    With an exception of this one incident, I've never really took a sip of wine or beer and don't see why people like it so much. I think it smells and tastes bad, and prefer soda anyday(I don't drink it much anymore). Can someone tell me why it's so good?

    It's an acquired taste, your taste buds change as you get older. It also depends on the kind of beer or wine you had. If you drank some cheap Budweiser or generic brand, then it probably tasted like crap.

    Wine makes your food taste better.

    I like to consider myself a bit of a "Beer Connoisseur", having tried many different Beers from around the world.

    I have to say the best is Tui (which is a New Zealand beer, very nice) followed closely by Budweiser. I'm also a big fan of LaBatt Blue from Canada. But when I go out, I usually drink Carona and/or Crown or Tooheys Extra Dry.

    Australian Beer is very overated.

    Ah. Well, the only time I had it was by accident. At the dinner table, I was sitting next to my dad and he had his beer poured on to his glass, which was sitting next to my sprite. When I took my glass in the kitchen for more sprite, I accidently took his glass and poured sprite in it, so it a mixture of sprite and beer. Lol, I took it back, and noticed it was bubbly as hell, but still drank it. That's when I noticed I took my dad's glass. [​IMG]

    Oh well.

    I've never really liked the taste of beer. Lakeports (dollar beer in Canada), Budwiser, Canadian, Heinekin, Colt45, Stella, it didn't matter for me.

    I actually like diluted white wine I think. While I think red wine has a stronger and more bitter flavour.

    Alcohol does help with digestion apparently, and might be useful for sanitizing water (not a problem today).

    Labatt is pretty bad IMO.

    I personally like some Keith's or Stella. Heineken is good too.

    Lol I was at a bar this summer, and I thought it was pretty bland. We spent an hour or so singing along to the songs, drinking, and watching this middle-aged couple get at it pretty heavily at the table across from us. The guy even had his pants down the woman's pants...

    On second thought, yeah. That'll be sweet lol.

    On the subject, never tasted alcohol in my life and I never will.

    I thought I would never smoke/drink back in elementary-middle school...damn.

    I became an avid drinker for 2-3 weeks when I was in 10th grade during the summer. There was a lot of beer/wine left over from a 4th of July barbecue at my friends, and his parents left out of town for a week 2 days later. He called us up and at first I wanted to "stay true to the weed"...saying that and things like "weed is all I need," but I decided to give drinking a shot. At first I hated the taste, but continued to drink because I wanted to get drunk. After getting drunk and throwing up for 5 straight days, I got used to the taste and began to crave it during the evenings. Well his parents got home 2 days later and that was the end of my 'addictive drinking' experience, thank god.

    If you go to clubs, get tipsy/buzzed so you can loosen up and dance. If your at a party to dance, then do the same, I don't know why you would. But if you are at a party to get laid then focus on getting the girl drunk.

    ^Only times I use beer nowadays.

    Anyone esle think smoking weed (dro) is better than beer? If I was still in high school I would still be doing it.

    Oh yea, Tobbacco is wakko. Just say no to Tobbacco. [​IMG]

    Really? Why not? I mean if you drink responsibly, and can handle alcohol (such as myself [​IMG]) then you should have nothing to worry or stop you.

    What a coincidence, i'm finished right now. I thought pretty much every9ne around 17-18 drank. Anyways, alchols not really about the taste. You put up with the taste in order to get ham'd until you get used to it.

    It's very much about the taste, maybe not at 16-17, but as you get older you'll learn to appreciate it.

    I can't seem to drink beer anymore. It was fine when I first started drinking, but now even a little makes me want to throw up. Guinness and similar stouts are the only things I can stand.

    Liquor tastes better, anyway.

    Umm, I like beer. It tastes great, escpecially with junk food etc.

    It's the best drink when you want to have some good time with friends.

    But when I want a real party - Vodka, rum, wine etc.
