SC - Andalusian cookery

[Ron Martino Jr]

Beer is, like most good vices, an acquired taste.  Cigarettes, coffee,
beer, and, yes, even spicy food all require long and desperate exposure
before becoming anything like palatable. 

If you can stomach most beers, drink Guiness if you're hungry, Newcastle
draught if you're looking for comfort, Harp if you're feeling particularly
Irish, and Corona (don't forget the lime) if you're eating while you
drink.

If you loathe beer, that is no shame.  People drink beer because it's
(mostly) cheaper than liquor and is less likely to cause quick
drunkenness.

If all else fails, inform your friends (or drinking companions, if they're
not the same) that you adhere to medieval standards of brewing; that is,
if you can't pour the ale on a bench, sit for half an hour in leather
pants, and still rise easily, it is not worth your time.
Or you can be a snob and claim that nothing lives up to your own brewing
standards (this requires that you start brewing before you next go
drinking).
