Can't stand the taste of beer, and I don't see the point of getting drunk or anything. I prefer Cider, or JD on the odd occassion.

Taste, the effect is an added bonus

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Ask yourself this then.


Would you drink non alcoholic beer? There's such a thing, if you're not into getting drunk then drink that.

There's probably nice ones if you look hard enough.

Find a non alcoholic beer forum. For the lulz. Then ask what's best.

I hate the taste of beer, if I drink it, it's to get pissed.

If I'm the driver that night and us fella's are off out I tend to drink coke as it tastes better than non alcho beer.  If I want non alcho cider (I dont drink normal beer, just cider) then apple juice it is.

I'm lucky to the extent I can still have a good night on just coke but you don't get the regrets the next morning which is something I enjoy.  Even though I know I can have a good night it is just about always guaranteed when I'm smashed.

It took several years to acquire a taste for beer. In my twenties, I drank beer for the effects, now I appreciate the tastes. I leave hard liquour for the effects.

Beer is fucking revolting, in my opinion. And "good beer" is even worse. It's like drinking diluted shit, whereas cheap beer is more just like bad water.
I can only drink hard alcohol... beer is just fucking disgusting.
QFT. I can understand people having different tastes, but this shit is so nasty that I believe beer is the emperor's new clothes.

I'd say both.  I buy what I think tastes good and a little buzz is relaxing.

I don't like the taste, while I do drink, so that means I am more after the effects than the taste.

I actually kinda thought the same thing, as the word "small" could carry a condescending connotation. And I adore assonance and alliteration alike.
I see what you did there.


But really, you guys don't like beer? I never did until I browsed around and tried different stuff and found what I liked. I'm sure there's bound to be something out there you like. I hated beer for the longest time because all I would have was Corona, Bud Light, Miller Lite.  Lately I've been into Newcastle, that stuff is great (technically ale I suppose). Amstel light is also good.
I actually just tried Newcastle. I'll admit it was better than most beers... but still like sipping on rot-water.
To each their own... I don't hate people for liking beer, I just personally hate it. And I'll keep trying it... (mostly out of ease-of-access ) so someday I may begin to like it.

Same here.

Although, it's hard to say if i'd drink some of the beers I like, if they had no alcohol.

My Girlfriend, however, LOVES the taste of beer.  The alcohol is merely an added bonus for her.


I'm more of a liquor drinker myself, but there are times, where a good beer is fine too.
