Really? I mean really? Was that really necessary? I know you're joking, but seriously. This is the sacrament we're talking about.
I suppose I just feel that strongly about the taste. If it was offensive, my apologies.

Maybe. They're both acquired tastes I'm sure but neither of them are a road I wanna take if for no other reason than they're just horrible tasting. With beer though it seems the taste varies quite a bit, wine seems largely the same. Then again, I don't have a whole lot of experience with it.
He is right and he is right? They cannot both be right!
Heh, actually it turns out that urine tastes remarkably like beer. And there exists a considerable faction of people who claim that a glass a day is the key to a long and healthy life.

Many people like the taste. I've only had one bottle of beer in my life, but I found it to be very, very good. It's not like the first drink is terrible and you have to build up an immunity to it like some sort of iocane powder. I'm not advocating drinking (in fact, I would advocate the opposite), but I just want to dispel the myth that people who imbibe alcoholic beverages can not be doing so for their genuine enjoyment of the taste.

Maybe you just got lucky or something. In my rather uh...extensive experience in the past with alcohol I hadn't found a beer or wine that was even remotely worth drinking, not for taste anyway. Just out of curiosity, what was it that you drank?
I haven't had beer or wine, but I've smelled both on people's breath (including a whole host of other alcoholic beverages) and I say they're all nasty.

Molson Ice, I believe? I didn't look that closely, to be honest. I think I remember seeing 'lager' on the bottle.
I'll agree with you on wine ... I don't personally like it, but I've only had very cheap wine, and some sangria when I was in spain. But that doesn't mean others don't think it tastes quite great. I've never been able to appreciate the taste of coffee, either, but boy do I love a good cup of tea.
