I tolerated Beer because one of my ex b/f's said that as an
adult, I HAVE to drink alcohol.
Ah Beng (not his real name) also claimed that
it was more 'economical' to share a jug of beer whenever we went to
the pubs.
And because beer IS bitter as all
hell, I used to make a face drinking it, but he'd grumble about it
and I had to kinda tolerate it without wincing and making
faces.
Which got me thinking, WHY the hell would
anyone drink something so unpleasant? 
Now that I'm here in Alcohol Paradise, I did try two or three
bottles of 'light' / fruity beer, but I think the foregone
conclusion is, I dislike beer. All beer.
At my age, I no longer feel the need to try
to appear cool by pretending I like it. So, here it is - I
dislike it, always have, and always will. 
Wine... I only like Choya. And even then, I rarely, if
ever, drink Choya neat. It's always 30-45 mls mixed in a
whole lotta goodness-knows-what strikes my fancy that night.
I love my Choya cocktails. But even
then, I love it enough to only have it once to thrice every
quarter. The rest of the time, I simply have no desire
whatsoever to drink any alcohol.
Reds I like, but I've never ever had my own bottle of Red.
White, I don't like because it's too strong and dry for
me.
I'm waiting for the alcohol joint near my place to sell the
miniature set of Absolut Vodka again because I'd love to take one
swig of it, but I imagine it'll be too strong and dry for me and
I'd probably have to make a cocktail out of it.
So yeah... when it comes to Wine Appreciation, I rank first...
from the bottom!
