Beer!

Beer. What's the appeal? Why do people blow their money on it?

At my friends house I drank three beers in a row and they had next to no effect what so ever aside from the nasty after taste. But just three shots of whisky and I can feel the effects. So what's the draw to beer? You have to drink five straight before you feel anything! Other then ruining your liver even faster and wasting a lot more money what is it worth? Do people really want a beer bellie?

I'm not encouraging others to start drinking whiskey, nor am I saying people should drink at all. I myself don't drink very often at all, maybe 5 times a year? I'm just wondering what the mentality behind drinking beer is? If people want to get drunk, why buy crap like beer? Seems pointless to me.
