Bad experience with beer when I was younger, now I can't even drink one beer without getting sick. Help?

Question

When I was younger, around 16, I had a bad experience with beer. Now that I'm older, I can't even drink one beer without wanting to throw up. Is there anything that I can do to acquire a taste for it? Would a dark beer like Guinness help? I can drink liquor just fine.

Answer 1

don't drink beer... that's the obvious answer!

and no, i don't think a dark beer like Guinness would help you at all. if you are dead set on drinking beer, then try a really well-made wheat beer (Blue Moon), or a flavorful white (Lost Coast Great White is awesome).

you probably had piss in a can when you were 16 (bud or coors), and that would make me wanna throw up too!

Answer 2

My question is, why do you feel the need to aquire a taste for it?
But in answer to your question I doubt that you will ever be able to drink a beer again.
I was a bartender for 30 years and can tell you, I have seen this before. I can't tell you what the cause is, if it is all in your head or something physical. But if you cannot "stomach" a beer after your bad experience then you will most likely never be able to.
Hope you are being more responsible with your drinking now than when you were 16 and should not have been drinking at all.

I dont know man. I had several bad experiences with beer. Yet I still love the stuff. I wouldn't get a dark beer, I would try a light beer with less flavor at first and see how that goes. Have some beer nuts or pretzels first, they just make you want to drink beer.

Answer 4

I used to hate beer so what I did was chew mint gum while I was drinking it that way I couldn't taste it I also would do a couple shots of jager first that way I didn't really care what I was drinking. If you go with a darker beer you definitely won't like it dark beer has a stronger taste than light beer.

Answer 5

Why is it necessary for u to drink beer? Just nurse your drinks and make them last instead if chugging beer. But if you still want to try beer again try some different brands or perhaps you could try some of the "smirnoff" wine coolers just to ease you in Some folks never acquire the taste for beer

Answer 6

I feel the same way about liquor. I would go with a lighter beer to get used to the taste. But depending on the situation you might just not like beer! Especially because you relate beer to being sick.. Some sort of psychological thing... If you really like beer, I would just plug your nose and drink it! =)

Answer 7

wow there a lot of people who hate alcohol
since beer is one of the best inventions in the world i suggest one of the following to help you get on track

some people chew gum while they drink or keep it on the side of the beer and chew it every so often, or try a drinking game to lighten the mood and take your mind off the beer. if you wanna save some money drink fine natural light which is pretty much water

Answer 8

Why the hell would you want to FORCE yourself to drink beer? That's just silly. Some people don't like beer. Plain and simple. Stick to liquor.

Answer 9

Beer is something that you either like or don't like.

My man doesn't like beer but he loves tequila straight. He does like flavored stuff like Mike's Hard Lemonade or Smirnoff Ice. Maybe try those. They would be great alternative to always drinking the hard stuff.

Oh btw, Guiness would be worse if you don't like beer.

Answer 10

Don't bother with the beer. There's other drinks that taste better and are just as cheap!!
Margaritas are good!!!!!!
