So I just drank beer for the first time

Brewing beer is an art, don't give up just because you didn't like your first try, go out there and taste all the flavors!

I'm 20 and I drank beer for the very first time also this year. It tasted like some weird mineral water (no, I'm not American :D ), I felt it, my legs were a bit "free". I've drunk about 25 beers so far, the taste is somewhat better but I can't drink much (only about 4 bears). I've never drunk any alcohol that would taste me, after drinking I don't feel less nervous or so, the effects are only physical. :D

i like beer. though it ain't something special

I played a video game the other day i didnt like it.Why do people play video games?

beer is good...its wine that sucks ass. beer tastes like beer. wine tastes like rotten grape juice. even the "good" wines taste like they've got acetone in it

I think there must be something wrong with you, if the whole world likes beer, except you. I suggest you to make an appointment with your doctor.
Cheers (B)

yeah, beer is complete bollocks

Austrian beer is probably better :P

Though I'm not much of a beer drinker either (the freaking last bit of the beer and also after 3 I can't really drink more), and I also dislike red wine, white wine isn't that bad, but overall who the fuck needs alcohol anyway, I mean I drink it but only because people keep inviting me to drinks I don't really buy them myself xD

And I'm allowed to drink beer for 6 years now (you can drink weak alcohol when you get 16 here).

Considering there are different types of beer (not to mention beers with mead etc., I'm just talking about lagers, ales, stouts...) and you didn't like ONE of them (not to mention the difference in quality - let's say you drank some shit cola for 10 cents, you obviously hated it, so all colas are shit? Come on.), yet you claim it to be the most overrated drink in the world while also having played Black Ops II for over 500 hours...
Anyway, I didn't like my first beer as well. I was... 15 back then and shouldn't be even drinking beer, but that's another thing. Now, that I've tried plenty of small brewery beers or some quality foreign beers (Belgian, for example), I don't like that one particular beer as well, it was shit (Żywiec btw, please don't be butthurt, fellow Poles).
This thread is so attention seeking... well, I fell for it.

It's an acquired taste.

Beer is great, you probably drank some weird american beer.

Come to belgium 250 GOOD beers available :) The brand is very important. what is light (blond) beer or dark(brown) beer. Some examples of good beer: Duvel, Hoegaarden, Chimay, Orval, Westmalle, Kwak, Jupiler, cristal, kriek, Geuze, etc. You can look it up on google just type "Belgian beers". Be careful though most of these beers do have a high alcohol percentage so do not drink to fast or you cant stand :) A friend from the UK came to Belgium ( he drank regularly English beer) and the first time he drank a pint of jupiler ( normal beer but much stronger than that urine beer called heineken) and after that pint he was soo drunk we had to drag him back to his hotel room..

malt liquor and girly drinks are good ;)
also unless your a girl it should take more than 1 beer to feel it.

That's the feeling you get when you drink cheap shit.

Personally I like to get a few beers(3-4) to get startad. After that comes the wine or the vodka. After that a helluve hangover.

I don't really like beer that much (like others said, the majority of what you find is cheap garbage), so I educated myself to enjoy a good whiskey or rum much more than beer.

Champagne is massively over-rated if you ask me.

Some beers are really nice (good English Real Ales, especially bitters are excellent if you ask me) but then there are the cheap shitty beers and lagers (Fosters / Carling / Carlsberg etc.) that are horrendous unless you're already drunk.

The worst alcoholic drink I know? White rum. Or Red Bull Eliminator...

My friend, all alcohol tastes like ass. That is, until you drink enough of it to deaden your taste awareness towards it.

This is why I don't drink. That shit is awful expensive just for an exercise in forced-tolerance. That's good money I could be pooling for my next game! D:

Just drink vodka or something else. wow.

Haha, I am 21 and barely touch it, shit takes like a whores asshole.

Totally not worth all the bathroom breaks, it's amusing to find people get addicted to it :P

Join the club, i find beer (extremely bitter for me) and alcoholic drinks in general to be something a lot more cultural than anything else, kind of like cigarettes.

There are some exceptions however, as always. (a cigar's smell is exquisite, as well as a good wine)

You probably drank some shitty Natty Ice Light crap beer. Go find yourself some quality beer and get back to us. :)

You were drinking shitty beer.

I also don't like beer much but all I had was probably the cheap stuff.
If that amount of beer caused you to feel anything, you are a featherweight.
I agree but you kind of get used it (I still don't like it)
I kind of agree but again, i only had the cheap stuff.
Same here.
ps. I barely even drink.
