Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Green Adam" data-source="post: 4561055" data-attributes="member: 50821">Up until about 3 or 4 years ago I couldn't stand beer. Actually I couldn't stand any form of alcohol. I have a very sensitive sense of smell and taste but for some reason 90% of all alcohol just tastes like medicene to me. That changed when, in an attempt to not look like a ninny among my bar going friends, I started trying a different brand of beer every time I went out. Over time I actually became fairly knowledgable about the different brands, microbrews and styles and discovered why I disliked beer so much for so many years. I had mostly experienced beer from my Dad or friends from college. What they all shared in common was a tendencey to drink really cheap, really crappy beer. Now years later I am pleasantly surprised to find that I actually really like beer as long as its darker, richer and more malty then hoppy. My favorites are bocks, porters and Scotch Ale. If you've never tasted Scotch Ale, real Scotch Ale, do so. It turns out I have a very high tolerance and can down 7 or 8 Smithwicks (a definite favorite) without much more then a mild buzz. The only drawback (to some, I don't find it to be so however) is I can't get drunk. After a short buzzing period I get sleepy and if I have more then I'm likely to just full asleep. I've never been drunk and never had a hang over. Still can't get past the taste of hard liquor though. It's all NyQuil to me. Just one more item to add to the list of things that prove my physiology is likely extraterrestrial.  AD<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000244/" target="_blank">Gwen DeMarco</a>: "Alex, where are you going?" <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000614/" target="_blank">Sir Alexander Dane</a>: "To see if there's a pub."</blockquote>
