Strange Thing...

Okay so whenever I drink lager, it always makes me sneeze. A lot. And I don't really like the taste. We all know it tastes like ****. Or maybe I've just got tired of it. I used to be able to have 8 pints in a night and be nicely drunk :wink: but now I don't like to have even one, but I can force myself.

I like to drink wkd just cos its easier and cheaper to buy a crate of 20 for £10 even though I don't get that drunk off them. So I'm wondering if anyone else is like this? I don't like the taste of lager (Fosters, although I used to like that and especially Stella that's just *****). And the sneezing. I don't think its an allergy...but the sneezing...and the taste...eww

might seem a silly question but....why drink it if you dont like the taste and it makes you sneeze? :smile: Or is it just in the past that you discoverd it did this?

Heh personally I think you can't be more stupid than to do something you don't like just because everyone else does it. What's the point?

Try drinking coke makes me go hyper :biggrin: lol me not an alcohol fan so no advice on that field I've never drank any before.
i never liked the taste but on a student budget proved cheaper than bottles....gradually got used to the taste

ahh just don't drink it..i know plenty og guys that drink WKD!!! you're nt alone, don't let stereotyping put you off drinking what you wnat to drink!

No one likes lager when they first have it, it's an acquired taste. Same with coffee. Same with most alcohol actually, which is why alcopops are so popular.

i thought that most alcoholic drinks get you drunk at some point... :tongue:

i mean hell..if you weren't drinking it to get pissed there are plenty of WKD blue flavoured soft-drinks..and you can even buy "beer" bottle sweets..
I'll drink lager if I have to but I always prefer real ales.

Drink what you want, maybe JD an coke or something similar if you don't want to look feminine with a smirnof ice/wkd.

Surprised with the number of lager haters though, i love that s**t.

im a girl and i drink lager...luv the stuff...especially heiniken (spelling??)...dont kno why it would make you sneeze tho....mayb there was just a cat nearby or somthing???
i've never liked Lager, i used to like cider.

I'm more into spirits now, but i do like alcopops.

A fun combination is down absinthe and Smirnoff Ice :biggrin: i just find it too expensive to drink.

Nah I quite liked coffee the first time I drank it :smile: Then didn't touch it for a year or two then came back to it cus everyone was drinking it, and I remembered I quite liked it when I first tried it. Since then I've been a coffee fan :biggrin:

alcohol on the other hand, never grew on me. Granted I've only ever had minor sips of alcohol before I cringed and refused it :rolleyes: Don't think I've ever had a proper gulp at alcohol at all - and don't really wanna try.

Never really been into lager or beer, so im usually just having straights or shots.

A couple or vodka and red-bulls gets me more hyper than a cat on ket. So t'is the way forward for me :biggrin:

Besides, Beer/Lager makes u fat! Ergh.
