>>23009484Same, I just get headaches every time these days. It's not even the next day, but sometimes. And even though it used to take a whole bottle of hard liqueur to get me hung over, now I get a headache even after 1 single beer. It actually kind of sucks in general.
Also I prefer things like Bamberg Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier, and Hefeweisesbier Dunkle, dark wheat bears. ABT12, Weinerstephaner, and many other German black beers are all favorites. But Americans seem to hate it and if there's a party I will always be the one bringing stuff that's $7 a bottle before tax while the stuff they share with me is some pisswater from a gas station on the way over. People can like what they like, but I am tired of every event being in other people's favor by over $100. They never bring anything interesting.
I don't hang out with college bros, we're tech bros in Seattle now and go camping and stuff and every single event, I bring expensive fine culturally relevant beer that's an actual favorite to share. And not fucking once has anybody brought anything interesting. Not even a local IPA. Not some craft beer, nothing. Just Coors Light and other bullshit. My stuff gets gobbled down of course. But it's bullshit when I am being thanked and handed some extreme shit American gas station trash like it's a fair trade. I've got to spend time trying imported beers, tasting dozens of them and picking a selection that is both highly rated, diversified for more than one arche type, and should match the meals we have planned at the events. And people praise it. But then I leave with 3 cans of Pacifico and another night where every single drink anyone gave to me is some cheap shit I hate.
We can't talk about alcohol without talking about the culture around it. If everyone that likes to do outings is going to be a lazy cheap fuck, then I don't really enjoy drinking with people then do I? I guess I'm generally done with it.
