I don't have a problem drinking liquer or malt beverages but for some reason i am unable to drink beer. I go to a party and all they have is beer so i attempt to drink it and once it touches my lips i get sick to my stomach, so i continue drinking it so i dont look like a pansy.but the only way to get it down my throat is by tightening all my neck muscles. its like my body rejects it. im not sure if im allergic to the hops in it or what , any ideas of what the deal is?

Don't drink it -- if you don't like it or whatever, it is lame to try. Bring your own booze.

Could it be that maybe you don't like non sweet drinks? My girl can't drink anything that doesn't taste like Kool Aid. The hardest thing she drinks is Hpnotiq, and to me that tastes like Kool Aid too. I used to not like beer (a LONG time ago), but it was only cuz I preferred sweet drinks. I eased into it by drinking mimosas (orange juice and dry champagne). I gradually made the mimosas stronger, then I started drinking dry champagne without the OJ. I got used to the champagne and gradually started trying beer. It took a while, but I grew to have an appreciation for champagne and beer. Beer is my favorite alcoholic drink now. I love trying all sorts ales, lagers and pilsners, and being able to appreciate their different flavors whether they be simple or complex brews. Beer is great if you're able to develop a taste an appreciation for it.

it is possible to be allergic to certain kinds of beers. try sampling different beers with different mixtures of hops, barley, malt, etc.
also, if you've had one really bad experience with beer (or anything for that matter) your body will create a defense mechanism to keep you from repeating this experience. for all your body knows that could very well be poison that your drinking and it will therefore do everything it can to keep you away from it. overcoming this reaction is a mind over matter sort of affair, so try building up a gradual tolerance to it.

You're missing out on on eof life's finest treats. But dont worry because some people are just allergic to certain substances so we must all make the best of what we are able to enjoy and embrace individuality.

Did you have some bad expereince with beer in the past? This sounds like it might be a psychological thing.

Some one has sliped you an anti-beer mickey. The effects should wear off in a week or two if they don't give you a second dose!

If you don't like drinking it, than don't!! Bring liquor with you so you won't have to drink beer. Sometimes, when you're used to liquor than beer is really nasty.
