I was always told that I needed to 'develop' a taste for beer but to me
that seems all wrong. If it's good then a person would immediately like
it and not have to choke it down. Brownies certainly never needed me to
develop a liking for them, nor ice cream, nor a N.Y. strip steak, nor any-
thing else as tasty.

Anyway, I tried for a full year to 'develop a taste' for that stuff.
Every single night, I mean every single night, I'd choke down a bottle.
Never did like it and all I got out of it was an extra 10 pounds and
less money in my billfold.
