  • Beer tasted like shit
     OP - November 14, 2009, 02:43 AM
    So I decided to break the taboo today and take a sip of the Haram liquid, my friend had a beer, tried it and it tasted like shit. What's the big deal with it? Is the after-effect really that good that someone has to torment him/herself into drinking that thing in order to achieve it?

    I think beer tastes like piss.  If you want to get your swerve on, try something harder.

    I hate beer too. Stick to wine, spirits and cocktails. In fact start with cocktails they are yummy. I have a friend who recently became less religious, though stubbornly insists he's a Muslim, he tried beer, hated it and hasn't touched alcohol since. So we went out and I got him mashed on mojitos.

    Hey Jack!  Gotta agree with you on this one!

    Personally I prefer getting high to getting drunk but I do like a good glass of wine or a double vodka with lemonade!  grin12

    lol... yes, but you do develop a taste for it. I remember tasting Guinness a long time ago and couldn't believe any drink could taste so horrible. I love it now. I prefer bitter/ale like Fullers ESB though.

    Don't see it in many pubs round here, but like it when I've had it on draught. Didn't much like the bottled variety - but that's true of most beers.

    I drink therefore I am


    A good brewed wheat beer is my favourite. When I was 10-1 years old my parents let me taste beer for the first time, and right in that moment I swore that I would never drink that shit again. Well I did not keep that promise. I came to enjoy it, quite a lot.

    Interesting ideas, so beer is a matter of getting used to, I don't think I'll ever get into it though. cuz I'm a sucker for a good taste. I understand cocktails taste good, my friend told me wine does too. I'll see what I could try.

    Also just so I don't have a terrible experience with my first time, what precautions would you guys recommend, like how much, which type, etc?

    yes, but beware, alcopops are 110% sugar! Tongue

    Try Leffe, the Belgium beer, it's nice and sweet.

    I personally don't like beer ... or even drinking alcohol in general to be honest. It's just not for my mind. It does me more harm than good. I think perhaps this is the reason why beer is socially not accepted in south asian countries.

    I abstain from recreational drugs. It's not a moral issue for me - I'm just uncomfortable with the idea of having my perception chemically altered for fun. I prefer to be in full control of my body at all times. Besides, I've sipped alcohol as a child, and it really does taste like shit. Ultimately, even in moderation, drugs become a weakness, and I have enough of those already.

    Is it because of this, or is it because the prophet didnt want people praying whilst pissed, so he decided to ban it?

    I never liked beer, I prefer cocktails (try rum & coke it's simple and good), or fruity drinks (margaritas, daiquiris etc.) or wine.

    Your control is an illusion. Wink Varying levels of different neurotransmitters and other compounds are constantly chemically altering your perception, whether you are aware of it or not. If you want control, choose which compounds are going to make the alterations and take enough of them to swamp out the random ones. bunny

    I used to think wine tasted like crap till I found out how they are made, and the types. And don't believe the story hat red is for beef and white is for chicken and fish, that is BS, it just happen that more types of red are good for beef than white.

    Erm, yes Baal, and 'more types' of white are 'good' for fish and fowl. That's why people do it it, it's not a 'story'. How did know ing how something was made improve it's taste for you? You should really become a wine writer Cheesy
