What kind of beer(you can include other favorites from other alcoholic beverage types as well) do you like to drink???

I personally like the Sam Adams Boston Lager and Summer Ale, as well as Corona, the 3 big ones here in the south(Bud,Miller, Coors) and Dos Equis.

I also like the scotch you can get from Dewars, all types(including the Signature scotch, which I've heard a lot of people don't like for some reason)

I also love me some Jose Cuervo, and I had a swirl the other night at Uncle Julio's(local Mexican restaurant) with some pretty good sangria.

What does everyone else like???

Knowing the way my body reacts to things, I can imagine that drinking beer really isn't the best idea.

I don't like beer.
The only kind I ever enjoyed was once I had in Austria that was made with apples as well.

The only times I've ever gotten drunk I downed hard liquor mixes because I hate the taste of alcohol, but just wanted to see what being drunk was like.

To Makayla: First one: Fair enough. Don't want underage drinkers. For the 2nd, don't judge it cuz of its smell. You just gotta drink it. And drink it over a period of time, so you get used to the taste as well.

Sammich: How does it react to things?? Cuz my body reacts pretty weird to some things, but as long as I haven't taken any medication that day, I can pretty much drink anything. Hell, even the hard s**t won't hit me all that hard.

Guinness Extra Stout is my favorite.

If it isn't black, it's not beer.

I prefer Sam Adams Summer Ale and Cherry Wheat. As far as hard liquor I have had a few less than ideal experiences with it so I avoid it.

I do not like beer, but really like whiskey. Too much probably, and wine I am a huge winer. It is quite good when you just want to relax.

I hate beer.

Now, stuff like tequila, rum or vodka I can do. Gimme a Long Island iced tea any day over a beer!

That's a bit like me saying I don't like wine. I do like some wines very much - I just never get an opportunity to try them, nor the inclination.

Apple fruit beer? Or Apfelwein? I've never had Apfelwein (warm, hazy apple 'cider') but I want to, at some point. Perhaps if I ever get to Germany...

The mark of a good beer is masking or working with the alcoholic taste as much as possible. Which is why some 9% beers are dangerously quaffable whilst others just taste like Tennent's Super or worse.

Your main brand of beer in Turkey, Efes, is pretty awful actually and there doesn't look if there are any good microbreweries in there, in part because Turkish people don't seem to be a massive fan of drinking, what with being a) Muslims and b) part of the Southern European drinking culture. If that's all the beer you've had - along with Budweiser, possibly John Smith's, etc - I can understand why you don't like beer much!

Out of the Efes beers I had in 'Northern Cyprus' (Efes Dark, Efes Pils, Efes Xtra) they all without exception tasted absolutely appalling. I had to throw away the Efes Dark and the Efes Xtra because I just couldn't finish it - the Xtra was far too harsh tasting (I know it's a European strong lager but it's a pretty awful attempt) and the Dark was so marzipan-y, sweet and sickly that almost all of it went down the gutter. The Pils was drinkable, just, but it wasn't a brilliant lager and it's certainly not a beer I could choose. Wasn't too bad though considering the climate. I would have gone for KEO instead though.

How black do you want to take that? There are some stouts and porters that will knock your block off! :)

Vodka, Bacardi. Kahlua but I haven't had it for a long time (milk bloats me).

Lately I've been getting into apple and pear flavoured ciders. No specific brand as I'm still in the process of trying them all. I've never really liked the taste of beer but once I get used to drinking all this cider I might try some pale ales, or at least something that is low on the bitterness scale. As far as my tastebuds go I prefer to dip my toe in the water rather than dive straight in.
