Beer (as well as other bitter things) is disgusting. If socially forced to have a beer, I'll put down a Leinenkeugel Honey Weiss or Summer Shandy, but that's about it. However, I'll take a Scotch and Ginger on the rocks any day of the week.

Not all beer is bitter. I can open up new horizons for you in beer land.

I hardly ever drink but I really don't like the taste of beer. I'm more of a fruity drinks guy or something like a shot that I can get over with and get straight to the point of it.

Try a raspberry or cherry lambic. You'll be asking "Is this actually beer?" It is fruity and tasty, but is, in fact, beer.

I actually might do that if I can find any

Speaking of fruit beers, I have a Founders Rübæus sitting here to try. It came in my Beer Exchange case, but I didn't think it was something I should drink before the weather got warm.

I like founders, their IPA is drinkable

I still drink cheap beer. Mostly when I'm out for happy hour or something. Cheap, easy to drink several. When I travel, I make a point to try the local breweries though. I rarely buy beer for the house, which is when I'll buy the better stuff. At home I'm either drinking bourbon/scotch or were working through some red wine. With bourbon/scotch, it's on the rocks. Maybe with a splash of water but if you have anything decent it's a waste to put anything in it other than ice.

Beer is nice when it's a hot day.

It doesn't make for a good social drink though, and I think it gets you drunk in a different way to spirits.

Not sure if there is any science in that or it's just my imagination, but from my own experience when I get drunk on beer I slur my words and act like a dumb idiot.

Whereas when I drink whiskey I just become calm and cool.

When I mix...well, I just shouldn't. Nor should anyone.

Oh, and I have my whiskey with lemonade, because I have at least a little sympathy for my liver.

Not sure if this topic was originally supposed to be about alcohol preferences, but I saw other people doing it and figured what the hell.

It is definitely a warm weather beer. It is very raspberry, but nice for warm weather. Not quite lambic sweet levels, but still nice if you like fruit beer.

I definitely prefer hard liquor for the most part, except if it's a hot day like Wikey said

Sprecher Black Bavarian is probably my favorite, that or New Glarus Spotted Cow. Summer Shandy's pretty great on hot days too

I like gin

I like gin

Ah, last summer was the summer of gin and tonic. There's not much more refreshing. Ever had a jack Rudy and gin? They call it the "best damn gin and tonic" at one of my local spots. I have a bottle of jack Rudy to make G&Ts at home. So good.
