Beer is fine. I don't get a boner at the purity law, but I think Germans/central Europe really perfected it. Sessions, Lagers, Heffes, Dunkels. Beer should be well balanced and tasty. Jamming them full of hops or spices or fruit lost it's appeal to me a long time ago. Probably when I tried my own hand at brewing and realized that additives just mask an otherwise shitty beer.

You might think so but there is no "pretending" to like beer in that context, I don't think beer tastes "good" but I drink it because I like the effect, and enjoy it thoroughly in that regard.

Not necessarily, no. Not everyone who likes to get drunk at social gatherings is an alcoholic, and in fact those people probably do have some taste preference for beer as it's much easier on the tongue than liquor is and so they choose something they think tastes best to them.

Either way, people still drink beer to get drunk, it's not food, it's a narcotic.

No. It would be true if anyone in the history of mankind ever claimed they drank beer without the main intention of getting buzzed or drunk. I've never met such a person in my like 15 years of alcoholism and hanging out only with people who are drinking, but if they exist...then that is the only scenario in which the comic is "correct".

When I want to drink with friends and family, but still have to drive somewhere... I enjoy the taste of beer, maybe it's an acquired taste (although Molson and Coors still taste just as funky when I chug them), but I can and will absolutely drink only one beer in an evening - pairing with food, for dessert, out with friends but can't get near-beer - because I enjoy it.

But I get it, most of my friends can't do A BEER, it has to be a six pack, or enough to incapacitate them. At that point, I don't understand why beer is the intoxicant of choice, and not liquor, or nitrous oxide for that matter.
