BEER is the best form of alcohol. i'm convinced people that think they don't like beer have not yet tried a legitimately good one. actually most that do like beer still probably havent had a really good craft brew (sam adams, corona, asahi, and the like ARE NOT good beers).
beer is not just for drinking games. believe it or not, good beers actually DO taste good and can compliment a meal quite nicely. i think what draws me to beer is the diversity; it's something different every time. my introduction to amazing beer was when we drove down to san diego to Stone's brewery to try their newly released (it was aged 2 years) 2006 Russian Imperial Stout. it was like silky, creamy chocolate coffee in my mouth, firing off what must have been every pleasure center in my brain. the scent of the beer up and filled my nostrils for a good hour and a half or so reminding me exactly how that first taste felt. i thought it couldnt get better. then i tried Russian River's Consecration. and holy crap, it was sour. it tasted like cherries and vanilla and all sorts of complexities i'm not talented enough to identify individually, but am good enough to recognize they come together well. btw think sour cherry beer is weird? try a banana pepper beer. or a spicy beer.
i've actualy tried a beer that literally tasted like waffles on a saturday morning. yes, specifically on a saturday morning. remember that scene at the end of ratatouille where
well, mine tasted like eggos and cartoons.
find me another form of alcohol that can do that.
(and let me know, id love to try it.)
and because this is smashboards, i feel a tier list must be discussed.
my alcohol tier list
-good beer (the bruery, russian river, etc.) - tastes good, gets you buzzed or hammered, still good for drinking games, very diverse and just overall versatile
-good wine/good liquor/good cocktails - wines can taste good, but are too expensive and aren't as interesting as cocktails. wines are probably my least favorite in this tier. cocktails, when made well, just taste good, and get u f'd up. liquor is inexpensive and gets you hammered quickly and painlessly if shot.
bad cocktails/bad liquor/bad beer (bud, coors, miller) - these are at least functional. bad liquor gets you hammered at low cost (how much is pain worth?), and bad beer is cheap and provides you with a ton of possible games.
bad wine - nothing to offer to me. slow to get drunk, tastes bad, not cost efficient, not even fun. and give me worse hangovers than any of the above.
in short, beer *****. find a good one.

upon tasting the ratatouille, Anton Ego remembers his childhood?
