If I'm not the one who's driving after the party, I drink at least 3 bottles in a party. I can go well into a 4th or 5th bottle if it gets pretty extreme. It takes me at least 3 bottles to feel drunk at all.

I tried it too, and liked it a lot, in a weird way. It did taste pretty bitter, but still complimented my taste.

The worst part would be the effort you'd have to put in and the inconvenience. If you're retired and can afford to home brew, then it could be a fun hobby. But if you have a job and everything, going out and buying a pack is the best option for most.

The obvious answer would be to try different ones. But what you should do is pick a random one at the bar every time you're there. Drink it slowly and try to feel the taste as much as you can instead of gulping it all in at once. Slowly, you'll start recognizing them. Yes, it'll take time...

I'm usually ready for both, and wouldn't leave a bottle empty if I was given some! Sometimes, I do prefer the darker composition of ale. Like you said, they taste a little bitter, like dark chocolate. Most of my friends here prefer lager, but not me! In spite of my preference, I still love lager...

Until now, I've only been into beer and wine. I'm thinking of exploring more variety, and I've decided to start with bourbon! One question I'd like to ask is: how is a bourbon generally different from other drinks? It's not very common where I live. Also, some brand suggestions would be...

It did sound weird when I we first heard of it but it does taste very nice! I still drink beer occasionally by mixing it with cold drinks. Generally, it does ruin the taste of beer a bit, but can taste much better if the beer is a strong, special one.

Sounds great! I prefer pizza and some cold drinks with beer, some music and friends. We used to do this occasionally, my friends and I, and those were the best days of my lifre!

Wine is good for first timers, as most people here are suggesting, but I think you should go for beer first. It's readily available, is cheaper and very tolerable too! I started alcohol through beer too, and it's still my favorite type! (I know, don't hate me, I just prefer it)

I would put myself in "2-3 days per month". I don't have a regular drinking schedule, but I only drink on occasions or in parties. I'm a beer guy, and mostly drink only beer if its available. Also, if there's something to celebrate, I'm all up for it!
