So I just drank beer for the first time

We did the math and came to a conclusion.

I want a conversation between Eanan and MikeJ777. Discuss.

You're not supposed to feel beer after half a bottle or so. It's the kind of thing you can drink a few bottles/pints of and enjoy the taste before you start feeling it.

What kind of beer was it? I like German wheat beers, but I hate malt beer.

Please don't write all beers off because of the taste of just one. Try a few other varieties first, there might be one that you like.

So, what do american beer and sex on a canoe have in common?
Answer: they are both fucking close to water...
:D :D badumm tzzzzz

Here is the thing about beer... If you drink anything from the Miller Brewing Co. Anheiser Busch, or Coors Brewing Co, and/or any of their affiliates, you arnt really drinking beer. Most of those are about 3.4 to maybe 4% alcohol, wine is more than double that, and they mostly taste like trash can water. So, dont give up on beer, try many different kinds. I admit, it is an aquired taste but for whatever reason it grows on u.
Try something hopy, try something dark, try something light, fruity, heck i know a company that makes a beer that 50% wine. Ive seen them made from pumpkins, melons, grass, leaves, so many hops your head wants to melt off ive had over 60 types beers to this date, and not 1 of them tasted like the last some good some bad... just keep looking

The funny thing about getting drunk, when everyone is telling the truth, is that you can easily get them to confess "you know, man, I don't really LIKE beer, but everyone's drinking it and it's cheap".

There are very few beer lovers in this world. The majority is just trying to look cool and blend in.

Drink what you like and preferably drink only to get drunk, only occasionally. Otherwise it's a habit, and there's a thin line between habit and abuse.

I used to hate taste of beer when i was 14, now when i'm 18 it tastes good. Idk, maybe you have to be mature enough to drink it with pleasure ;)

I think this is how it goes - if your first alcohol is wine/champagne, you're more likely to hate beer (I'm one of these people).

If you have beer as your first liquor, then you'll generally stick with it.

And if you have hard liquor/spirits first...I dunno.

WTF you are 20 and you drink beer for the FIRST time?

I don't really like the taste of most beer but it gives a hell of a good buzz, much better than wine or spirits.
And yeah I need at least two and a half litres of it to get a slight buzz so half a bottle won't do justice :)

Don't like the taste of beer? Don't drink beer. It's as simple as that.
Feel sad about not liking the taste of beer? Try different beer (there's more variety than wines, really) and see if there's something you like. People who usually detest beer have said mead is something they've really enjoyed (while not exactly beer, it's close to it), but depending on your location it might be a bit hard to come by.

Not even the slightest buzz effect after drinking half of the bottle
Do you weigh 100lbs or something that you expect to get tipsy off half a bottle of beer? Especially if it was traditional "american" beer, which has about 25% of the alcohol content of wine.

I officially give this title to beer - the most overrated thing on the planet.
Dumbest statement I've heard all day, congratulations. You are not the planet.

Wait... isn't Skyrim the most overrated thing on the planet? ;p

Sorry, what? I guess to each their own, but if you're drinking alcoholic beverages "for the buzz", you might be doing it wrong. You should definitely try judging them on their flavor, taste, and body.

Personally, I think a cold beer is one of the most palatable and refreshing drinks you can have, especially during a hot summer day.

In any case, you might try a few types, and see which one fits your taste -if any. If you had a stout, you might want to try a lager or ale. However, in no way are you obligated to like beer, or alcohol in general. If it turns out you don't, more power to you.

Sample size.

Maybe it's because you are not used to beer so that's why it tastes bad. Also there are many kinds of beer.

Pd: I have never drink beer.

i tend to agree with you actually. I've tried but i honestly haven't "acquired" the taste for beer yet. I always feel like puking (just from the taste alone) after having some beer.

Maybe some of u guys can give me some advice / good beers for a novice?

It really is the most overrated thing on the planet.

Tastes like urine. I don't think that all alcohol is bad-tasting, but beer really does nothing for me.

As someone mentioned, when drinking for getting "dizzy" then you're doing it wrong, it's probably fastest way to actual alcoholism. Second thing is that I don't think you're drinking Champagne, probably just some cheap sparkling wine, since Champagne is specific sparkling wine made in Champagne region of France (30 dollars per bottle of questionable quality).

Just drink vodka.

try Miller best beer ever

Cool. I will avoid alcohol for the rest of my life and never consume it willingly. Water, milkshakes and Diet Coke are good enough for a lifetime anyway.

I don't like it either, and I drink it often. I don't mind drinking it with friends, but when I'm alone, I'd rather drink water than normal beer. I don't like the taste of it at all. However, I love those flavored beer things, with lemon juice, grapefruit, berry and such. I'd rather drink 15 radler beers than 5 real beers.

The taste also varies alot from brand to brand.
