Who else has never tasted beer? And never wants to?
I don't drink any alcohol at all, but have tried a few alcoholic beverages in my life. I have never had a beer and have never wanted one. It STINKS - how can people drink it?

(I think I've posted this before, but am addlebrained, so who the hell knows?)

2. It's kind of like liquid bread


Do you drink coffee?

3. Not much
Hot tea with milk is our preferred drink in this house. I only drink coffee occasionally at a restaurant.

4. Bad beer smells nasty... but there are beers out there that don't.
I went through all of college never liking beer. Everyone kept telling me 'it's an acquired taste'. It is a little... but you just have to find a beer that doesn't smell and taste like piss so you can drink it enough to acquire the taste in the first place. :P

10. I never had it until I was about 35
Now I very rarely will have one. I think the smell was why I never wanted any, it smells gross.

I never drank at all until I was 23 or 24, then I had a little crazy spell :crazy: :blush:

11. IMHO, I think beer is too rich and diverse to dismiss after a sniff or two.
There are pilsners, lagers, ales, hefe-weissens, lambics, koelsch, stouts, and porters, to name a few. Some marry well with fruit flavors (such as wheat beers), some are hoppy and bitter with a floral aroma, some are made from roasted grains and have a deeper, richer flavor. I think if you went to a beer tasting event featuring some good microbrews you might find something you really like. :)

12. Nope - I don't touch any alcohol
My sister's always trying to get me to have a glass of wine, but I won't do it, I tell you!

13. Well, I can't recommend any good NA beers.
There are maybe one or two palatable ones, but nothing that can turn a tee-totaler into a beer lover. :P

14. There was a time when I shared your sentiment
It's cliche, but you really do acquire a taste for it.
