Absolutely vile shit.

That's a lie. Now explain why you would wash down your jellied eel with this.

For me it's Boddingtons

Boddingtons Pub Ale; it tasted like a combination of (English) piss and cleaning chemicals.

I recommend getting into some tasty cocktails to get your alcohol tolerance up, then when you want to impress your friends or whatever you're trying to do, you'll be able to drink beer all day and hardly feel a thing (unless it's super strength lager but you don't ever want to drink that).

Start with maybe 35cl (about 10 large shots) of vodka 2-3 times a week or every other night if you can handle it. Mix it in White Russians or Vodka Tonics with lemon/lime, or maybe Black Russians topped up with cola/Dr Pepper. A Moscow Mule (vodka and ginger beer with lime) is very drinkable too.

That amount should get you pretty plastered if you're not used to drinking so do this alone or you could make a fool of yourself. Don't do this on an empty stomach and drink lots of water towards the end of the session, about 2-4 pints. Have something handy you can puke into and aspirin and orange juice for the morning after. Don't die of alcohol poisoning!

Once you can handle more, bring it up in stages all the way up to 70cl (20 large shots) of vodka every other night. Now there's no turning back, you'll be doing damage to your liver and kidneys (depending on your age) and you'll feel cravings for it. If you tell anyone how much you're drinking now, you'll risk sparking an intervention. At this point you'll drink most people under the table.

Meanwhile you should be finding a manly pub drink you like. This Anon: >>6636539 has some good advice there. Pear cider and other fruit ciders are practically fruit juice as far as taste goes. Dry cider can be pretty rank so you might want to skip that. Boddingtons is a very smooth ale. Erdinger and Hoegaarden are nice weissbiers. I also find Budweiser easy to drink.

I've found smoking helps numb my tastebuds and can be a good palette cleanser if I'm going from sweet flavours to beer, but I wouldn't recommend cigarettes, it's not worth it. Miniature cigars are healthier and less habit forming (when smoked right).

tl;dr: Cocktails, you pansy!
