its literally just carbonated piss and you cant even get drunk off it. and i say this as a german, who’s been trying both ‘good’ and bad beer since 16 years old.
I never liked beer, growing up. That being said, I never cared for liquor either. I cannot stand the bitterness, or the heavy carbonation.
I tried all sorts of good beers, bad beers, etc and simply never understood the point. I had/have no desire to be drunk or in any sort of altered mood, so there was no incentive for me.
In recent years (idk maybe because I’m getting old lol) I started to casually try beer here and there with friends and such, at outtings and such.
What I discovered is I do not like “beer” as a whole, but there are specific beers I really enjoy. There’s maybe only 2-3 beers out of the hundreds I’ve tried which I find taste good, and actively will enjoy.
If it tastes like piss then you’re drinking the wrong beer.
You can definitely get drunk off of it.
Well, if you ever tried uncarbonated piss, I’m sure you’d come to appreciate beer more.
I’d you can’t get drunk off beer is probably time to lay off the sauce for a while.
I don’t like beer either, but your post sounds more like “you should not like beer” than “why do people like beer” and that’s not very nice.
Extremely hot take: it’s toxic masculinity. Bitter alcoholic drinks are associated with masculinity and sweet ones with femininity, and femininity is denigrated.
Eyes rolling to the back of my head on the idea that beer is “toxic masculinity”. Some people just like bitter flavors. My entire family drinks black coffee, so I always have. Maybe genetic or learned behavior but no one’s trying to prove anything at the breakfast table lol.
Huge fan of good/craft beers (and not just IPAs) so I’m a but defensive on that take. There’s such a wide range of flavors to experience and trying something new is a big part of the enjoyment. Same goes for wine, cheese, or any “luxury” food really.
No, just … No. Ya know, here in the real world, women drink beer too. Plenty of it. Plenty of guys drink sweet spirits too. Some people just like beer bruv, no need to be making this an issue of “toxic masculinity”.
