Is beer an aquired taste? Or are certain people just prone to like it?

It's exactly like coffee, dude.

I don't drink a lot of beer. It makes me all fat, bloated and gassy. Only Guinness when I want to treat myself. Korean lager is fizzy, foul-tasting water IMO.

Whiskey and wine does it for me. They are acquired tastes but once you get it you can really enjoy those drinks. Hundreds of different kinds of whiskey. Thousands of different kinds of wine. The variations are endless. Guys who just automatically choose fizzy lager every time they want to drink alcohol are really missing out. And there are millions of guys like that!

It's hard to say.

I started drinking beer when I was 17, and the only reason was to get drunk. I didn't like it, really, and sipping on a beer was hard to do. I remember once I ate some McDonald's and had a Miller with it, and the taste was so bad I couldn't stand it.

But, I was drinking sh1te beer, too. If I'd started on some Hackerr-Pshor or perhaps some Sam Smith, maybe it would've been more to my liking.

But I think Zyzyfer is probably right. I drink my coffee black now, but it took some getting used to. Now, just about any beer is at least somewhat enjoyable to my tastebuds, too. Probably acquired taste.

Guys, help me out.

For a while now, I have been trying to find some sort of pattern in the subject headings of Cubanlord's posts, but I haven't pinpointed anything thus far.

Can you guys tell from the subject if a post is Cubanlord's? And if you can, what are the characteristics that tip you off?

P.S. I am with Eamo on his assessment(my first pint was a bit of the dark stuff, when I was 6, when my grandpa got me drunk at a family barbecue like one would a dog...), but still find myself knocking the swill back. And can anyone tell the difference between beer and water anymore?

I'd say it's an acquired taste. But for some reason my cat loves the smell of it.
