Wine is much much better if you drink it while having a meal or snacking. Wine and cheese parties are my favorite kinds of parties. I gave up red wine though, one time I drank a whole bottle of the stuff and was running around with red lips all night like an idiot too drunk to even realize it. Now I stick to german pinot blanc, it goes down easy and it meshes well with most food.

If you don't like certain types of drinks then don't force yourself to like them. There is a lot of variety out there and it won't hurt to experiment until you find something you're comfortable with. If you like milk I'd recommend Baileys, it's a bit more expensive but it has a rich creamy taste that you would probably like.

I dislike beer, and will only drink it when im already getting to the drunk stage. I prefer Cider, Kopperberg or Magners is my drink of choice. Looking forward to Bulmers summer berry cider that should be comming out soon.

Today I tried some beer yet again. Similar to the last 10 times I consumed some form of alcohol, it tasted awful. Seriously awful.

Let's start with beer. The taste of ethanol aside (more on this below), it is very bitter. Yuck.

Then there is wine. Sourness in drinks is something I am generally OK with, but in combination of ethanol? Yuck.

I never tried anything else before. Presumably it's equally bad.

Ultimately, it's the ethanol. It stings my mouth and my tongue; once it is in my mouth I find it incredibly difficult to get it down my throat. Often I have to mix my drink with apple juice or milk in order to finish it.

However, despite difficulties on every occasion I still try to drink some when I have the chance. Why? Because I am absolutely dumbfounded at why the heck this thing is so popular throughout the world.
Completely agree with everything said. I feel pretty much the same way. It's quite unpleasant, like drinking a cough medicine. My fav. drink is water.

I didn't have any gestation period so to speak with alcohol. I jumped in late nine'th grade totally digging on beer and liqueur, even the cheap crappy stuff. Never understood people who "don't like the taste of beer", even the warmest flattest piss water I've ever drank was still strangely appealing to me. Beer is also ever so gentle on the hangover, a huge advantage I'm sure we all can agree.

Like every other nerd on these forums I didn't go to a party until I was 15, and I didn't drink 'till the fourth party because I didn't want to lose braincells and I was a hardcore straight edge mother fuckers mother fucker. Oh well, you live and learn.

Also agree with you loads Chill. Anyone who professes to have a penis so large that nothing less than two 40's of 8% on an empty stomach gets them buzzed can fuck off thanks.

Lol there was a kid back in the days of school, in 10th he was normal, 11th he was emo, 12th he was all straight edge..It was just so strange. I think he was kinda all deep and emo 11th and drank alot. idk lol, the kid was nuts.

Braincell killing is probably bad, but so is being all anti social, you probably kill more braincells hitting your head off a desk then drinking a beer or 2

I didn't have any gestation period

Isn't that like...a period period..

Close! Exactly.
Wikipedia:
"For mammals the gestation period is the time in which a fetus develops, beginning with fertilization and ending at birth."


In this context It means a growth/evolution. I jumped right in, didn't have to evolve my tastes or grow into them.

Drink a few bottles of bud light with lime. If you've had strong beer recently itll just taste like fizzy lime water and you should feel something after a few of them.

You know what, it happens with me also, and it makes me hungry. Strangely enough pot has neither one of those effects on me.

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.

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapporo_Brewery#Yebisu

Damn, now I crave one...


Dammit, now I do to. And DAMN! Stout on tap, I can never get stout on tap, let alone Yebisu. Kinda sucks when breweries get bought out, they are never the same. Hell, nearly everything is getting bought by Fosters over here, now everything tastes like Carlton Draught. Even Kirin beer is being brewed locally, and reeks of fosters. So I have to go out of my way to check every bottle to see if its imported or not.

Hopefully they sell one at my local asian liquor store.
