I've tried those dark beers and some of the microbrews, but I guess they're
an acquired taste cause I don't like em. Seems that no matter what I'm
drinking, it's got to be cold and it's got to be at a steady pace. If I
drink too fast, naturally I get too drunk. If I drink too slow, I get a
headache. If I stop at some point, I will be asleep, or wanting to be, in
about an hour.

About the only day I do any serious drinking is on the 4th of July. We
always have a cookout/pool party at our house and I'm not going anywhere
anyway. Usually I just get Bud Ice (I know, Bud's not really beer) and have
a steady buzz for the afternoon and however far into the evening we go.
After that, I'm done. Bedtime.

About the only time nice cold beer tastes really good to me is after
working in the yard on a hot day. And even then, I drink for effect, not
flavor. But that's when the flavor seems actually good. I don't want
something sweet and I've usually done enough water to float a
battleship.
I
can't understand people who say they drink because they like to an not
for
effect. It's a drug. You put drugs in your body for effect. That's what
drugs are for.

You are clearly drinking the wrong beer, Mike! :-)

I won't argue that the effects of a few beers are not nice -- but as I get
older the line has grown fuzzy between "a nice buzz" and "a nice nap".

This is why I prefer three really good beers to six really cheap beers!
