I never really drank beer in the first place.

I'm kind of an odd case. I never had a sip of alcohol until I was about 25. My brother in law finally convinced me to try a beer...and it tasted even worse than I expected (it was Budweiser, after all). After that I did finally find that I like Sam Adams and Corona. That's the extent of my beer appreciation. Then I finally tried a few liquors. I can't drink any of them straight, but I like both rum and bourbon mixed with Coke or ginger ale. I'll also drink a margarita from time to time.

Now I have been diagnosed with Celiac disease, so beer is out the window (no loss as far as I'm concerned). Now bourbon and coke is pretty much what I normally haveand it's pretty weak on bourbon and heavy on Coke.

Edit: I've never even tried wine. I can't get a glass of it close enough to my face to even try a sip. It smells revolting to me.

Never acquired the taste for wine, either. -- Tafkam Hokie 04/12/2019 4:52PM

You can have wine with dinner, wine w/o dinner*, but not dinner w/o wine. -- PhotoHokieNC 04/12/2019 4:41PM
