Oh and as entertaining as the “dilly dilly” commercials are, Bud Light ain’t beer.

I actually worked at a brewery and still am not that big on beer. I do love 312, but it's never going to be something I just drink with a meal. I'm either drinking socially or not drinking. I can totally see how someone wouldn't like it. If you're not drinking it for the effects, it's not that palatable IMO.
Coffee is straight trash. If you want caffeine and sugar in the morning, just drink tea. It's actually good. But to each their own.

I know I'm missing something, but for me it all tastes the same. Only time I ever finished one was a Miller High Life after helping my grandpa with some yardwork, and the fact it was ice cold when the temp was in the 90s/100s and I had drank every drop of my water bottle was the only thing that helped me gulp it down. I could learn to like the taste I'm sure, but for the price...nah, can't do it.
Having a history of people in the family tree getting drunk and ending up in BAD shape (and I'm NOT talking about my brother who is also a member on these forums), the idea of drinking to get drunk just seems like a horrible idea to me...
...plus I'm also convinced I'm the kind of guy that would be depressing/depressed when drunk. I can't imagine myself being a "fun drunk".
And that's not to say I hate all alcohol. You take me somewhere that makes a good Bloody Mary (too many places go heavy on the vodka and don't mix it right, making it taste like watered down tomato juice), and guaranteed, that glass'll be empty in short order. There's also a few fruity drinks I'll have no problems slamming; pina coladas are the bomb, pineapple sunset (vodka, sprite, pineapple juice and grenadine) is awesome. I also like Rumchata. It's just when I usually go out and there's drinks (and I'm not the DD, which is starting to become less common), I'll eat something too, and typically my stomach is telling me to stop after about one drink and whatever I ate.

Outside of local brews: tried one in Memphis called Ghost River I really liked. Also Flying Saucer, my favorite name brand is currently Blue Moon.
Maybe it's the oranges.
Don't judge me.
Beer is an acquired taste, and as has been mentioned, there are different tastes to try
No one HAS to get smashed to like beer, but sitting around with some friends, havin wings or pizza while watchin a fight or ballgame f***in rules

Bud Light is the one beer I gravitate towards, but even that is rare. I'm not much of a drinker to begin with. I'm happy with the occasional glass of cranberry wine, usually during holidays or a party. Most of the time I'm consuming water, juices or tea.
Coffee is awesome though. Lighter, "breakfast" blends appeal to me more than the super strong dark roasts.

I tried a sip, once. I wasn't a big fan of it, but I'm also not a big alcohol drinker. (I can't have it, with my seizure meds, and if I do have any, it's in small doses, hours after taking the meds.)

I think I started with your typical macrobrews, and I recall rolling rock being semi-popular in our dorms. Of the big brewers, Sam Adams is definitely my favorite. Current favorite overall is probably by Dragonmead in Detroit - Final Absolution Recently tried a plum dark sour ale. I didn't even know sours came in dark. It was fantastic, and had a wax seal so you know it was fancy, but it was also $13.99 for one bottle. I haven't drank alcohol to actually get drunk in probably a decade. I'll go as far as a bit of a buzz, but that is a pleasant side effect rather than a goal.

It was the most revolting thing I ever drank. I mean, the smell was like gasoline, & it had a very acidic taste. I immediately started retching. That sounds like hyperbole from a Weiner, but like coffee, its something I can't understand why its popular. I'm going back to being a teetotaler. Fine speech.

Many years ago it was either Kyle or Stan who told me that beer taste like pee so I never had the desire to try it.

A great mind once said. "I don't understand beer. It's like drinking wood."
That being said, the trick is to find the brand you enjoy. Iceland, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic have some great ones.

My cravings for booze vary with the seasons. Some times of the year I'll go weeks without it, other times I can't wait to get home to have a glass of red wine with dinner. Beer I do sometimes get in the mood for, but I tend to keep it a once/twice a week deal (the calories are brutal and I count every one). I bounce between Stone, Ballast Point, and Bottle Logic when I feel like a "fun" beer, but IPAs invariably rule my taste buds. That being said... My guilty pleasure. Great for portion control and pacing, for obvious reasons.
