananas is horrible. It smells good but jesus christ ;( I put it in fruit punch though as well as straight shots, maybe thats why.

Personally, Captain and Coke or Soco and Lime are pretty decent. There isnt really any alcohol that tastes any good at all, some are passable like schnapps but eh.

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

Pretty much this ~
Take a decent sized glass and put about a shot of vodka in it (depending on the size of the glass) and you will barely be able to taste it.

1 shot = 1 beer~ Serving
So the more juice you mix with the shot, the less you will taste

haha yeah, I did that a few years ago and I just layed on a couch for the whole party, I thought I was going to burn up

Going to have the 151 w/ Dr Pepper, seems to be my favorite liquid, excluding TL
