1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Infidel.
You've got to be more specific because there are dozens of types of beers that all taste nothing alike.
Agree with this. Even different brands of the same type of beer can taste so different that one is like an angel pissing on your tongue and the other one is just plain piss
Beer. I hate beer.
Oh, I like other alcohols. A nice cider. Some wine. A cocktail. But not beer.
And people have tried making me drink so many kinds of beer, from cheap store brands to "No, this isn't like other beer. It's expensive artisinal beer made in the local region that tastes like a whole fruit basket!". No, it still tastes like beer.
I wish I could like beer but I don't either. I love fermenting things, love making sourdough and tepaches, ginger beer too, and would like to try brewing beer but cannot like the taste, and beer breath is also so bad smelling.
Heretic.
This. Every time I say I don't like beer, a thousand people come up to tell me I didn't try "the right one".
Well, I did. From all corners of the world, including Belgium and Czech Republic (sometimes by physically being there and drinking it in places of origin). It tastes and smells like stale piss, why the fuck would anyone put that in their mouth? (Except to shut down folks who otherwise nag you to try it).
This is me, except there was one time I was invited to a brewery and drank a dark beer. It was really good, but unfortunately I don't drink alcohol much and I didn't remember what it was. Turns out many years later and beer still tastes so nasty I wouldn't even drink it to get drunk. I still try a dark brew every once in a while, but end up never finishing it because it's so bad.
Makes me wonder if it was something else, like a cider and I forgot.
Wine. No, you’re drinking grapes that are past their expiration and smell awful. I’m not crazy!
I'm italian and I agree with you
Heathen.
I am going to likely get downvoted to hell for this but Dr Pepper. It tastes like Raid (the bug killer spray, the way it smells is how DP tastes).
Cola's
Big ol glass of brown, nasty liquid.
Alcohol. I cannot abide the taste (or aftereffects) of alcoholic drinks, that shit ruins everything
Super hard agree.
Alcohol absolutely reeks, it is toxic and it knocks out your brain at the same time. What a beautiful idea to bring it to every gathering and drink it socially, while also often actively pressuring others to drink!

Tequila. It tastes like doing a vodka body shot off a sweaty unwashed taint. No idea how people enjoy it.

How dare you?
HOW DARE ANY OF YOU!??
I see like 50 mentions and alcohol and energy drinks. I got something different.
Kombucha.
Holy shit, it's like a soda that went off, and I don't even like soda. It is pungent and awful and I hate that it's marketed so well. Any time I see it on a shelf I'm like "Ooh, what's this fancy looking juice? That's a nice looking bottle. Oh, it's Kombucha, I would rather drink a cup of foamy dog vomit"

Kool-aid. Ideological Burst.
Red Bull tastes like ass. I never understood how it became the most popular energy drink.
Clever marketing and being in the right place at the right time

Vodka. It tastes like paint thinner. People say they like it and it must be popular because it sells frequently. But then why do people wince after drinking it?!

Moxie. It’s like all the worst flavors of birch beer and root beer combined.
Definitely coffee. I know it's super popular but I can't stand it. I kinda like the smell of it, but the taste I find awful and the aftereffects are excruciating and longlasting. Someone suggested I might have an allergy. I might or might not look further into this at some point
I have tried decaf though, once... chasing the hope that it would still -despite the absence of caffeine- trigger bowel movement at a critical time in my life. and it did! Apparently caused by gastrine, from my superficial reading.
