Meth is also horrible mess for everyone & everything.

These poor souls are worried about a person sipping a glass of beer or wine. Also, our antiquated beer laws. (Original in the wine blog.) I just thought I’d chime in!

“Beer is made by man, wine by God.”
Martin Luther
Both beer & wine both have wonderful taste profiles & fills our hearts with joy!
“God has given us wine and beer to gladden the hearts of men” (Ps 104:14-15)
Let us join together to fight the poor misguided Billy Sunday wannabes of our state. with GHB, Ecstacy, Ketomine & other far more dangerous substances out there. These poor souls are worried about a person sipping a glass of beer or wine.

Now that I'm experimenting with different craft beers, I find this NOT to be the case. The last sip is every bit as good a the first, to the point of wanting to go back for another (though I usually limit myself to one). I've found Great Lakes "Burning River" and "Edmund Fitzgerald" to be especially pleasing to my palate. While they differ greatly in taste, both are quite good. I took your advice and tried the Edmund Fitagerald with BBQ, and found it to be an excellent combination. However, I don't want to get stuck on one or two varieties...I want to try them all!

I am sorry that you experience such discomfort by ingesting ethanol. The point of my post was for folks who have no physiological condition that would prevent them from tasting and enjoying beer...

I'd like to offer a simple explanation, in the hope that people will stop trying to "convert" me to liking whichever beer it is that they're advocating: I don't like beer because it has alcohol in it. I don't drink anything with alcohol in it. It burns me. I can't even use mouthwash with alcohol. It's not a knock on your favorite beverage. It's my own personal quirk. So, if anyone sees me in a bar, and wants me to sample their favorite brew, don't be offended when I turn you down--I'm just there to hear the band. :-) I’m one of the “I don’t like beer” crowd.
