So I just drank beer for the first time

I had beer once. It was the closest thing I had to cow piss. It was high quality stuff too.

absolutly agree with op

you wont feel half a bottle of beer thats hardly anything. if you soldier up and drink 1-2 full ones then you will be able to drink more and it wont bother u. but yes generally it tastes like ass.

I'm with you. I've never liked beer. I've never felt the need to acquire a taste for something I don't enjoy when there's so many things I do enjoy. There are plenty of drinks that taste MUCH better to me that are appropriate for situations where I'm not trying to get drunk and others that are for when I want to get drunk (very rarely).

I also constantly get the advice that I just need to try more beer because there's good stuff out there. I think people fail to realize that the only reason they eventually find something they like is because they keep drinking beer to find something they like. Eventually they stop hating it and find something that's "ok". I've tried several different beers on the recommendation of people that are beer aficionados. The best of them was something I could stand to drink about half a glass of.

ULTRA GAY

I dont know, try apple/pear cider beer- That shit has real flavor. - I tend to lean towards amber beers myself but i can see why people dont enjoy the flavor. There are a couple of local breweries near my place so its not too often i have "bad" beer.

really? I would take beer over the wine any time

really u started with beer? i mean u must try vodka, whiskey, or real stuff.. not beer doesnt make u drunk, it makes u fat, and is beer.. well the only beer i really enjoy is Corona but i prefer stronger stuff! u can try wine too it's easy to drink and makes u tipsy and it's good! haha

and btw 20 years old for the first drink it's really old.. i mean my first time was when i was 14-15, i feel like a misfit haha x)

i don't like beers and when i see people admiring beers i think "jesus look those idiots making the shareholders even more rich and helping create even more crap marketing to brainwash people"

vodka with cranberry juice

"People other than me like things I don't like, so it must be overrated!"

...........

I hate beer too. Tastes like shit, smells like shit and makes me feel like shit.

I feel like this entirely depends on which beer you tried. If you tried Bud Light or something then yeah, beer's pretty gross. But there are plenty of excellent beers out there! I used to be of the same opinion as you are until I branched out; now I have a beer drawer in my fridge. :) Don't be afraid to keep trying new things.

if u want a buzz stick to liqour

Same here, only taken one zip and it was enough. Fizzy piss.

what did you drank? Budweiser?, because taht IS shit.

"Wine and Champagne is much better IMO even though I think alcohol overall is overrated as hell."

2/10 at least you have a mind of yourself, keep using those experience points to upgrade it ;D

I love how almost everyone in this thread is discussing beer, and yet is American, which pretty much disqualifies you from any discussion about beer because you don't have any in your country.

You probably misunderstood there

Well - you don't have to like drinking. It isn't good for you etc. but I'd also say - that'd be like me playing BRINK, not liking it and just being like "Well, I guess I hate video games."

Alcoholic beverages are so incredibly different it would make your head spin. (Alcohol jokes!) Even just 'beer' has so many thousands if not millions of iterations that trying just 1 is a super useless sample size. A lot of people I've met didn't like dark beers to start off with, so I'd start with a lighter beer, or maybe a mid-range Hefeweizen sort of thing. Move on from there.

(And again - if you don't like it, just don't do it. You shouldn't have to defend NOT drinking.)

If you got an American Beer then yeah, it sucks. Americans mostly promote "Light" beer... WHO DRINKS "LIGHT" BEER?!?!?!?! When I tried beer for the 1st time I didn't liked it. But after trying many and different beers I found beers that I enjoyed and really liked. Favorite one? Beelzebub. Try and taste many different ones and develop your taste before saying that all are bad. (PS: 20 before drinking beer??? Wow... really old to try beer O.o )

Oh man, I really got try this thing you guys call 'Alcohol' some time! It sounds wicked!( a.k.a. terrible )

How can you say that! look at this beauty: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Guinness.jpg/220px-Guinness.jpg

Lol this was exactly what I thought when I tasted beer for the first time... since then I have found that I do somewhat enjoy a few varieties of beer but for the most part it is pretty nasty tasting.
