Maybe it's an acquired taste. It took me ages to like beer, but I
succeeded!

I never could develop a taste for that swill. And when you have to
'develop' a taste for anything there's something wrong with that
concept. Did you have to 'develop' a taste for sex as well??

No, that was easy But with beer... what else could I drink when I
was 15/16 on a night out? Wine was hard to like too. I tried
whiskey/coke, rum/chocolate milk, gin/tonic, but that was all very
expensive compared to a glass of Heineken. It took many beers before
it didn't taste like a squeezed out wash cloth anymore.
