What's with all this "Holier than thou" crap when it comes to drinking? Why must people always turn their noses up at people who prefer a "inferior brew"? With several years of college under my belt, during which I've been known to put back a few , I've come to this conclusion: All beer tastes like crap, some of it worse than others. I've never "acquired a taste for it" as some said I would. I feel no embarassment when I drink a Mike's Hard Lemonade, Smirnof Ice, or the ever-cheap Natural Light. Do this for me, go drink a pale ale of practically any brand. Now, go get an asprin and suck on it. Can you taste the difference? I sure can't. Beer was invented with one purpose in mind: To get you wasted while socializing with your peers. Nothing more, nothing less. And another thing, I'm sick of all these "rules" that people have. Stupid things like:
"Dude, you have to finish that beer! You can't pour it out." News Flash: It's just a friggin beer! I'm gonna do with it as I please.
"Anyone accidentally opening another beer, before finishing their current beer, is cut off." Bite me, it got warm. Warm beer is worse than spoiled milk.
"Forgetting where you left your beer is only forgiven if you don't break the "5 second rule." Remember where it is in 5 seconds or less and you may continue to indulge." What are you gonna do, take my beer away from me? Go ahead and try it.
My dad always want me to "knock one back with him". I always say, no thanks and he wants to know why I'll drink with my friends but not him. I tell him I drink to get wasted, not because I like it. If he wants to do shots, I'm all for it. At this point, my mom makes that "Like hell you are" face ever since we made asses out of ourselves at the last wedding we attended.
When I go out with friends to bars, they always ask me why I'm not drinking. Let's see here: $3 for one beer, plus $1 tip = $4 for a drink I won't even enjoy. Shots are even more expensive. Plus, I have to drive myself home, and I'm sure as hell not doing that under the influence.
Don't even get me started on the unlimited variety of rules of drinking games and the arguements that evolve from the drunk bastards that won't let **** go.
In parting I say this to you:
"Dude, it's just a beer."
Peace
