Hey, my brother became a millionaire from producing beer, by running factories in Shanghai, Phnom Penh, Adelaide and Nandi, so I dispute that. "

I was kidding of course, if there's is something that has to be good business at the moment it's alcohol. "

" I have no idea either.  It tastes truly horrid - all of it.  I am yet to find a completely truthful person who loved alcohol from the first drink.  They just keep doing it to "fit in" and eventually acquire a taste for it.  You can acquire a like of just about anything if you keep doing it, but pure logic says to me that it is a stupid concept.

 The first time I drank and the first time I got drunk were merely results of my curiosity. I wanted to know how it tasted and how it felt to be drunk. My first tasting wasn't satisfactory but the outcome was great. Being drunk makes me feel lighter and less restrained by depressing logic. With friends, being mindless is a very fun experience that exceeds many others.    Oh, and I used to hate broccoli and mustard with all my heart. Now I find broccoli rather enjoyable and I can't live without mustard on my sandwiches.    "

 Honestly, I didn't like beer the first time I drank it, but I tried a different kind and enjoyed it.  My point is that the taste of alcohol can vary a great deal depending on how the alcoholic beverage is prepared.  If I'd drank the other beer first, I may have liked alcohol from the get go.  Also, I prefer certain types of liquor over beer.  For example, I'm a big fan of a Martguerita.  I didn't keep doing it to fit in, as I wasn't attempting to fit in.  I started consuming it just because I wanted to try it.  There was no one around that I was trying to impress.  It was just me and my wife.   Oh, and the concept of acquiring a  like by continuing to do it is not always a stupid concept.  For example, let's say that the thing that you are attempting to acquire a like for is healthy for you, such as vegetables, then that concept would be a great thing.

Yet people drink coffee so you must hate them too. "

What crawled up your arse?  Where did I say that I hate people who drink alcohol?  My partner drinks wine because she likes it, but even she admits she didn't like alcohol, but acquired the taste eventually, confirming it was about peer pressure and a desire to be an "adult".  And yes, I hate coffee.  I can't stand the smell either.  Same thing as alcohol, as in you acquire the taste with persistence.  However, with coffee, I have been involved in selling millions of dollars of it over the last 11 years, so it pays my bills. "

 Alcohol doesn't pay anybody's bill, I guess.  "

I am sure there will be many other happy memories of fun games ahead - it is worth it.  Hell, I bought my second PS3 game 2 days ago (Valkyria Chronicles, to go with Disgaea 3) and I still don't own a PS3 - damn price, still too high  :/ 
 
Think about Monster Hunter Tri - excellent so far and so freaking hard, in a  good way.

"Also, if anyone here in Australia could help me find a copy of Muramasa: The Demon Blade that would be awesome. "

I loved Bailey's from the first time I tried it. Chi Chis, Mudslides, Margaritas and Daquiries as well. There are a TON of wonderful alcoholic drinks out there.    That said, if you were to drink the alcohol in many of those mixes straight up (eg. Whiskey, Tequila, Vodka) then yeah it can be pretty wretched in many peoples opinions (mine, included), but to me alcohol is much like coffee -- I dislike it straight up, but as part of a mix, it's fantastic. "

Yes, but we are talking about the addition of sugar.  Sugar can make anything palatable.  Hell, with 15 sugars, I could possibly drink a coffee (and get sick).  Of all the alcoholic drinks I have tasted, sugar versions are the least awful.  That is why alcohol companies push so hard with alco-pops, because they appeal to "younger" tastes, especially female. 
 

And...? That still counters your argument of not knowing anyone who loved it from the first drink and wasn't doing it just to "fit in", unless you narrow it down to specific alcohols. :P "

@trophyhunter: I'm guessing by your post you're like 14 years old. You have no experience in the matter so why even comment? You should let the grown ups talk while you go touch yourself to you're trophy level. "

" Yeesh, @Oldschool, if you are going to use that avatar, at least have some decency while wearing it. "
