So I just drank beer for the first time

It depends on where you live and how expensive the beer was :P... 'Murica = shittiest beers ever, Central Europe = Best beers ever

I don't really like beer, though "beer+snacks" combo can be really good depending on which beer and which snacks are involved. If you want to get an adequate image of why do people like beer though, go to some nice beerhouse that has its own brewery, check the source code of this post and get a pint of draught with snacks of your choice. Getting into fight with some drunk bikers is optional yet strongly advised.

You have 20 years and never tried beer before? o.O
Only bad think about beer is the feeling you have the day after you get drunk :D

What beer was it? There is a fine difference between an expensive and a cheap beer

2-4 bottles and you are nicely on the way.

Visit Belgium, no idea what kind of crap you drank.. :p

Alright it seems like the beer I drank was shit after all :D.

You waited 20 years for your 1st beer? Half of that is wasted :P

Also, you probably picked some crappy commercial beer that tastes like piss :P i'd recommend you check some fine Belgian abbaye beers :) my personal favorite is the Abbaye de Bonne Esperance (6€ a bottle here in Italy, but it's worth every cent) :)

Feelling sorry for you right now

Of course it's very important not to try shit beer for the first time, else you'll be generalizing all beer as being bad. BUT, no beer, not even the cheapest one served warm, should make you feel like puking. Maybe there's something wrong with you, like an allergy or something.

mmm, I could do with a beer or two right now.

First beer I ever drank I was very young, did not like the taste that much either. Also, no I did not get even the slightest bit tipsy either. Keep in mind, the beer was Coors.. was my mothers fav brand for some reason. Probably due to it being cheap.

Now the first time I tried champagne was to celebrate the new years for 2000. For my 21st was the first time I tried scotch. ( was a good brand too, forgot its name though. )

Oh and I have tasted various brands of beer.. dislike it in general. Though oddly do not mind scotch. To note its extremely rare for me to drink and I have never gotten drunk even once. Now I did get slightly tipsy once, but that was about it. ( Rare as in I MIGHT drink some one day out of a year, 3 times tops. The time I got tipsy was in 2000.. I drank all but one glass worth of the bottle I mentioned above. )

I don't drink beer because I have to drink at least 4-5 to get a bit drunk, and I don't wanna look like a pregnant women in the mid 30. Most of the time I drink bourbon in small quantities (100-150ml); I also like to drink wine, but I don't like the next morning effect.

WAAAAAAAH MAN DONT TASTE WHAT HE DRINK! MAN JUST TAKE IT! U MADE ME SOOOO MAD!!! GONNA KILL SOME1 ASAP

BTW I'm a wine type as well, if you don't like the "first" type of beer you drank look for other brands/tastes.

Out of curiosity hat brand did you try?

Your topic made me irritated somehow :O Maybe it's because I come from beer nation.. I love beer and don't like vine.. People are different ;-)

It's an acquired taste. I'm fairly sure most people feel the same after their first beer.

But once you get into it, it can be a really great venture. Tasting the multitude of different craft beers, being able to not only tell the differences between styles, but smell and taste the different flavors and layers to each beer.

I'm lucky enough to be near a mart that sells over 700 different types of beer (plus this region has tons of microbrews). I didn't get what the big deal was my first time either, but now I want to try them all.

Edit: And personally, I don't drink beer to get drunk anymore (would have to slam a pitcher for that anyways)... mainly for the taste now. Liquor to get drunk, beer to maintain.

LoL.

Tho I also hate beer . . . and wine too . . . and any alcoholic beverage for that matter.

Was it Preta Docue?

Your a 20 male and haven't drank beer before?... Do you socialise with friends at all?

Tiger is by far the best, soooo good.

This is the best I've ever had: Westvleteren XII
Belgian trappist beer is just too good.

Beer is the best thing created by humans.
