Agen you are a completely insane incoherent anything <3
Wow a two-page discussion on booze! I'm pretty sure I have some cents around here somewhere. I, like most of the people I know, started drinking on cider and then mistook a bottle of white wine for more of the same and sort of gatewayed into spaghetti and wine dinners from there. If you're not into wine, that's very well possible because I hardly ever come by really good wine that stands to be drunk on its own. Wine is mostly some kind of "good with this or that" drink and the best thisorthat I can recommend is kind company. Not bar-company. Just get some friends together, uncork a bottle and spend the rest of the night criticising and yelling at Sandra Bollock's acting in The Proposal.
Not a big fan of beer and things. I don't think it's an acquired taste though! I know people who just get right into it and drink... quite a lot, actually, and I know people who just say no because they tried too many times and squandered a fair amount of cash with it. The appeal of beer, I guess, is that it's so easy to come by? I have beer in my fridge right now, and I don't even know where it comes from.
I usually sneak a can upstairs in situations where popping a cork would be a bit too obvious and everyone would know that I HAVE BEEN TOUCHING THE WINE SUPPLY OH NO. Last I had it was a week ago when a friend was trying (and failing) to teach me advanced League of Legends 103.
Booze, I find, is best consumed in severe moderation and with a company that is equally tipsy. When everyone is just a little off their socks evenings often take a turn for the hilarious, even if it's probably not that funny in retrospect. The greatest about it is that it's not just "this is the taste of alcohol." You can do so much with beer and wine and cocktails (I made sabaillon once! 'Twasn't that great :< ) that it's hard to just say "I don't drink alcohol because I don't like the taste." You can, I guess, it's possible that you like absolutely nothing, but if you say that I will fix you a cherry martini or something.
