What's so great about beer?

I'm not one of these militant, teetotaller "straight-edge" people...

"I'm a person, just like you, but I've got better things to do..."

Never had it.

Although most people I know who drink the stuff are seriously ****ed up.

Me and them being 14 may be part of the problem.

Never heard of it.

Never heard of it.

Google it and see how it tastes.

Probably.

Honestly, I drank more before I turned 21 than after... until I was about 24 or so. Even today, I don't drink heavily (I have a very mild gluten allergy, which typically means I can only drink a couple of beers before I feel bloated and don't want to drink anymore), but there's a lot out there that I do like to drink (of course, again, my medical issue might help me out more among this - if I can only drink a few beers, better make them as good as I can get, right?).

Also, living in what some people refer to as the microbrewing capital of the world helps just a little bit in terms of finding good stuff to drink for surprisingly little money. If anybody wants recommendations on stuff to try, more than willing to offer them, as well as possibly suggestions for stuff that people who don't like beer might be able to get into should they be out with their friends at a bar.

I like Beer because it is by far the best tasting form of Alcohol. Plus it is very fun to drink at concerts.

I cannot process this line of thinking.

Depends on the beer. It could be among the best (a five-year aged bottle of Stone Old Guardian, for instance), and it could be among the worst (Pacifico, anyone?). But just because it's a preferred way to consume alcohol? Not really among my reasons for drinking beer at all.

Even for the highest tier of beers I've tasted (stuff from Germany, Belgium, etc) cannot compare to a masterful wine or liqour.

Why people like beer? because it makes me go naked

Honestly, anymore most of the best stuff comes out of the US for beer - although a lot of that is just adaptations on popular Belgian, French, English, and German styles. I will say, though, that if you're looking for something a bit different (and also a bit more wine-like) to your beer, try looking out for some sour ales.
