I'll drink a beer on occasion but, I prefer the hard stuff to normal beer. The only thing I can understand is. If someone drinks beer why do they drink the shit that tastes like piss. They drink the stuff that looks and tastes like piss and yet scoff when you set down with a Lager or a Dark Ale.
If I have to buy beer, I don't buy it for the taste because its rare that I can get a good tasting beer that I can get drunk off of. I go for the highest alcohol content and hope for the best. If someone else has it and offers, I'll take it if I don't have anything else or because I constantly require something to drink, alcoholic or not.
For me, a "beer" is a meal drink. I'll head to a local pub, watch a game (rugby, American or Euro football, baseball), order a philly cheesesteak or some similar sandwich and order a pint. So I drink "beer" based on taste. If I want something harder I reach for rum, etc.
Though I don't drink to get drunk (I put myself at that line). Since knowing myself I am probably a violent or emotional drunk. So its a state I avoid. I enjoy drinking though and I'm confident I can hold my weight with many a vet.
