Why do people pretend to like beer?

Why do people pretend to like beer?
It's literally just shitty fermented bread tea loaded with neurotoxins.

I've tried enough beer to know that it all tastes pretty much the same, with varying bitterness. Some also have underlying tastes, but it's like trying to taste a peanut in a pile of shit.

The same goes for red wine.

Liquors have legitimately varying tastes, as do certain wines.

I like it because its cheaper than whiskey and makes me drunk happy.

That's how sales work. Literally one bottle of whiskey is as low as $6. Average is like 90 proof. To get drunk off beer, you'd need like 6 beers considering highest is 8% abv, or 16 proof, and beers are tiny.

Whiskey tastes like ass though, as does anything over 30 proof.

Seriously? What don't you like, the burn and/or alcohol taste? It's so easily negated.

An idea is gin and water/tonic/coke/anything. All that's left is the remnant juniper taste, but even that can be killed with the right stuff. All the alcohol content, none of the taste.

Spiced rum is good if you don't mind a shit ton of flavour. I never notice the alcohol taste with it.

As for whiskey, try one or two other brands. It's weirdly varied. Far more than beer. I'm sure other liquors have that kind of variety (rum definitely does), but I've experimented most with whiskeys.

Sorry. Shouldn't post right now. Tired and slightly too drunk.

it tastes ok and it makes me drunk so i like it
and they have nice can art so its cool
been drinking a lot of otra vez recently its super tasty desu

It goes nice with some foods. I wouldn't drink it on its own.

Go to bed Randall

2 cans is enough to make me happy

It's more about comfy drinking. Low abv. alcohol can be sipped with pleasure when you get used to it.

High abv. still causes some form of rejection. For some people it seems to be stronger than others. Maybe It's tastebud related.

beer is the same as coffee
drunkenness is placebo and so is caffeine

>I've tried enough beer to know that it tastes pretty much the same
Objectively false

being drunk is fun. now let me fondle your tits

I've tried like 60 brands, and sampled a few from each.

I don't just arbitrarily claim shit. I do my research first-hand.

>why do people """"pretend"""" to like X
fucking kill yourself

The weird thing is any stronger alcohol tastes better and you can just sip it without bloating your stomach.
Sure beer is good with food as you wont get piss drunk just from clearing your mouth with it, but on its own its just pointless.

>Why do people pretend to like bread? It's literally shitty fermented flour goo.

Just 60 different lagers and ipa it sounds like. You'd notice the difference if you started drinking wheat beers, stouts, sour beers, trappist beers and so on. Things that actually taste like something.

Yanks

>pretend to like beer
i really, really wish i didn't like beer so much. i'm not pretending. if i was pretending i wouldn't spend half of every day miserable and the other half oblivious to the outside world.

The first sip always calms my nerves, I love the act of popping a beer open and drinking it, I love the smell and the flavor, even cheap malt liquor. It's the same reason potheads love the smell of good weed and non smokers hate it.

At this point I'm just doing anything I can to feel a reprieve from the constant sadness and lethargy that is now my life.

Get fucked animu fag.

What else would you drink in a pub? You can't order wine. Everyone would think you're a homosexual. Or worse, French.

I'm not about to lay all my troubles on everyone else here but I dont drink for the taste. thats why i make kilju every second day in my garage to get pissfaced. its perfect. if I really want a flavor sensation I put some cordial in it, and if "friends" are coming over I soak fruit in it to make jungle juice

What about cocktails or simple drinks?

Not really a fan of sweet alcohol. Beer is a long drink so you don't get drunk too fast. There are some nice ones, but really hoppy beer gives me terrible headaches the next day.
That said, a good bloody Mary is amazing

>They don't drink real ale

Peer pressure and the fact that they're drunk

I dunno if it's actually alcohol. Gin, whiskey, and rum are all way worse than vodka.

There is an incredible variety of flavor in beer, especially between different styles.

this is bait
you are worng
you are reddit
you are newfag
you are underageb&
go back to gaia
remove thoses cocks from your mouth
stop looking at child pornography
stop interacting with zoophiles
stop fapping
get out of your guardian's basement
get a job
get a life
seek sunlight
get a clue
off yourself

I like the fact that you can chug it
I like that you don't have to mix it with anything "i.e. cheap vodka or whiskey or gin"
I like the fact that you can have a beer in the afternoon and not get drunk
I like the taste
I like the carbonation

It's too easy to get carried away and drink too much liquor. With beer the volume of what you're drinking moderates the amount you can consume. It also tastes better and won't rot your guts quite so bad.

Porter, stout, pilsner, lager, pale ale, brown ale, american lager, and pale lager.

Can't say I tasted much of a difference between any of them, even between the sixty brands.

I will concede that I have not tried trappist, wheat, or anything OTHER than what I listed, but I can't say I have high hopes.

>o b s e s s e d
Born and raised English, lad. Moved to the States around 2011.

That's just weird. A rich stout can't possibly be confused with a Czech lager which is hard to confuse with a trappist, which is impossible to confuse with a sour beer.

But I guess it's not for everyone.

I got banned for posting this pic once.

If you couldn't tell the difference between a stout and a pale you are literally taste retarded, on top of just being regularly retarded.

same here
beer all tastes about the same
if you act like it has different flavors you're a hipster IPA sipping faggot

Do you have some sort of weird sensory condition?
I've met people who are stupid sensitive to certain tastes, to the point where it overwhelms everything else.

I bet you hate the taste of raw onions too. You fucking faggot.

I have a few friends who refuse to drink and they're generally a real drag when we go out anywhere, I don't know who keeps inviting them.
They also watch anime.
Coincidence?

Yeah they're an anime loving faggot who'd rather be drunk on your cock instead

I used to love anime
After I discovered alcohol it suddenly seemed really inane

I watch anime and I drink too much, I think we're onto something here.
