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 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.
Well, if you ever tried uncarbonated piss, I’m sure you’d come to appreciate beer more.
I mean fundamentaly your question is "Why do people have different preferences? " and I think that’s a very interesting question, with philosophical as well as economic implications.
All we can say for sure is that individuals do indeed seem to have different preference, without clear criteria across individual people.
For example, if Jill has the opportunity to purchase either wine or beer, and both are the same price, same alcohol content, same social implications etc, we have no way to predict which Jill will choose based on the information available in the world outside of Jill consciousness.
However Jill herself may have an obvious and consistent preference, and I’m not sure anyone fundamentally knows the reason for that, other than Jill thinks wine tastes better.
Tastes nice to me. Different taste innit
If it tastes like piss then you’re drinking the wrong beer.
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.
Extremely hot take: it’s toxic masculinity. Bitter alcoholic drinks are associated with masculinity and sweet ones with femininity, and femininity is denigrated.
That’s right. Proof: women never drink beer. Literally never. Checkmate, beer drinkers.
(this is sarcasm)
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”.
I’d you can’t get drunk off beer is probably time to lay off the sauce for a while.
